Best place to tap for 12v ignition source?
I'm installing two gauges very shortly.
Where is the best place to tap in for the 12v ignition source? |
I tapped off the rear defrost switch, I forget which wires though... Although, I think the switch was moved on your year. Mine is under the headlight knob.

or go out and get yourself a digy meter so that u can test for a switched 12v.(they come in very handy for many uses in the future)..or the pull your radio out...and tap in there.yellow wire with black stripe may be your easiest area

I will tap into the wire behind the radio. Thanks :tup Do you know which wire leading to the radio is for the dimming of the lights? |

WHY HACK INTO SOMETHING THAT IS FUNCTIONING or OTHER SWITCHES ETC??? I have always wondered why people do this... i would suggest the cigarette lighter socket, or in my case i always tap stereo power that i ran to the back for my amps. I have even had a small fuse panel for different things i have working
