You should be able to get a constant 12 volt source from one of the fused spots in the fuse box on the side of the dash or you can run a wire up to the battery. 12v dash lighting will be the green wire coming out the plug harness that goes into the back of the light switch.

You don't really want it on a non-switched power source, it becomes a drain at that point...

If it's 50 lbs off, try checking it with another bottle.. make sure it's not the bottle ga that's off.

If it's still off... I'd return/ditch it. 50 lbs of bottle pressure is enough to effect a tuneup some, depending on how much you're spraying and how close your tuneup is.
