ignition wire 70 series

[johan peeters]

Hi, does anyone know were i can locate the ignition wire in the dash of my hzj 75,i need to connect some gauge wires to it, thanks, if possible a color code or visual aid

I took off the cover around the ignition switch and used a volt meter to work out which one was live when the key turned on... Then tapped into that one...
Otherwise you have to go around with said meter and find a live wire when On....

There should be some spare slots on the fuse box you could use.

yeah that's true, any idea how many amps the fuse must be for 2 gauges, i thought 7.5amp fuse,is that enough

 

[roscoFJ73]

It should be written on the gauge somewhere. I cant imagine it being that high. This confirms it

yeah,that confirms it ,still waiting for delivery off the gauges, because i use the oil pressure light and gauge i have to make an extension because the starter motor is in the way. I had a teflon hose made whit a 90° bend,seems okay,post pictures when done
