Boost Gauge Wiring.

[wrc]

hi guys:
need some advice please.
i have fitted at the moment a auto boost gauge stealth one & the needle vibrates & makes a noise, which i,m not happy about, so i have now bought a NOMAD boost gauge 30 vac & 30 psi
what i need to no is the auto gauge has 3 wires coming from the case, a orange wire, black & red wire, all these go into the pod & into the wiring somewhere down below.
the NOMAD boost gauge has no wires but connecters for spades to fit on, but there are only 2 off these. which wires out of the 3 do i need to use to stick to spades on, so the gauge will be working again, & hopefully without the rattle of the niddle.

thanks steve.

I started with the nomad and changed to a auto guage.

You need a negative and a +12 supply. I'd test with a lamp tester, but I'd test when the ignition is on and when it is off. Find the right two and hey presto.

They may have been wired into the dash light dimmer switch. If so test and adjust this to see if the light dimms.

Hope this helps
Thanks

you need to restrict the flow to the gauge to eliminate / reduce the needlevibration. I had to do this on mine (Autometer)

I presume you used a resistor. CAn you give a rough idea of value??
