wiring nitrous pressure gauge to toggle switch

[eric v6]

is there anyway for me to wire my electric nitrous pressure gauge to a toggle switch

Re: wiring nitrous pressure gauge to toggle switch

Yes. Mine is hooked to toggle because its too bright at night.

Hook up the 12v power source like normal then put the toggle on the ground wire.


Like so:


---------- switch
gauge______/ _______ ground

Re: wiring nitrous pressure gauge to toggle switch

okay my electric nitrous pressure switch is hooked up to a harness and on the end it has 4 wires the colors are red black white and orange and it says nothing about a toggle switch but I wanna use my toggle switch to turn it off and on when I want to Im lost on this

Re: wiring nitrous pressure gauge to toggle switch

One of those has to be a ground wire (my money says its the black one).

Re: wiring nitrous pressure gauge to toggle switch

yeay it is and the red wire is supposed to run to the battery and the whitr wire is supposed to run to a constant 12volt source and the orange wire is optional that you can hook to your headlamps. I can hook up the gauge but I wanna run it through my toggle switch.


You know what I think I know how to hook it up I might have to buy a fuse kit and then run it to the switch I am confident now thanks shodown for the help


its gonna be something like you drew up but with a fuse in the middle


switch
gauge___fuse___/ _______ ground

Re: wiring nitrous pressure gauge to toggle switch

There's no reason to put an in-line fuse on a ground, dude.

There isnt any power going thru it.

Re: wiring nitrous pressure gauge to toggle switch

no the red power wire that goes to the battery needs the fuse I think.

Are you telling me is that all I need to do is run the black wire to my toggle switch and hook everything up like normal

Re: wiring nitrous pressure gauge to toggle switch

thanks man everything came out good I actually made a hole in my center console on the side just before you get to the cup holder and mounted the electric pressure gauge in that hole I swear my dremel is a life saver I did my t top conversion with it.
