    Question Autometer electrical boost gauge wiring

    My Autometer electrical boost gauge says the power must come off of a switched circuit which does not drop off during engine start. Best as I can determine no circuit in my fuse panel is like that. Anyone have any ideas?

    There might be a blank spot in the fuse box for key on power. If not you may have to tap a wire on the ignition switch.

    The blanks are no good, already tested them and they all drop.

    Best way to access ignition wires?

    Let me see if I can find the starter circuit. Fuse 39 is the ignition circuit.

    39? That's under hood I guess. I'd rather tap a wire than try to get more wires to the engine compartment.

    Look here. These circuits should be active during start and after.
    I can get you a larger image I guess.

    Thanks Ray. Those fuses are all outside cabin though, think I need to tap a wire.

    I had a nightmare day yesterday pulling and splicing wires

    Thanks!

    Pin 1 is pink, that must be the wire Panther was talking about.

    I guess this connector is inside the column?
