Where are you guy connecting your red(12v) and black(2a) wires? I have two xd-16 and they only gave me 7inches to work with, most likely i'll extend it out. I will have two xd-16's mounted on my steering column with an ATI dual pod. Any clean way to wire these suckers?

 

Nobody!?

 

I ran constant power from my interior fuse panel under the steering column.

 

I'm getting power from my steering column harness. Pop the plastic covers off and you'll see all the wires you need.

 

You can either fuse tap, which doesn't require much work, or you can t-tap into 12v wires.

I used both options....for my Innovate wideband, I t-tapped into the yellow 12-gauge power windows wire. For my Prosport boost gauge, I just fuse tapped (no special tap, I just tucked the exposed part of the wire under the fuse and plugged it in)

It's up to you...look in your manual for a list of 12v fuses that you can tap into.

EDIT: And isn't black the ground wire for you? If you're asking where to ground that, look on the side wall right next to the under-panel fuse box and you'll see 2 or 3 wires already grounded on a bolt in the wall. Unbolt that bolt and tuck in another wire or two and bolt it back in.

 

interior fuse panel will do the job,its what I used myself.

 

Thanks guy! Waiting for 3 more boxes to come in from mapperformance.

 

I am going to be installing some gauges soon as well. I think I am going to go the fuse panel route and use a add-a-circuit.

Does anybody have a fuse panel diagram? what fuse is for what?
The service manual just says fuses Numbers 1-21.

 

nm found it, its in the owners manual duh

 

SHould do you fine!

Good Luck

 

I tapped power from my radio for my gauges. Mitsu wired the factory gauges the same way.

 

you also need to consider that once you turn on your ignition, your gauges should also come on. I did this a few weeks ago and it was a quick install.

 

i taped into the radio wire harness works fine for me
