i am wiring up the gauges on my 02 . where can i tap into 12v switched power? the instructions i have found say tap into the white wire w/ light blue trace under the steering column . i can't seem to find that wire. any suggestions?
Any wire that is ran by the ignition switch will work. I used a test light and turned the key on. I found a wire that had power when the key was on and no power when the key was off, the wire I used is blue with a light green tracer under the dash, It is about a 12 gauge wire and it goes to a gray connection box under the dash by the steering column I have an 02 as well.
There's one behind your stereo that is switched power. It's a bit of a PITA unless you had planned to pull your dash, but its an alternative. I think it's also blue/white stripe or vice versa
If you look directly under your steering column there is a wire harness plug all by itself not plugged into anything. I can't remember what the tag on the plug says, but use your meter and find the wire that has 12 volts when you have the ignition on. If I remember right its the blue and white wire. Use the wire taps to tap your wire if you can. Good luck.
That is a good link, but have you noticed that there is no info on instaling a oil pressure or fuel pressure gauge anywhere that I can find, or am I just looking in the wrong places.
