Water temp installation

[vestax]

i also got the meter aready , i guess the sensor can be placed in my car without doing an adapter . cause my car has a heater which has been blocked by a stopper , so i guess i need to take out the stopper and plug the sensor in there .

anyway im still puzzled with the wiring part , what is grommet ?. do i need to use an 18 gauge wire ? or any wire will do ?.

so reading the diagram , one wire to the sensor , one more need to be ground & last will be the ignition is that correct ?.

grommet is the rubber cover on the firewall...u can see a few grommets on the firewall with opening on it, for wiring loom to go through in to passenger cabin...

do i need to use an 18 gauge wire ? or any wire will do ?.

aiyaa.. i just use ordinary wire...heheh seems ok to me :)

yup...pretty much like that...i just follow the diagram and it works.. B)

cipek sifu vestax.. dunno how to find the ignition wire? :lol: urs is what model? autogauge smoked or d normal wans? smoked gauge will need u connect to the ignition..if the normal wans. u have to use the headlamp 12v powersourse. u can test out the +ve from the fuse box itself mah.

ok2..u can try to use ezwong2002 method which is by tapping wire to the fuse...

but what i did was to tap ignition wire(+) to the ciggie lighter(+) wire...in my case the (+) wire on the ciggie lighter is blue...((-)ground wire is black)

of coz if u look down the steering wheel, i also get confused, which is which...sort of like maggie mee...heheh :P
that's why its easier to just tap the wire at the output equipment, hope this help

 

[vestax]

hold up , now im getting more confuse , do i really need to tap the ignition wire or i can tap any 12v source ?. but the way i see it , i only need 1 wire from the ignition to the meter . if i can tap any 12v source wouldn't it be like 2 wires ( + ) & ( - ) ?.

now i betul betul pening , you tap at the ignition wire or the ciggie lighter wire ?. sorry la , if i ask too many question , i don't really understand . if boost meter all easy la as i only need 12v source .

u see here...
there r 4 terminals and 2 wires(for LAMP, red&black) on the back of the meter....

here's what i did..
1. (+) wire for LAMP tap to any(+) wire for lamp output(in my case i tap to ashtray light)
2. (-) wire for LAMP tap to any(-) wire for lamp output(in my case i tap to ashtray light)
3. (+) or IGNITION terminal, tap to (+) wire of ciggie lighter
4. (-) terminal, tap to black wire of ciggie lighter
5. S, this one just wire up to sensor
6. ground wire on meter holder, just tap to the same black wire of ciggie lighter

hope this help... B)

 

[ezwong2002]

hahaha.. dat stupiak autogauge... always ask ppl to tap to ignition 12v source ler... but actually.. any 12v source will do.. ciggie lighter source from the fuse box is a good choice.
