The gauges are in and they are hot. Only issue is that they requier a switchable power source for the night lights. Use to be that you could use the headlight fuse to tap into, well turns out the left and right low beam fuses (#'s 7 & 8) are an ignition on 12v Anyone now what I can use for a switchable 12v source? For now I have the constant 12v (memory) feeding off foglamp fuse (#21), accessory 12v (power up) feeding off wiper relay and fuse (#45). All fuse numbers are from the passenger side kickpanel. SO for now he lights are red all the time until I get a switchable source.

Used a sandwich adapter for the oil temp and pressure sender units.

Routed the wires for these through the sound tube, it served as a perfect conduit

Here is the final product, still need to figure out where to get a switchable 12v source

Any one?

I'm thinking you can maybe use the illumination feed going to the hvac controller possibly. Unless you just want to use a toggle switch.

I'll look into this.

Gonna take a schematic to find the wire or a bit of testing. Just be careful if testing with a test light. Should be hot with key off and headlight switch on.

Someone need a scematic?

Or at least a wire color. I forgot you got the ford database.

So I was thinking about this for a bit and came to a realization. When I pull the fog switch it trips the relay causing the power coming from the fuse to close. This means that any wire downstream from the relay is dead until I pull the switch. I wonder if there is a wire by the fuse area after the relay (black), that I can tap into. I took my fogs and taped up the ends so it’s not an issue with the switch, I can even choose to run the gauges while at night if I chose too.
