Yeah I know its just a guage for a light show. I need some one to tell me what wire to tap into for the power. I already tried the head light switch. any one else have any ideas? i need to know the wire color that i need to tap thanks

 

Tap for what your power to power up the gauge or the wire to get the reading?

Any keyed 12 volt soure will work.You could even use the switeched source from your radio.

Be more specific with your question so that i can help you out with a more detailed answer.But most of the time your hot sources are red.The one from the stereo is.The other is yeller but thats constant 12v so its not what you want.Make sure that the gauge goes on and off with the key and its fine.

 

Take out the stereo and find what should be a blue wire that leads to it from the key switch, that is the remote wire that allows the stereo to turn on when the key is turned. if you need more info. let me know.
Hope this helps.

 

I was going to take out the radio but its not like my old 97, I tried taking the trim off around the radio but it sounded like i was going to brake it so i left it alone. is there a screw that is holding the molding around the stereo or do i just need to pop it off?

 

no, just take a thin flat-head screwdriver(might want to wrap with thin cloth to prevent scrathing) and pop one side then the other, the clips that hold it in are tough so alternate sides to make sure you dont break anything. Any more help, just let me know.

 

Pstang you said there is a blue wire on the radio well i found like 4 there isnt one that its solid blue. so which wire do i tap?and is it on the small wire clip or the large. thanks for the help

 

blue wire my bum, but then again newer stang may be diff then my old beater, heres what u can do, go get a light tester, clip the gator end to ground source, turn the car off all the way, hit the yellow wire and red, then turn the key on, which ever one is off then on, tap that one, or just tap the yellow and put a hook up a switch to your gauge.

Just test them for power, on my car there is a solid blue but scince there's no solid on yours just test the blues on the large clip, let me know if it works.

 

Well I tested every blue wire just for the record 04 GT's you need to tap into a black with pink stripe wire on the big clip of the radio. Thanks for the info guys...
