Ignition on wire color.

[toyman]

Like Punisher302 I also will be installing gauges this weekend. However, I need to run a wire to the ignition cuircuit that is on even while starting and a wire to the accessory side as well. Does anyone have the wire colors?. BTW for illumination I'm told that there is a parking light wire (brown?) available behind the drivers side kick panel. Anyone know for sure? I can't use a dimmed circuit as the illumination lights are LED's. I'm also guessing that the parking light wire is available at the light switch.

And you're correct about brown being the undimmed portion of the parking light circuit.

If I'm reading that right it appears that I1 T/W (tan/white?) is the correct wire.

I think I'd use A, A3 or A4. I wouldn't put anthing extra on with the starter.

I'd also use T/W if you need it functional during cranking and running.

There will not be a burden on the starter circuit (this wire is only for triggering the slave relay for the solenoid)

It's my understanding that the opening ceremony requires power while cranking. Even if this is not required I don't foresee a problem using T/W.

Yes it should be tan with white.. also known as ignition because it doesn't die while cranking... This wire will work fine to power your gauges without any additional relays.. It should be 12 gauge..

Task completed this afternoon and everything works as it should . Probably the smartest thing I did today was to remove the driver's seat before starting . It definitely makes access infinitely more pleasureable .
