Title: Do we have in inside fusebox?
Post by: 99Trackerconv on November 19, 2006, 08:40:38 PM
I've tore this thing apart a couple time and don't recall seeing one.

I need to find it so I could wire up my white gauges straight to the fuse instead of through the little controler they give you cause the gauges are acting funny(think its the controller going out)

on my 2001 gv...

if you see the hood release, just follow that path all the way back to the firewall
if you rest your head on the floor, it should be right above the brake

If the voltage regulator is producing the symptoms, maybe the gauges won't be too good working off unregulated voltage either.

All I want them to do is stay bright  >:(

Any Ideas? Right know they are barly lit. Every once and a while they are bright but then go dim again.

If it's illumination, there's only the DRL controller on my wiring diagram, if your truck has DRL.  It feeds of the tail lamp fuse, thru headlamp relay No 2, and comes out on red/yellow wire.  Check the headlamp Relay No 2 for starters.

If you have DRL installed, short across the Green/yellow to the Red/yellow to take the contoller out of circuit, and see if the lamps bright up.

Not my regular gauges,  the white face ones I put on. I have them powered to my radio so they are constantly on. I think the problem is that there always on and weren't made for that. A friend said I might have burnt up the converter. I want to connect them to a headlight wire or a fuse thats on only when the lights are on.

Ok, the tail lamp fuse would do fine for that, but better from headlamp relay No 2.

Are you sure that the white lights will run off the battery volts ok - maybe this "controller" lowers the voltage?

not sure? What would happen if they don't?

You could conceivably blow the lamps.

Well I looked again for the fuses after work and to my amazment there they were!  :o

You must have put them there while I was sleeping!  ;D

I swear I looked there and there weren't any but I must not have had enough light or wasn't at the right angle. I looked up there before and only seen wires and relays but I seen fuses today.
