  • what wire should i splice into for my gauges

    i am trying to splice in my boost gauge and tach into the dimmer so i do not have bright ass gauges in my face. Theres a yellow wire, red wire, and black. Which one should i splice into? :roll:

    Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though.

      not sure.... my gauges not hooked up to dimmer and I HATE it because they are sooo freakin bright... I will have to do that as well, as soon as I start putting the car back together... In mean time if you find out let me know or maybe someone else knows...

        well, black'll be ground. have you tried cutting into them a bit and using a multimeter? just splice into the one that's voltage goes down when you manipulate the dimmer switch

          Yeah what he said!! I would guess like radio's red is the switched power or in this case I would bet, the differentiable dimmer wire where as the yellow would be constant power but I could be wrong.. Just test with a multimeter... -Kyle
