wheres a good place to splice the 12v lighting for my oil press. gauge? i was thinking the dimmer switch but theres 3 wires there and there all red, which one should i splice? or which wire did you guys do for yours? thanks

 

some one's gotta know

 

goto the dash fuse box, use one of the 2 option spade connections.

 

option spade conection? is that one of the blank spots for the fuse? or is it a wire, if its a wire what color are they? thanks man

 

i am pretty sure mista bone is talking about c953 and c954 in this pic

 

These are good spots. I have my gauges hooked up to c953 and my turbo timer hooked up to c954. C954 is weird though. I hooked up a voltmeter to it and it read 12v at ignition2. Then when I turned the key off the volts would slowly drop off. weird. Anyone know why? BTW the turbo timer works just fine.

 

the slow retierement of voltage is probably due to the presence of Condenser, or Capacitor as some one said, You know those thing round with nice color??, we put some very big one on sound system to eleminate the light dimming problem will pumping the sound?? then in these peice it's actually some metal plate, very fine but very long, like 15 foots longer separate by an isolating product, like a peice of paper. wen juice is putted to the unit, it's stocked in, then it's why when you cut the ignition, a few menute after it goes out because his reserves are finished! it's like a little batterie with little capacity and little life! Hope this light your way!
see ya!

 

hey, i just looked under my dash and i found the spots, but how would i go about linking my wires up to those spots? i wouldnt be able to soder in that space, is there a plug that would fit there, so i would just splice that? or how did you go about hooking up the wire to there? oh and would i be able to hook up 2 wires on one of those spaces? or should i seperate the two? thanks a lot

 

hook up both gauges to one space so you still have and open one, and yeah i know a connector fits on there you just gota look I dont know exactly which one though but I know theres one because I used it on my car.

 

so is that conector on my car already or do i need to go to honda or somewhere to get it? is there any other way beside getting a conector to hook up the wires to there? thanks

 

Thanks B_1_9, you read my mine exactly.

 

i have used a connector like the yellow and blue one (all the way to the right) when connecting a wire to the smaller 10a or 15a fuses. not sure if you can use one like these for the option fuse.

You can just use a fuse tap off the dash lighting fuse, it will turn on and off with your lights.

 

where would i find the dash lighting fuse? sorry im not much on electronics and all these wires. thanks again

 

it will be in the dash fuse box which is located to the left of the steering wheel under the dash. i am not sure what number the lighting fuse is though...it should say it on the fuse box cover.
