Hi, does anyone have the indiglo gauge installation instruction? I bought a used one and it didn't come with instructions. I checked here and on scoobymods but couldn't come up with any hits.

TIA

u take off the trim around the gauge cluster by unscrewing the 2 screws at the top, then there are some screws that hold the actual gauge cluster in, take those off then the whole cluster will come out. Then to take the top clear plastic part off the cluster there are a couple of clips (and maybe screws) take those off and pull the clear plastic off then slide the gauge faces OVER the needles ( DO NOT TAKE OFF THE NEEDLES). Then hook up the power (Red wire) to the parking light switch and ground the black wire.

do you have more info on how to connect the power to the parking switch?

Thanks,

hmm, Im not sure, I might be able to find out for u though, I think its the white wire, but test it first.

I guess my first problem is that I am not sure which is the parking switch. Is it the smaller one in the pic? The pic was taken from underneath the steering column. If so, then I guess the power is the white/red cable. So I should just cut some plastic off of that cable, solder the red cable from the gauge onto the white/red one, electrical tape it and ground the black one and put everything back together right?

I should've taken school more seriously...

Thanks Zoeb!

 

I wouldn't tap the white/red wire as that is probably an ignition wire and u dont want these on constantly.

Get a test light or a multi meter and test it by turning your headlights on and off till you find the correct wire.

K after talkin to a couple of people for you I learned that their should be a source at the cluster itself so check the wires that are going INTO the cluster.

Zoeb,

Thanks a ton man, I got it to work! Basically, I followed your instructions, but I tapped the power from the Cruise Control connector. It's the plug that plugs into the Cruise Control button. Wire #5 and mine is purple.

Thanks again for all your help!

Regards,

Johnny

 

Cool, glad to see you got it to work.

Now post pics!

There is a 10mm bolt that's right in the middle. I am assuming you took the lower panel thingy off underneath the cluster. If you did, then you can't miss it. I also cable-tied the power inverter behind that bolt. There is an area that fits it perfectly. But you can ground that off on any metal part.

 

I just taped the switch inside the fuse box cover because once I settled my color and my brightness, I don't think I will ever mess with it. Even if I did want to change it, all I do is open up the fuse box cover and change it. But now I want to tape it on the outside, using one of the extra slots next to the CC button. I think I'd file the button cover's top part just slightly so the switch cable could be routed through. Just a thought. Good luck man and like what people say, take your time sliding the gauge on and don't take off the needles.
