You won't want the gauge on at all times, so wiring it to the ignition wire at the radio would be better. I doubt it's really seeing 5V with the key off, but just to check you might want to get out a voltmeter, it should read zero.
Mitsubishi Volt Gauge - should it read voltage with ignition off?
Hi,
Just fitted some Mitsubishi Triple Gauges in my E6. However, I'm not sure if the Volt Gauge is wired in correct. When wired to the ignition the needle is midway between 0 - 10 volts. If I connect to battery connection on stereo loom it reads 12volts (car turned off) going up to 14 volts when car is started (turned on).
Which is the correct way please
Cheers :thumbup:

it should be on zero with the ignition set to off
hows the search for the sender going?

Exactly that, though I found an ignition source it was the wrong one. All sorted now - thanks for the reply :thumbup:
If only the person who installed the stereo didn't chop off the white loom plug it would have all been very easy. I therefore had to cut the white plugs of my gauge cables and of course got the problem of marrying up the right wires :wallbang:

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I did manage to get an Oil Temp sensor in the end but had to buy a complete set of gauges off somebody. In the process also ended up with a 1.5bar boost gauge so all's well in the end (proving the sensor works :lol.
Once I'm happy that all the gauges work (only wired in Volt Gauge so far) I will be selling off a spare set of gauges. I'll probably try and extend all the wires on the surplus gauges now that I have a spare set of white loom plugs
All the best :smthumbup
