Hooking up an innovate lc1 and innovate fb gauge. Two quick wiring question:
1- instructions say I am supposed to hook one of the gauge wires up to a wire that supplies current to the headlights. Is one of the two left most (73 fuse panel) fuses an acceptable tap in point? 2- what is a preferred 12v switched tap in point? |

Is one of the two left most (73 fuse panel) fuses an acceptable tap in point? 2- what is the preferred 12v switched tap in point? Easy, just did this not to long ago. I wired everything to the back of the fuse panel. Just un-screw it and use a circuit tester to find the 12v always on, there should be three of them on the right of the fuse panel, then the very next on to the left should be black with red stripe, that is 12v switched but you should verify it by just switching on the ignition and checking with the circuit tester. There should be an extra spade on the lower end of the panel that you can just tap into. Then you should look to the left for a Black with blue stripe wire coming out the top. This is the instrument panel lighting 12v. I used some spaded jumpers that you can get from any autoparts place, they use them to tap the fuse panel for radios. My local Aircooled parts place had them and they are cheap. All you need to do is get some crimping female spade connectors and your good. Attached thumbnail(s) |

One recommendation: place a fuse in-line for the constant 12V feed. The innovate manual specifies the value (I think it's 5A).

I have not hooked up the headlight current wire yet. This may sound strange but if I hooked the wire from the gauge that is supposed to go to the headlight current wire- to a 12v switched wire- would the gauge run dim at all times? I thought the gauge was a bit bright. Thank you |

It is 12v for all the dash lights. |
