where did u get ur illumantion wire from what u use for the ground wire and also ur 12v feed wire thanks

 

1. I got my wire from a totaled cobalt from my work that came in. (I work in a body shop), but any auto parts store should have it.

2. I used some bolt under the dash for my ground, next to the A pillar.

3. I got a add a fuse and connected it to my windshield wiper fuse.

 

u mean a add a fuse?? and what did u use for a lumination wire

 

Yes a "add a fuse". I just used automotive wiring. I dont remember what gauge the wire was though.

 

wtf is add a fuse lol but still wanna know about what wire to use for an liymantion one cause i dont want the blue led light on all the time if i dont have to

 

Safest way to do it. And what kinda gauge did you buy?
GlowShift's Expandable Circuit & 4 Amp Fuse

 

add a fuse just allows u to tap into an existing fuse. so u can easily connect ur wiring without splicing existing wires

 

i bought autometer cobalt volt guage and just needed to know the wires where to put em,,now what about lumination? take that off the old boost piwer wire

 

lmfao u still didnt get ur answer dude....i personally left it unhooked but i would think it has to be a wire hooked up to something that you can change the lightning on like the radio or clustergauges " but i can be wrong on this thats y i didnt mess with it".....

NVM u just got it haha...

 

I just left mine unhooked theres really no need for it.

 

i thought bout leaving it unhooked but wanna have all my guages lite up especially nite driving

 

Then hook it into the Dimmer switch, ive seen alot of guys do that. I have a tinted gauge so mines on all the time.

 

how hard is that to tie 3 gauges into that let alone how to

 

Wait you should have a :

1-direct voltage power cable that hooks up to your battery or any direct 12v source

2- power wire that connects to a switchable 12v souce thats only activated when the car is on like the power windows switch " this will control the on and off "... Do this !

Run a power power from the window switch fuse from the fuse box on the passenger side then run it all the way to ur gauges and connect them to that...thats how i have mine hooked up and they will light up every time the car is on and turn off whenever the car is off.

The illumination is only to dim them or brighten them, just leave that unhooked " put electric tape on it so it doesnt touch anything else "

 

Follow this How to. You have the same exact gauge.https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/how-...tmeter-135541/

 

so a 12v souce tie into the pass power window? and then just a ground if i get it right

 

Or just get the add a fuse, believe me its the easiest way. And get a good ground and the gauge should work fine.

 

open the fuse box u should be a fuse for the power window switch, just hook the wire into that ...

yeap and a ground close to the gauges

this would work too

 

ive never seen them around any auto shop here,,y dont i just tase one of the empty spots in my fuse panel

and then my ilumnation wire will work as well with this into the power windows

 

They have them trust me. Im not to sure on this ilumination wire hopefully someone else can tune in. Just follow that how thats the same exact gauge you have and he tapped into his dimmer switch for the light.

 

i know with the gauge i was reading that the is a main 12v power and a fround trhe nanother power for the ilumantion...maybe with ill do it tie it into my p.w on the pass side but the ground close to the a pillar, and for the iliumantion. put a jumper wire from the main 12v on the guage to the illumantion terminal u think????

 

IDK, hopefully someone else can tune in. I would do what I said, or follow that how to.
