hey man, im not 100% sure but this is what happens often with JDM gauges… black/yellow -specific for each gauge, usually go to the designated sensor… red- power brown/green - ususally ground, or they will be refered to as " earth" by some asian install manuals… hope that helps ! ---

Check the back of the gauge to see what it says for each lead? For example, on the Autometer gauges, on the back it will show “I”, “Gnd”, “S” I = Ignition (12v switch) Gnd = Ground S = signal ---

thanks gonad all the wires are hooked up to a harness that plugs into the back of the gauge. to find these codes, do i just pull the wire from the harness? or am i looking somewhere else, i dont want to damage the harness connection in any way. and one more questions guys, for the water temp and oil temp sensors, they run two wires, one white and one red? again, any ideas for these two? ill post pics tonight hopefully, if not tommarow. ---

good luck getting info from blitz (UK-FYI) I tried to get info for my turbo timer, and they basically said “how can they be sure they are not helping the black market of stolen parts” I offered to send photos, and lengthy explaination that it was in teh glove box of my 1/2 cut etc. but they wouldn’t help… ---

Some guages have a wire for a dimmer, if you don’t want to go through the wiring to do the dimmer you can just splice the dimmer wire into the power wire and then run them to a dedicated power source. I don’t know much about the blitz guages so I dunno if this would apply here. ---

so i just got off the phone with blitz usa and he suggested connecting black to ground, red to power, and yellow to another constant power light radio, he seems to think the yellow is for backlight. this still leaves the brown which he had no idea about. he was saying he wasnt sure because blitz usa never issued the gauges i have. any more input? ---

Wouldn’t brown go to the sensor then? Since the 3 he told you about don’t include the sensor. ---
