Pillar gauge wiring.
« on: October 16, 2008, 10:59:30 PM »

Just got my gauges in for my pillar pod from Glowshift, Which btw were very good, amazingly fast shipping.

I am wondering whats the easiest way to wire them? I have the oil pressure and volt gauge.

I really don't have much of a problem wiring them but don't know where to wire the dimmer, (I don't want to go to the cig lighter either). I have my dash glow gauges wired to the red/yellow behind the cluster wire to turn on with my headlights but they have their own dimmer built in that I can adjust manually. The pillar gauges don't have a built in dimmer and I dont want them blaring in my face at night so I would like to find out how to wire them to dim down with the factory dash lights/hvac.

Wire them into the dimmer switch in the dash.

Wire them into the dimmer switch in the dash.

It will work if I just tap into that? Thats the spinning dimming nob behind the left side of the steering wheel your talking about right?

Also how do I get in there? Should I look into the dash removal thread? lol

I'd have to go look for the removal bit.  But it worked on two other cars I did it on so Yeah it should work on yours.  Unless you mess it up  Wink  You should be able to get by with removing just the lower dash and working upside down, but that's just a guess.

Remove the lower dash panel and then you will be able to reach up and unplug the harness to the switch. Then you can tap into them easily.

I thought I would also have to take the top of the dash off to fish the wiring from the pillar through there.

Nah, just fish the wires through next to the dash. There's plenty of room between the dash and pillar for wires to go through.

Is a daisy chain power wire harness just a plug-in to connect it to the factory existing guage in the vehicle?


Edit: oh wait I get, connect the gauges through that instead of wiring them all separately to the battery.  (brain fart) ... ugh Idiot!  Lips sealed
