  • air/fuel gauge, where to connect power?

    Got an autometer a/f gauge...where EXACTLY do i hook up the POWER (red) wire? I know its gonna be like the Ignition wire or something cuz you dont want it on all the time. But how do I get it to the ignition wire? I am a little confused on this...

    When I put mine in, I just ran it to the fuse box, and and used the radio terminal. This may not be the traditional way of doing it, but according to autometer tech., AND Fazegauge.com, it is safe to do. What brand of Air/fuel gauge did you get?

      Autometer #4375
      I think the ground may have been my problem, I should have ran it back into the engine bay, but instead i hooked it up to a bolt under the dash...

      I guess I will try again with the power to the fuse box.

        I used the radio fuse because it will turn your gauge on when the key is the accessory position, and when the car is running. If it still doesnt work, the problem is with your ground.

          i just pulled out the radio and spliced into the yellow power wire..yellow is traditionally the ignition...got it on the first try w/ no voltmeter! [img]smile.gif[/img] gauge is temporarily in the middle driver's vent. BTW....i've got the autometer ultra lite A/F...i have multiple, and i mean ,multiple led's light up...i know it's supposed to be a scan type gauge, but my friends has only like, 2 on at a time, while mine has maybe 5 or 6. it's mostly at idle...does anyone's else's do this? i've got mine hooked into the high wire on the cats O2.
