Hello,


Recently purchased a car, had the centre console but none of it is wired in, is there a loom I can buy or anyone know what I need to do to get it working?

thanks in advance

If you are talking the Oil temp, Oil pressure and battery charge.

You will need the following.
An Oil Pressure/low pressure sender on the side of the head.

You will ned to run your wires from the original sender to  the lp side of the can sender.  Then run a wire from the pressure side to the gauge.

You will need to run a wire from a switched source to the amp gauge.

You will need to run a oil temp sender off the oil filter flange (black pin head) to the oil temp gauge.

You will need the 12V switched source and a ground

Lastly you would need to run a separate ground/power from the Cigarette Lighter Light to the lamps on the gauges.

If you have a Bentley or a Haynes, look in the GTI section , but I took a screen shot of the way they are installed in my Cabriolet.  A few spools of wire and some connectors (insulated) will do just fine, and you can use the wire loom cover to hide it rather nicely, or buy black vinyl tubing to run it in.

They all start with GOOD Grounds.
