Jono.m New Member 1 Member For: 5y 8m 10d Posted 08/08/18 08:57 AM Share Posted 08/08/18 08:57 AM Hey guys I’m installing my saas boost guage above the icc in my 2008 FG Ute,I’ve connected it to the BOV line and it all works well but the problem I’m having is struggling to find the wires to connect the white, black and orange wires to from the guage to the car to get the guage to light up, I’ve tried a few above the icc and none seem to work was wondering if anyone has done this before and could tell me the exact wires and where they are, photos too if you have them. cheers!

I'm planning to run a pair of wires under the dash and use the ground point at the fuse box and one of those add a circuit things so I don't need to cut any factory wiring (I just prefer doing it that way)https://www.narva.com.au/categories/electrical/fuses_accessories/fuse_holders/add_a_circuitI'm not worrying about dimming at this stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
