More like I need help finding a certain wire.. I have already hooked my clock pod up to the clock wires, that was no problem. However, my guages are electric and apparently the clock is a switched source, so whenever I turn my key off my guages don't remember what settings they were at...


ANYWAY

Should I just make up a 12v source from the fusebox or is there a non-switched power source somewhere behind the dash? I'm thinking heater controls... something. Or am I just not hooking it up to the clock correctly? Shouldn't the clock have an always on source since it too needs to stay set?

 

grab a constant hot from the steering column. standby i will get you the color code of the wire

 

the steering column constant 12v is white according to my wire chart. as a precaution please use a multimeter and confirm first before connecting. the wire should be a 10 or 12 guage.

 

Hey thanks, however, according to some guys on Nasioc there should be a 12v constant supply in the clock wires which would make sense since the clock probably needed a constant to stay set. Also, I already planned to use the steering column constant that was hooked up to my stock boost guage for my a-pillar guages, but if I can't find the clock constant wire I will just have to use the other wire for both.

 

i would not use it personally....IMO the wire would be to thin (18-22 guage) and the clock is probably only fused at about 5 to 15 amp fuse. i would tapped the steering column one and run an in line fuse like a 10-15 amp. that way you have a dedicated line for your guages.

 

Look on the opposite side of the clock pod where the harness plugs in. If you plan on using those wires, there is a guide to what wires are what.

 

Yeah, everyone is telling me to do that lol. Except I don't have my clock anymore! So that doesn't help me much. Pretty sure I have it all figured out though but I will let you guys know once I get home and tinker with it a little.
