Alright, so i have a volts gauge and a oil pressure gauge. And i have no idea how to install them can anybody explain how to do this. or should i have someone help me. or should i have it done.
I have a A pillar pod. i just need them wired and so on...
Full Version: Gauge Installation
the oil pressure gauge i havent done but i no that you have to replace your oem sending unit with an aftermarket one that came with teh gauge most of the time and throughly check and fasten the lines the oil is traveling through to make shure no leaks
and the volt just run a line from the - terminal through a ground or just ground it to a wire going to the - terminal on the gauge, then run + signal wire from the battery ( best bet is through fuse box for safety) to the other terminal on the gauge
for lighting on the gauges its probably just like every other gauge and having to run more signald wires through a switch or through ignition to get your blinging light show
maybe if your lucky the gauge will automatically illuminate through the signals to the terminals on the gauge

Ive done both in my zx2. Both are cyberdyne electronic gauges.
I replaced the stock sensor(actually a trigger) The car does not need it and it wont throw a code or anything if its not there. I ran the wire into the cabint o my gauge. The oil pressure unit also had a power, ground, and illuminate wire. I ran the power and ground to headunit wiring harness and the illuminate wire to the dimm wire on my headunit harness as well.
Volt was just power, ground, and illum. Which I ran all to the same as the oil.
Basically what the illum does on the cyberdyne is when your headlights are on it dimms them so it doesnt effect your line of site. It also is the default switch. If you turn the car on with the headlights already on it will tell you what your last runs high oil pressure/volt and low oil pressure/volt was.
Other zx2 is getting quite a few extra gauges. EGT pyrometer, wideband AF, Volt, Oil Press, Air Temp, and Boost/Vacuum
