Indiglo Gauge Problems!

SombreroMan · 08-28-2002

Ok, so I was installing some nice, new indiglo gauges. Well, my hands are a little on the large side (it sure helped when playing basketball) and when I was putting in the fuel and temp. portion i accidentally knocked out the pins that keep the needle from drooping down. I found one of them and popped it back in. Does anyone know if it's possible to buy them? It's not totally necessary, but would be nice.
Part II: The wiring. I don't have a multimeter (yet!) and was wondering which wires to tap into. The blue/white wire is +12V connected to the dimmer... which of those wires is ground? Black is usually GND but there's no black wire... green maybe? I was just wondering if any of you knew for sure. Thanks.
And yes, I was a computer and electrical engineering major.

What colors do you have? Do you still have your installation instructions? If you have a transformer/color switch on the wire, that is most likely the positive. The other wire is the negative.

Here Check this site out. Here are your instructions.

Sorry to hear bout your problem. I installed some indiglo gauges and it was extremely simple. Only 2 wires, ground and power. For you I believe the green is ground. What color wires are there and how many?

I was able to figure it out a while ago...

The problem was that I didn't know which wires to tap into, but I figured everything out and the gauges look great. Thanks for the help guys.
