    Need To Know Power Wire

    Hey guys
    im hooking up my after market temp gauge on the E30

    I have my ground and sensor wire set up but where can I tap in to a switched ignition power wire?!?!?!?!!?
    I was thinking a wire from the ignition switch ( where keys goes in) so when it turns to acces, or run, the gauge will start working, but which color wire is it!!!!!
    I need to know asap, because tis getting dark here!!!!

    Thanks you ahead of time!
    -Jon

    I'm not sure of the color, but use a test light and figure it out. Should take <2 min.

      I dont have a test light ( stupid me ) But I do have a multimeter!
      What do I do, just check each wire when I have it turned to run and see which one has power?
