I put in my ac autotechnic gauges and i have been looking up info on honda tech to power the gauges, but i can't find a concrete answer. What is the quickest and easiest way to power the gauges safely and have no future problem. The instructions are vague, something about the parking light. Please help!

 

by the way it is a 95 civic dx

 

I have heard of people tapping into the fuse for the parking lights under the dash, that way when you turn on the lights, blamo, indiglo gauges.

 

BY Burning them!!!!!

if u look on ur fuse box under the dash u will see 6 spade connectors in a row with nothing in them. i believe its the 2nd or 3rd one (going right to left) its a ouput that will send a signal when u turn your lights on.

 

how do you tap into those connectors?

 

- Go to any local hardware store

- Buy a spade connector

- Put the spade connector onto the wire that needs power for the gauges

- Plug connector into empty slots in fuse box

 

Thanks I just want to know one thing, what does a spade connector look like and where are they located on my fuse box, or the slots are located? I'm sorry if that sounds stupid, i never did this before, i need to learn.

 

anyone?

 

Hey, ok i found connectors for the spade fuse. I take it you need a female spade connector right? I also found 5 outlets not 6. Does that seem like the right place? It's right below the fuses themselves

 

before u plug into ur fuse box make sure it is the one that only works when ur lights r on. just get a voltmeter and test it. it shouldn't read when u turn on the engine, only when u turn on the lights. and the connecters on the fuse r above the colored plugs. u'll c a buch of different coloured plugs with nimbers on em and stuff, just above those u'll c them, i don't know how to explain what they look like though.

 

well, what i saw was below the fuses towards the floor, that there are five of them and have numbers on them and they are grey like the rest of the panel. I see the colored fuses and all kinds of things below them going towards the floor
