The defi gauges require B+ and B+ after ignition. The B+ I can get from the lighter, but not sure where a good B+ after ignition would be.

Default There are several spots under the driver's side lower dash...

You can grab constant power from there too, if you want to make it an easy, tidy run for your wires.

Default OK, thanks, I did find this on Jeff's site. The yellow is switched power.....

I guess I can tap into that, all wires will be fused.

Default B+ after ignition..... meaning switched 12 volts?

under the dash in the drivers footwell...
remove the lower cover
look for voltage distribution, you'll find a post or stud marked "75X" (the yellow label on the left, in your picture below)

it's "switched 12" with an "unloader" function

unloader means "not there" during engine cranking...

12v is present at 75X after the engine starts... until the ignition is switched off


(I used it for daytime running lights)
