Hey guys what is a good 12v power source to run gauges? I am planning on runing three gauges. Thanks

Use the wiring for the factory clock.

Or if you into electrical wiring, run a dedicated power line from the battery, and use a relay with the clock being the igniton trigger to turn the power onto the gauges. Don't forget to put an inline fuse for each gauge incase you short things out later. Don't wanna blow those expensive gauges.

Thanks whiteblazze. Do you think you can send me a diagram of how to wire in a dedicated line please?

Hey whiteblazze thanks for the diagram. Can you tell me why my guage say's on when I use the clock wire for a 12v source?

"stays on" or "say's on" (no clue what that is). Perhaps you hooked it up to the wrong source.

The clock has always on, ign, and light. You need to hook it up to ign if you want it to come on when the key is in.

opps I meant to say that it "stays" on. I used the big red wire on the clock. Can you tell which wire on the clock I need please? Thanks
