Alright, i'm about to install a Volt gauge and Air/Fuel gauge in my car. Now i was wondering where do i hook up the volt gauge? to the battery or any 12 volt source? for the rest i'm sure i can find out how, cause there is a DIY for the Air/Fuel gauge, but not the volt.
thanx.

i might have just found my answer... do i connect the wire to the 12volt source that is turned on and off with the ignition switch?

Yes. Voltmeter goes to 12V ignition controled source, like cig lighter socket. Ground goes to ground. Then for the light, you have to tap the wire to your dash lights. I think it's the red/grey cable going into the blue connector on the gauge cluster (yes, the cluster bezel has to come out to get to the connector).

yeah, i think it's red/black wire. I remember taping into that one when i installed my reverse gauges. But they wouldn't work at first, it too me a while to figure out why... cause there's a pink/black wire that can look alot like red/black if you don't know there's another one! lol

anyways, thanks for confirming all of that for me!
