Title: Does anyone have Dash Harness Diagram?
Post by: stc315 on January 16, 2010, 04:40:34 AM
I found the terminal block diagram and engine harness diagram, but I'm looking for the dash harness diagram for ignition, guages, and switchs.
Thanks,
Sam

Heres something I copied from one of Tony's (Jetaholic's) Posts.

Helped me a LOT with Moo! Hope it helps you, Sam.

"So here I will post the marine standard electrical color code for jet boats:

Black - All grounds
Red - Constant hot (all wires that have 12 volts on them regardless of key switch position, "BAT" terminal on key switch)
Purple - Hot In Run (switched hot, controlled by key switch i.e. ignition, gauges, etc, "IGN" terminal on key switch)
White - Hot In Start (runs the starter bendix or aux solenoid)
Light Blue - Oil Pressure Sender; "S" terminal on Oil Pressure gauge
Light Brown or Tan - Water Temperature Sender; "S" terminal on Water Temperature gauge
Grey - Tachometer signal from ignition; "S" terminal on Tachometer
Orange - Bilge Pump hot from switch to pump
Pink - Bilge Blower hot from switch to blower
White/Red - Fuel level sender; "S" terminal on Fuel Level gauge
Yellow - Lights from switch to lights"

Yeah, but it's wrong.... :sly:    ;D

Red=battery+
Black or white=ground
Dark blue= navigation lights
Yellow/red=start safety
Yellow=Start (after safety)
Pink=fuel sender
Purple=ignition
Tan=water temp
Baby blue=Oil pressure
Grey=Tachometer
Orange=Bilge blower
Brown=bilge pump.

If you have an ammeter then a heavy orange will be used from the "out" side of the meter to battery at the engine...

If you have hydraulic trim

Blue/wht.="up"
Green/wht="down"
Red=power

get it? blue sky (up) green grass (down) :sly:


These are actually the marine color codes, this is from memory, so there are probably more colors to decode, but you get the idea...

Never a Dillweed Glenn! EVER!

But it is how I first wired Moo, with some adjustments if I remember correctly.  :sly:

I'm rarely right, just reasonably successful in what I do!

Thanks guys, this should work. My other concern is that I'm converting from Ammeter to Voltmeter. I'm thinking I can use the existing wiring, just change the signal source from alternator??? I can't remember, its been 10 years since the last time I did any major wiring lol.

The best way IMO, is to use one of the larger wires (red or orange) and use it for powering the dash and use the other one for a stereo or whatever.

You will need to attach the alternator to the main lug on the starter to charge the battery.

The voltmeter only has two necessary connections, ignition and ground....With a potential third being the dash light (can be hooked to ignition or nav lights (if applicable) Most don't use them...I make them switched separately because it's hard enough to see at night without gauge lights blaring in  your face...
