Need a + wire for clinometer light
I have one of the cheapo clinometer (land meter) I need a positive wire for the light that will run off the headlights.
Is there any in or around dash compartment,I dont want to run it to the fuse box.
Im planing on removing the swivel base and than velcro it to the top of the mirror (flush to top) than just running the wire along headliner and down the piller to the dash.The wire is thin so it should just stick in without any removal of piller.
When offroading I will have to square off and level the mirror,I wont be able to see out it at that angle(cant see out it too good anyway  )
I can always use the rear cam to see behind me

Re: Need a + wire for clinometer light
Why run it off the headlights, easiest would be to pick up the hot wire in the A-pillar and light it all the time.

What wire would work that goes off the key ?
will any of the cluster wire's work ?
not a big deal to run the wire to them.

the gray wire on the I/P connector (location B4) is the illumination wire from the BCM and should work. But i always try not to tap into any wires from the BCM if possible. It is the BCM supply voltage. Probably not a highly monitored circuit, so a few extra low amp bulbs should be ok.
The larger yellow wire running up the A-pillar is a RAP circuit wire for your sunroof module.

Re: Need a + wire for clinometer light
I don't have any tips, but just wondering where you got the clinometer? I have seen a couple that just do rolling angle.
