Does n e 1 know what to hook gauges to let them have power in a ek hatch?

 

OEM cluster? Be more specific please...

 

do that (sorry for that lol.. it had to be done)


but seriously, which gauges are you trying to light up?

 

I hope this isnt just a ricer question on how to make indiglos work

 

You have to pull out/or cut the 2 power wires from the connector that connects to the guage cluster and connect those to the lil black box that came with your guages. I say to cut the wires and not tap into them because having the cluster lights AND the indiglo guages lit up at the same time looks like crap. I did this like 5 years ago so I dont remember exactly which 2 wires were the light wires. Maybe someone could post a diagram.

 

im trying to hook up an air fuel gauge and boost gauge and i would like to know what shoould i use to power them

 

any 12v ignition wire...(only hot when key is on)...cig lighter is a good one...etc

 

so what about when i turn on my light at night will they come on when i turn on my corner lights like my cluster does

 

C4 yellow wire Positive (fuse 25) or you could just use a spade terminal and slide it under the positive marked screw for the tach or speedo both options work for power.

For illumination connect to the C13 Red/Black wire, this the positive for illumination but the cluster uses a ground controlled negative for dimming...

 

 

thanx. it sound like u know what ur doing. i hope

 

pick up a haynes manual and look at the wiring digrams thats what i used when i put in my o/p and o/t and i just wired mine to the radio lights and they come on when the radio does (there mounted right under the radio so it was the closest place)

Well I figure if my buddy with a turbo'd integra trusts me to install his new gauges and wire them up, as well as most of my friends come to me with any form of electronics questions or installations, I thing I know what I'm doing


Honestly tho, on my buddies integra this is how I did the wiring for his gauges and the tach that was in my car before I got an EX cluster was drawing power from the gauges in the same fashion I mentioned above... And I'm using the same set up for my gauges (but I'm getting light power from the hvac since my gauges are where my stereo used to be).
