Bit of wiring help

[McFall1984]

I'm baffled

Got this 60mm gauge here

Wiring is baffling
I'm stuck

Anyone any ideas were I'm to wire these?

Black earth
Red live
White signal

There's more than 3 wires lol

4 wires from the gauge
Red
Black
White
Yellow

2 to the sensor
Red
Black

3 from the sensor
Red
Black
White

But got it sorted for now

 

[deanmac]

the sensor wiring

red from sensor ------- +12v
white from sensor------red on centre plug on gauge
black on sensor--------black on centre plug on gauge

other 4 pin plug on gauge

red-------+12v
Black-----0v ground
the white and yellow change the colour of display by connecting them to 12v

 

[McFall1984]

the sensor wiring

red from sensor ------- +12v
white from sensor------red on centre plug on gauge
black on sensor--------red on centre plug on gauge

other plug on gauge

red-------+12v
Black-----0v ground
the white and yellow change the colour of display by connecting them to 12v

Trial fitted there

4 on the gauge
Red to +
Black to -
White to +
Yellow to +

White an yellow are for lights

Sensor wiring
Red to red on middle plug on gauge
Black to black middle plug on gauge
White left unplugged

It lite up but haven't got the sensor piped into the inlet yet

 

[deanmac]

just edited correct now

you have a clone defi gauge from china.

I have one here on my desk

the gauge will not go to zero or work when you have it wired like this. As there is no power going to sensor.
when you connect red sensor wire to +12v and white sensor wire to red and black to black.
The gauge will go to zero instead of -1

 

[McFall1984]

So white goes to red to get it going?
We're as I had white plugged nowhere

Just as we'll I got it for next to nothing lol

 

[deanmac]

Chinese are sh*ts for cloning stuff, but it is cheep :awesome:

Yea but they'll do for now

 

[McFall1984]

so can someone run through all the wiring so i can get this wired tomorrow

 

[deanmac]

was that not in the post I did earlier

 

[McFall1984]

aye but i mean wire for wire
ive this and an oil pressure gauge to wire

just wanna do it right 1st go lol

+ any were to fit the wires through the bulkhead?

 

[McFall1984]

Ok wired the boost gauge up tonight there

Gauge
red to +
Black to -
Yellow to dimmer on radio
White to +

Red on sensor to +
Black on sensor to -
White on sensor in with red +

Gauge reading -1

When cars running it doesn't move from -1
I've tee'd into the hose coming from the front centre of the inlet, same one goes to the dump valve

Any help?

I did explain this several times in previous post

red from sensor ------- +12v
white from sensor------red on centre plug on gauge
black on sensor--------black on centre plug on gauge

gauge will then go through opening ceremony and go to zero instead of -1

yea sorry i worded that wrong

what i've done

4 wires on gauge itself ( red, black, yellow + white )
red to switched live ( red from radio )
black to -( radio again )
yellow to dimmer ( radio dimmer )
white to switched live ( again radio red )

middle plug on gauge
red goes to sensor in engine bay
black goes to sensor engine bay

sensor in engine bay
red connected to red from centre plug on gauge
black connected to black from centre plug on gauge
white connected to red ( tee'd into red on same gauge ) centre plug on gauge

 

[deanmac]

That is still not the same as I explained :shock:

look again:wtf:

So red in the sensor goes to a switched live
White goes into the red on centre plug
Black to black on centre plug?

Sorry matey I always thought its matched up to the colours
I'll give that ago when im at the Evo next
