Default Wiring Gauge

Well im trying to wire my boost gauge to my dash light setter. (the manual control that you can set how much light is used on the dash) question is do i need a bigger fuse because its not turning the light on for the gauge unless i dont allow the dash to light up.

Example since i suck at english

you wired it wrong. You have to take the ground from the gauge and tie it into the dimming wire at the dimmer. If you dont know which one use a test light and turn the dimmer switch. When the light starts to dim with the switch, tap that wire.
