Black/Lt. Blue:
18 gauge wire, printed
[INSTRUMENT PANEL] #937 LEFT TURN
INDICATOR POWER
, this wire is a power activation wire for the left turn signal
indicator. This wire is spliced into the wire going to the front left turn signal. It will have
interrupted switched ignition power, through the turn flasher, anytime the left turn signal
is activated. It will also have interrupted switched battery power, through the hazard
flasher, anytime the hazard switch is activated. This wire can also be seen in the
Turn
Signal Switch Schematic
on page 77.
Black/Lt. Green:
18 gauge wire, printed
[INSTRUMENT PANEL] #936 HIGH BEAM
INDICATOR POWER
, this wire is a power activation wire for high beam indicator. This
wire is spliced into the wire coming from the high beam side of the dimmer switch, to the
headlights. This wire will have power anytime the headlight switch is in the HEADLIGHT
ON position and the dimmer switch in the HIGH BEAM position. This wire can also be
seen in the
Headlight Section Schematic
on page 30.
Black/Blue:
18 gauge wire, printed
[INSTRUMENT PANEL] #938 RIGHT TURN
INDICATOR POWER,
this wire is a power activation wire for the right turn signal
indicator. This blue wire is spliced into the wire going to the front right turn signal. It will
have interrupted switched ignition power, through the turn flasher, anytime the right turn
signal is activated. It will also have interrupted switched battery power, through the
hazard flasher, anytime the hazard switch is activated. This wire can also be seen in the
Turn Signal Switch Schematic
on page 77.
The following instructions will be universal in nature due to all the different
manufacturers of aftermarket gauges. Use the following instructions along with the
gauge manufacturer’s instructions.
Most electric aftermarket gauges require four or five wire connections:
Gauge Power-
a Switched 12 volt power source
Gauge Ground
(some gauges do not require this)
Signal-
from a sensor or sending unit
Gauge Light Power-
12 volt power source from the Gauge Lighting circuit
Gauge Light Ground
Most mechanical aftermarket gauges only require two wires to be connected:
Gauge Light Power-
12 volt power source from the Gauge Lighting circuit
Gauge Light Ground
All of these connections are present in the wiring Painless harness. However if
will be up to the installer to distribute the power for the gauge and the gauge lights as
well as the grounds. This additional splicing will be dependent on the method the gauge
wires are connected to the gauges.
There are two methods to connecting aftermarket gauges:
Separate harness
Hard wiring
