Posi-Tap Size for Gauges

[HedonismBot]

The farkle bug crawled up somewhere last night I think. :yikes:

I've already disconnected my analog gauges but planning on putting in a 12-volt power on the left along with a volt gauge on the right. I think I'm good to go about what to do but not sure what gauge posi-taps I should get for the power outlet and the volt meter. Any help would be appreciated

Yellow (10-12 gauge)
Blue (14-16)
Black (12-18)
Red (20-22)

The lighting wires there are 18 ga or 20 ga, I'm not sure which. I want to caution you against using thise wires to drive a power outlet. They are not heavy enough and are not separately fused to protect them. If you do use them, I'd feed the outlet with a 3 amp fuse or smaller. Be aware also, that the gauge grounds go through the cluster. I'd run separate grounds for both applications.

I had planned on doing an inline 3AMP fuse for both application. This is really only for my GPS. I don't plan on putting anything like heated gloves or a vest through it. In my case, would you think I am okay?

Not familiar with your GPS or its power needs. It is probably OK. I'd still run separate grounds.
