    Boost Gauge Wire Help

    I've bought a boost gauge from a member on another forum.

    Its a Auto Gauge boost gauge, it has 4 wire coming from it, 1 Black, 1 Purple, 1 Orange & 1 Yellow.

    Can anyone help with telling me what each wire is for?

    I'm guessing,

    Black = earth
    Yellow = power
    Purple = ?
    Orange = ?

    But I might be wrong with that.

    Ok the likelyhood is...
    black = ground
    yellow = control (ignition on, gauge on)
    one of the other two would be to light the face and or needle when you turn the lights on.

    With mine, I just twisted all the wires that weren't black together and attached them to live
