Hey all,

Can anyone with the HKS Chrono gauges please tell me how the wiring harness connects? There are 4 main wires that need to be connected for power, but I dont have the installation manual.

Black - Ground obv

Orange - Accessory power?

Red - Constant power?

White - ?

Also, those of you who have installed the gauges, where did you tap power? I have the little connectors to pull power from the fuse box, but Im not sure which ones to connect to.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

 

i believe white is for the back light

 

So white would just vamp off of switched power with the orange then? Do you have the gauges installed yourself?

Im not normally stumped, but im kinda wondering if the gauges are actually working now or not. I bought them used, and I want to find someone who actually has them working so I can very 100% that this is the correct placement for the wires. I know its not rocket science, but damn wtf.

Thanks

 

i dont have them but i have some electrical experience and usually white would be for back light........what kind of gauge is it? boost, afr, etc.?

 

Well its the main harness that goes to the HKS control unit. Its similar to the DEFI setup where the gauges all plug into a central unit, and the unit draws power off a main harness.

I have boost, oil pressure and egt at the moment.

 

If I was home I would take some pics, but unfortunately im at work atm.

 

Black - ground
Red - power (constant or switched)
Orange - switched power
White - backlight (connect this tto your cigaret light to ensur they only light up with your lights.

Have the black & red ones on my 9. Love them!

 

Did you tap into your fuse box for the constant/switched power?

Thanks for the definitive answer, I had a feeling that I had the red/orange correct but had no idea what the white was.

Thanks!
