Tie both blacks together and ground them.....tie both whites together , pop out your headlight switch and tap into the power wire, this is for gauge illumunation.....for your boost gauge, t-tap into your existing boost gauge line......for your af gauge, tap into the blue w white stripe wire on pass side firewall near selenoid....

instead of tapping into a wire get a fuse tap from auto zone for 5 bucks. it plugs in to your fuse box and adds an extra circuit while protecting your orig cirucit with the orig. fuse.. its really neat. I used it to wire in my boost gauge and radar detector no wires to cut into. I am very picky about splicing into any factory wire..

ground the grounf
tap into the headlight switch and find the illumination wire (use a hot lihgt indicator)

for the boost,
down by the pedals is the vacuum hose. it is a black line about 1/4" diameter.
Gt a "T", cut it, putit back together and plug your into it.

(this is very simple to do.

the hose is right near the pedals, look down there, you thinkn you'll see it, Yup that's it.
it's really the only "hose" down there, you can follow it up to the stock boost gauge or out to the firwall.

Behind your battery, and right of it theres a cover..take it off and you will see a selenoid and 2 harnesses under it...in top harness pick out a red w purple stripe for left bank sensing or a blue w red stripe for right bank sensing.....

Do not run af wire to 02 sensors, you will damage gauge...run it off the control wires mentioned above.......

I don't think so.... Mine has been wired to the O2 sensor for about 2 years now and have had no problem, except I melted the wire once and fixed it with no ill affects.

The wire(s) mentioned by promodlightning are from the PCM and if you make a mistake... well you get my drift.

Keep in mind these AF gauges are nothing more than a light show.

Near the fuse block on drivers side in the cab there is a ground already there. Tap into the fuse block and not the light switch as stated by others.
