12V Source for a boost gauge?
I searched but, couldn't understand. I'm installing a boost gauge into my Del Sol. And I need a switched 12V for the illumination of the guage. I know nothing about wiring.
Were would I find a switched 12V??

you could use them 5 empty slot under the big green plug....they are 12v too...you need a test light and try each one of them to see which one comes on when you turn your headlight on....thats where i hooked up all my guage to...

Yes you can. I had three gauges all running from the same source in my last car, it worked fine.
Oh also. My OBD1 car was different from those diagrams. The best way is to just use a test light and test each one individually, instead of trusting one of those diagrams.
