Autometer electrical boost gauge wiring Hey guys, my Autometer electrical boost gauge says the power must come off of a switched circuit which does not drop off during engine start. Best as I can determine no circuit in my fuse panel is like that. Where did everyone take power for theirs?
Thanks much for any tips!
ps- car is a 2008 G8 GT.

Hey wreckwriter,
I'm glad I read your post. I'm installing Autometer gauges in my car now for a D1SC setup. I'm doing boost, water temp, and fuel pressure. I hadn't read the instructions on the boost gauge and hadn't seen what you're describing, but it's there sure enough.
I'm running a line lock that is hooked to a switched power source, and I had planned on just feeding all the gauges off that source. When I read your post, my heart sank. Luckily, the source doesn't die when the car is cranking. The source is a wire coming out of an ignition relay in the fuse box in the engine bay. You might want to give that a shot.
PM me if you want more info. Obviously, it's not a G8, but I'll give you whatever info I can to help.
