Hey I just ordered an electric boost, oil temp, and egt gauge set from prosport. I'm trying to figure out how to easily wire them. Any recomendations on easy ways to find anf identify the right wires to wire to? I'm needing help finding the wire in my '96 GS-T spyder for:

ACC position of ignition
the parking light switch
a constant 12v source

Better yet, is it possible to wire to these souces through a fused wire?

Thanks in advance guys.
 
Well, I'll try to help you out here. The way I like to wire gauges is through the radio harness wires. You need to pull the center console out, pull out the radio and grab yourself a multimeter. First, with the car off and the key out, ground the black wire on the multimeter and use the red one to find the constant power source by sticking the wire in different spots on the radio harness. Then, find the accessory power by putting the key to the accessory position and finding the wire on the harness that provides power. Lastly, instead of using the parking light switch, I like to use the dimmer switch wires. So put the key in, put your headlights on, and use your multimeter to find the wire that comes on with the headlights. Make sure its the dimmer wire by turning the dimmer switch up and down - the voltage the multimeter is reading should change as you turn the dimmer switch.
You can also use the wires that go to the cigarette lighter if you want.

I'm sure all the wires on the harness are identified on this site, but it's important you check yourself and know a little about what your doing. That's why you should identify them yourself with the multimeter.
