Ok so i just got my face guages in from Ebay and attempted at puttin it all together. Everything went well up until the wiring part :(

One of the connectors that connect the guage panel and the power had two wires fallen out.. im not sure how to get them back in the connector box they fell out of. I got them in but i dont think they are in like they should be since i cant crimp the plastic box :p

Which wires go to which when you are tappin into the center counsol light. The center counsol light has a gray and black wire, the guagues power wires have a red/black and a black, i put black with black and red with gray is that right?

so those are the two reasons i think that i cant get the guages to light up jus not sure which one.

if anyone can help it be great
sorry i don have pics of the problem, i will try and do that tomorrow

thanks

as for the wire falling out, you can put a little glue on the back of the harness, to hold the wire in place. just be sure it doesn't drip down further to prevent a connection.

and yes, all the accessory lights are powered by gray wires. (careful, don't read that as all gray wires are accessory light power) if it connects to a bulb.... and is gray, its the power wire. It will only turn on when your headlights click on and drl's kick off.

does anyone know which wire is the power cord and the ground cord from the two wires comin from the face guages?
there is a red wire and a red/black wire..

as for the two wires that had fallen out, i jus cut that connector out and spliced the wire to the next connector since they had extra connectors.

i tried to splice the center consoul light to the guages wires but still nothin lit up

lol cant believe im havin this much trouble

thanks guys
