How to install volt guage in car




















I am thinking you have a bad battery in the batch not carrying its weight in the pack…. Lynn — How do you have it wired? Properly it should go to the ignition switch terminal that is switched on position so when the cart is on and in use the meter shows charge status. But if not in use switched off it will be off as well. Bob — Sounds like they wired the meter direct.

You should have a positive, negative and a control terminal on the gauge. Alot of people do this as it is easier and takes half the time. I have a meter gauge installed on me 90 model ezgo when I hook it to positive an neg the light comes on before I hook it the switch an when I hook it to the switch it does not turn off know mater which wire I hook it too help.

Pete, I bought the Analog Meter. Do I just connect to the battery terminals because there is no third wire to the switch? This would have the meter on all the time. Would that be a problem? Joe — Thank you for your purchase and question…. Pete, I replaced a 48v Curtis Meter with a cheaper Chinese model. I swapped the wires in the exact order of the original also paying attention to the terminal numbers. The meter correctly displays the battery level but it stays on all the time. The difference between the two meters is the new one has a diode connecting terminals 1 and 4?

Not sure why. The key switch is plugged into terminal 4. Or is 14 gauge wire the same whether for speaker use or this meter hookup? Your email address will not be published. Table of Contents. Rodney L Carlson. Luis Deleon. There are 4 point which you need to connect with battery source. The two wires on top of the picture which usually ready made on the meter is for meter lighting power source. Then you can put the meter into the meter holder.

Picture above shows boost meter with long tube. That is for boost meter and vacuum meter only. Connect the two wires to the power source battery or other source that you want to use as lighting for the meter and other two red and black wire to your battery for batter volt or ampere reading. After all wire connection done, secure it with electrical tape properly and you can test the meter. All car electric device are totally safe. Just replace the fuse, do the right connection according to diagram and test it again.

Set the mounting bracket in place and mark the mounting holes using a marking pen. Drill the mounting holes using an electric drill. If you are mounting the gauge under the dashboard, use a drill bit smaller than the mounting screws you will be using to help the gauge bracket hold better to the board.

Lay out the black ground wire between the gauge and a good ground under the dashboard--a metal surface from the dashboard or an existing bracket. Route the wire following a suitable harness under the dashboard if possible. Decide the approximate length of wire you will need, and give yourself a few extra inches to play with.

Cut the ground wire and hook one end to the ground connector on the volt gauge; then route the wire toward the ground you decided on in Step 6. Thread the wire under cable ties already in place under the dashboard, or use your own cable ties to secure the ground wire to an existing harness. Connect the other end of the wire to ground.

Lay out the red power wire between the volt gauge and the power source. You can choose any suitable accessory wire under the dashboard as long as it is hot--has voltage--only when the ignition switch is turned to the 'On' position. The red power wires for the radio and blower motor are good choices. Route the volt gauge wire as you did with the ground wire in Step 6, and decide the length you will need.

Cut the red wire to the appropriate length, and hook one end to the power connector on the volt gauge. Route the wire following the procedure in Step 7, and hook the other end of the wire to the power source. Wrap the connection to the power source with electrical tape. Search for:.
