How to install Autometer gauge - voltage meter?
 
Shell: 93 Civic Cx
Motor: 98 GSR / OBD1 p72 ECU

Just purchased 3 gauges for the Hybrid (oil press / water temp / voltage).

Wondering how to install the voltage meter once it arrives

Picked up this one (ATM-4791):

One wire to ground, another to a switched positive circuit.

Going to finally install the gauges this weekend. Where is a close switched positive to the center console?

Thanks!

tap the clock harness for power, easiest clip to get to

Personally, I would run that gauge straight to the battery's positive post.

I would prefer an accurate voltage level at the battery, and it is proven that you lose a bit of voltage going through the car's electrical system.

or i believe there us a switch 12v source on the fuse block.

2 Questions, does an ammeter install the same way? And how did you wire up the gauge lighting?

LudeyKrus Nov 25, 2003 06:37 PM

No; the ammeter basically sits between a large high-current power cable.

And the lighting wires are wired the exact same as the other gauges; on a switched 12V line.
