I ahve a 2003 eclipse gt. I am going to add 3 gauges and I am wondering where I should connect electrically. Should I get some fuse taps and tap the fuses in the side panel on the dash? or should I run a new wire from the battery to the a-pillar? If I do tap the fuses shoul it be 1 tap fuse per gauge? The gauges are voltmeter, oil pressure and temp.
Any help or link swould be appreciated.

 

if you have to ask if whether or not you should run a 12v constant wire to your guages, I recomend taking it to a professional.

 

I'm sorry I wasn't clear. It wasn't a constant run from the battery but a new line to a switched fuse block located under the dash. I was just wondering if tapping the fuse box for 3 gauges is a good idea or if a separate run is required.

 

if it were me, i'd just go straight to the ignition harness for your ignition/ACC wire (whatever it is the guage says to tap into). I try to stay away from the fuse box if at all possible, it just makes for a cleaner looking install.

 

yeah lil evo's right usually you tap into the ignition wires, which is why when you turn the key the gauges come on

 

and trying to wire into the fusebox is gunna give you more headaches then you need
