where are people taping into dimmer switch wiring.. ie: (color, place, etc)... thanks...

 

seems like it is orange and white... hopes this works for 600 engine... sorry for asking an old question...

 

I believe that you have to tap into a wire in between the BCM and the Dashboard. There is no wiring connection between the Headlight switch and the gauge cluster. The headlight switch tells the BCM what lights you want on and the BCM turns them on. I dont know the exact wire color but on a 2002 Caravan I was working on, all the wires powering up any dash lights(radio, cluster, HVAC controls) were Orange with a different color tracer so Orange and White sounds correct. Good luck!

 

I pulled out my light switch and used a probe to find the wire for the parking lights. I believe it was tan and can't remember the other color. Memory is starting to go . But I tapped into the parking light wire and it works great. I'm running a three gauge pod. No problems.

 

It is the orange wire with a black strip. There are 2 of them! use the one on the bottom. The best thing to do is use a tester to make sure you get the right one. Hope this helps. Jack

 

I connected mine just behind the light switch. Maccandy is correct it is a orange with black tracer wire and there are two of them. i learned the hard way connected to the wrong one the first time. Good luck!

 

thanks man.. don't alway type back and say thanks... I just may put togather a really good pdf file for the 3rd. gen trucks.. it seems this suject keeps coming up... they should just post it at the top of this section as gauge install most questions answered..

 

IF YOU ARE GOING WITH THE IN DASH GAUGE UNIT THEN YOU CAN JUST TAP INTO THE ORANGE AND GREY WIRE OFF OF THE HVAC UNIT. THIS CONTROLS THE LIGHTS ON YOUR HAVAC AND ALSO DIMS WITH THE REST OF THE DASH.

 

that's what I did.
