<P>When I installed my oil pressure gauge I just took a test lite to the fuse box and found the proper circuit that gave power when I needed it. For example "back lite " for gauge should be on headlite circuit.&nbsp;Ignition power is also found on fuse panel.&nbsp;Then look at back of panel and tap into wire. Or be lazy like me and just put wire in with fuse (this is not recomended and can cause that fuse station to cut out intermitantly).&nbsp;I plan to fix mine when I have more time! Good luck.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hello van heads...
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;When I'm running power to my new dash guages, where should I draw it
<DIV></DIV>&gt;from? Also, for drawing power for the guage back lamps, can I run power
<DIV></DIV>&gt;from the wires that run to the heater control back lamp? Will I blow
<DIV></DIV>&gt;any fuses doing this?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;thanks folks,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Greg.
