To power new dash instrument panel I need a always hot wire and an accessory power wire. The accessory I'm using is from the existing dash wire harness (pink). As far as I can tell, there is no always hot on that harness. So I'm grabbing from fuse box. I was going to put a fuse tap on the Hazards fuse. Now, is that what is best to use? And, I will be testing with an electrical meter, but does anybody know ahead of time which side of the fuse is power in, power out (need to put tap on out - fused side).

If I get to this today, dash will be back in, heater/AC all re-connected, and - fingers crossed - center console working. I'll put in picture later tonight or tomorrow.

And, as long as I have an experts attention, the dash instrument panel I bought wants sender and ground from fuel tank. Existing wires in harness are pink (power), black (ground) and tan, which I'm assuming is sender. Sound right?

 

IDK if 2nd Gen's have it, but there may be a BATTERY spade on fuse panel? Use this spade if present.
Tan wire does go to sending unit and it has a ground back by the tank up in front.

 

sorry, what's a spade?

 

The 1/4 inch wide male pin.= pull out a modern fuse, ATC, and see the two males pins, each one is a spade.

 

thanks, found the spades.
