    Had a 2002 DC, now a 2004 DC.
    Thank you for the quick reply! I should clarify my question--I would like it to run like the outlet does; when the power is on, the gauge works.

    4 run, 2 don't
    I recall one of my outlets running when the accessories were turned on via ignition. I'm sure you can achieve what you're wanting to do by tying into the correct outlet.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Depending on the current draw of the gauge .

    Tap off the Radio Fuse that will give you switched power.

    That works with the ignition switch in run or accessories.

    Always use a inline fuse.

    It can draw 4-28v. Pretty flexible. I think that I got it in okay. I am going to clean things up here in a bit and I will try to get a picture up.

    Thank you for the help, guys.
