Ok, i just order my volt gauge this afternoon. I am not worried because its an esay gauge to setup.. however where is the hole in the firewall that i need to run the wire through? If anyone has a picture of where it is and a little step by step on how to get there it would be awesome.
Thanks guys. -Chris. -------------------- "Drive Well...

Wait.. so like i could just tap the wire that my cig liter uses? I mean i'm not sure.. but it doesn't seem right. I want to know what power the battery is putting out, not what power that line is useing.. sorry, correct me if i'm wrong.

I want to know what power the battery is putting out, not what power that line is useing.. sorry, correct me if i'm wrong. all power comes through the battery so you will be getting a correct reading with any 12 volt + wire i would attach it to a 12 volt switched wire so when the key is off the volt meter is off and when you turn the key it gets a reading. -------------------- Is this good enuff 4 ya? :D
