Not strictly FD related, but I though some people here may have this installed since it matches the FD interior pretty well.

I can't figure out the wiring on this and the manual I have is in Japanese. The gauge has four input wires (pictured below). Black and red are power and orange is backlighting but I can't figure out what the yellow line is for.




Here is a scan of the manual for those who may be able to read Japanese:link.

TIA

 

In stereo colors, yellow is power, red is acc, black is ground, and orange would be the back lighting. Check and see if that works.

Call HKS up - they're VERY friendly and knowledgeable, and I've gotten quick answers to questions like this on older products.

That said, it's most likely similar to the Greddy gauges - hot power, switched power, illumination, and ground. You might be able to find them with process of elimination - hook up ground and give 12v to all 3 wires. One wire, if you remove 12v, should make the illumination go off, etc.

Thanks for the responses. I'll poke at it some more and if that does not work will call HKS.

 

Dale, you and I had the same idea with the colors, ^5. HAHA BTW I GOT MY CAR BACK TODAY! NEW CLUTCH IS AWESOME!
