boost gage wiring

[210 dsm]

i need some help on how to wire my boost gage to the light switch. right now im using a light up gage, the ones that have a red (power) wire and a black (ground) wire. theres also a orange wire, but its not connected and i dont know were its suppose to be connected to.

right now the ground is on the radio support. the power is to a cheep toggle switch then from the switch it gos directly to the power terminal on the battery. so my point i guess is how do i wire it to othe light switch so it turns on with my light?????????????????????

hey man...
anytime you have a question about installing something hit up VFAQ Site - Visual Frequently Answered Questions first. theres an awesome write up on installing your boost gauge and hooking it up to the dimmer switch with the rest of your dash lighting.

just go to the site VFAQ Site - Visual Frequently Answered Questions and click on DSM modification site then click gauges in the table at the top and its the 3rd one down.

hope this helps!

i wired mine to the lighter light but there might be something easier depending on where you are mounting the gauge

I ended up wiring mine from the little light in the ash tray. You have to take out the center console. Not too hard, there's just a few screws. The cigarette lighter wiring is probably closer to where you'll mount it (unless it's on the A-pillar) but it's sort of awkward to reach.

in my 2gb i wired them to the cruise control module over to the left under the a pillar, spliced some wires that saw voltage when the lights were on and just crimped them together and wrapped it in electrical tape and it was good to go.
