Hi Scott,
The gauge has three terminals, 'S' which takes the signal from the sender(the sender came in the kit), 'G', ground, and 'I', which per the instructions on the kit needs 12 volts ignition on line. The sender only has the one line coming off (S) and is grounded through the threads.
So I need to connect the 'I' line to the black junction line? I guess I thought there would be a place to tie in up in the cabin where the gauge is, in the rats nest of cables.

find the black '15' ignition wire in the junction box by the engine.
That used to go to the 15 terminal on the waterboxer coil.
it's there ...medium size solid black wire.
Your 'ignition on' subaru EFI system fuse should be on that wire, in
that box, if it's a nicely done conversion. Or could be let's say.
you physically connect wires with butt splices, or even wire nuts
..though that is a bit crude.
I often use those until I am sure I like how things are laid out. I
'prototype' a lot of things ..they come out neater in the end that way.
Make it first to test that it works right, then finalize the
installation after that.
Wire nuts ( like from the hardware store ..they are used in house wiring
) are handy for that.

Hi Volks folks,
I'm installing an aftermarket temperature gauge. I have an 84 vanagon
with an ej22 with new stainless steel rmw coolant pipes and a rmw
reversed coolant manifold. The gauge calls for a connection to 12 volt
ignition on. Where is a good place to get this? Fuse 8 is the one that
control accessories, so I guess this is a good node. I just don't know
the best way to physically connect the wire.
Thanks
Dave
