One last gauge question...

Alright, i fixed up my gauge problem and recalibrated them myself today, everything works awesome finally

now, the last thing i have to do is figure out where to wire the harness that came with the gauges,

i wired it to my battery, but realized that they dont turn off with the car, so, should i wire it to my fuse box under the hood? i think that would work

I would say sure, if not you can always hook it up to the fuse box in the car on the side, use the radio fuse...thats where I have most of my stuff hooked up too, in the side box....

When i fixed y gauges i pulled off all of the needles. I sat in the car with noting on the dash with the cover off the cluster. With the needles off I did the gauge reset, by holding in the trip button and turning on the ignition. Then you turn off the ignition entirely. Then, VERY carefully, i placed them all in the position they would go to, on the black needles that keep them from going to far down. So then when i redid the gauge reset and the calibrated damn near perfectly.

Speedo- needle stops every 30mph
Tach- stops every 2000 RPM
Fuel - stops every quarter tank i believe
Temp - goes up half then the rest of the way then back down i think

Then, just to make sure, I went down the highway with my dad and he set his cruise to 60mph and i got behind him and set my cruise too, i was going 60, but there may have been a MPH error of 1 or 2, big deal

thats all you need to do, or at least thats what id reccomend if you fuck up big time like i did

otherwise, the gauges look sexy as hell, nice blue color with red in it, not too bright either

there ya go
