Tranny temp guage question!?

Nice job. Love all the pictures. Yep wire hangers work great as fish tape, been using safety wire lately because I can fit it through really tight spaces.

The ground and positive from the sender/probe taped to the wire hanger:

The 12 AWG wire with the 30 amp blade-style fuse directly from the battery to the terminal block:

As it goes straight to the jumper wires at the terminal block:

Both 'A' pillar 'oh snap bar' screws were put on by Hercules and I was unable to remove them:

The holes drilled:

The wire hanger coming down the 'A' pillar:

The power switch complete and waiting for a home. I used a 4 amp AG style fuse like autometer recommends in the instructions:

The 6 wires bundled onto the wire hanger ready for the drag into the 'A' pillar:

The other end of the hanger:

All connections made:

I'm curious as to why you installed a power switch to the gauge as opposed to getting your power feed from an ignition/accessory wire tap?

I wanted the option of having it on or off.

Those looking for a second reading, how about getting another sending unit and put them both on a rocker switch to flip between signals? That way you only need one gauge.

That's exactly what I'm doing. Already got all the hardware, I should be doing the full install in the next few weeks.

Right now I'm just chipping away at getting my Gauge wired up and ready to hook up to the senders when the cooler goes in.

All I'm missing is an On/On toggle switch.
