How to connect additional devices

Modern cars are equipped with the most important devices for adequate management. However, there are cases when this is not enough: the driver wants to see more accurate data or own additional information about the state of the machine systems. And then do not do without alternative meters. Such devices like a tachometer, pressure gauge, a thermometer, a voltmeter, you need to competently place and connect, and it is possible to do it yourself.

Optimally tuning a car interior with three additional devices. The most common combination is the oil pressure meter, oil temperature and on-board voltage. These sensors can be simply screwed up with self-draws, but more aesthetically mounted them into the dashboard or front rack. The last option, the rack is convenient and functionally. To do this, you do not need to get rid of ventilation grilles or redo the panel.

We study the instructions of the instruments, reserve the necessary tools. To make the end result, you can certainly draw sketches. So we can see a complete picture in advance and, if necessary, make edits to the idea.

Remove the facing of the front rack. Most often it is attached to several screws, but access to the latter is not so simple: they are hidden behind the doorway sealant. Working on this site, should be particularly careful, since the sensors of the anti-theft system are in the same place, it is impossible to damage them.

We skip inside the wires of the devices. It is convenient to skip them through the sleeve, where the speedometer rope is located. We connect the wires of freelance devices to stationary.

Now connect the backlight. We include overall lights and with the help of the tester we find those wires that connect the actual dimensions and the front panel. It should be for the highlighting wires from alternative meters. Some doparbors are equipped with two-color backlit. In this case, we connect white to the lighting in the daytime (connect to the ignition lock), and the red is in the night (connect to the wire oven).

Connecting additional appliances, follow the elementary safety equipment, so as not to harm the car and do not spoil new equipment. Before working with an electrician, disconnect the battery, use only high-quality wires and appliances. And if you are not familiar with the automotive wiring device, to trust the procedure to masters.
