is there anywhere to install the wires to electric gauges besides the fuse box inside the drives door? it looks crappy to have wires going into that fuse box..just curuois..thanks

What type of gauges? I tapped into the cig lighter for 12v and also the radio hot wire. The gauges donty draw that much power.

 

I'm not sure why using the "IGN" connection on the end of the dash fuse block has to look "crappy".... You only need a single wire to the panel, and its totally invisible when the cover is on the panel.

If I had used a black wire, you wouldn't even notice it without the cover.

 

well i have cyberdyne digital trans temp/watertemp/air fuel/ ambient air temp

3 wires each,,i have 12 wires,,,4 need to go into my fuse box,,how did u get up there? just run up through underneath the steering wheel? i also have to run 4 sending unit wires,,i guess drill a hole through the firewall??

 

You don't need to run all the individual wires to the fuse panel. Run a single wire the way I did, and mount a terminal strip under the dash. Connect all the gauge +12V wires to the teminal strip.

I have electric oil temp, tranny temp, fuel pressure, 5" tach, and several connections to the nitrous system relays all coming off that single wire. I did increase the fuse from 15A to 20A.

Don't run the gauge lighting wires to that connection. Tap into the headlight switch (undimmed) or the output of the instrument panel dimmer rheostat (dimmed) for the lights.

 

If your looking for a hot (power) wire and ground wire, look on the pass. side under the center console. Under the rug are 3 wires: pink, orange, black. Black is ground and one of the other 2 is hot. I have my gauges powered there. GM left those wires there for accessories. Just strip the ends.
