anyone got a diagram for the gauge wiring i need to splice into power for lighting, the fuel gauge wires, low fuel light, volt gauge wires, and any other warnings.

and the only hint is theres 400 in gauges on the way to my house and i have about 200 more in gauges already here.

but id like to splice in at the connector to the gauge pannel that will be easiest route to wire.

Why not just wire it up to the fuse box I think it would be much easyer :dunno

What I did, and I'm not saying its the right way, but it worked.......

If you have an aftermarket stereo and don't use the dimmer feature (mine doesn't have one. Most don't), you'll have an extra wire hanging off the adapter harness you used to hook it into the OE wiring harness. Of course, that assumes you used an adapter. Anywho, I just hooked mine up to that wire. Super easy since the gauges are hanging under the ashtray. Works great!

ok ki gotta let the cat outta the bag. those stock gauges are going and yes i can hook in power no problems but, my new cluster will have aftermarket cauges that need hooked up. that is why i need the wiring diagram. without it i got to poke around for wires to find stuff like fuel level wire and other things.
