Is the red wire the 12v or the white?
I know black is ground and I have a feeling red is the 12v
Gonna guess red is 12v and white is illumination.
theres a real easy way to find out. pop your hood. place the black wire on the negitive terminal and place either white or red on the positive. whichever wire makes the needle move is your 12v source.
but like joe said, red is power and white is illumination
Might of made a boo boo...
I grounded it just fine.. 12v I believe is fine. and illuniation worked when I tapped into the orange wire from the fog lights...
The gauge lite up and worked just fine over 14volts.. but when I turn the car off the needle stayed right where it was.
also when my headlights are on in park just my markers come on? When I put it in drive they come on? Did I just disable my drls on accident?
Help lol
Thanks
thats because you dont have it on a switched source, instead you have it on one thats constant. tap into the ignition wire
which one is the ignition? red or yellow
If im thinking the right one its a thinker yellow wire or the red one when I take the plastic piece off on the steering wheel?

honestly i couldnt tell you. i dont know much about wiring in our cars. search for volt gauge and im sure there is a thread that tells you which wire to hook up to
