It draws very little current. You could pretty much pick any ignition switched circuit. Personally, I use the Brn Gauge Feed wire, same as powers all gauges, since that wire is already in the dash harness. Or you could pull from another source like radio, choke, wiper, heater.

My Ron Francis harness had a plug and play voltage connector for the voltage gauge sensor line.

Don't typically make it that far north. But I would love to. Beautiful part of the state and lots of great cruising. We'll see. Some invitation stands here. If you're in the SE area, give me a shout. I enjoy having visitors.

You're right. Need to remember to check the newest version schematic since it looks like everyone is receiving that one now. The connector is on the Brn Gauge Feed wire I recommended in the previous post.
