I used to use my trip gauge all the time so i could calculate fuel mileage...I will just write down fill up mileage on the car until someone figures out how to make it work with the gauge sweep...would it be possible to have the trip wire connected to the constant without anything else?

That's what the orange wire does. I'm toying around with ideal of getting some diodes, and a 9volt battery. Just enough power to keep memory

i just wired it the sunroof fuse for the power source to the Orange wire. works fine... could be the difference between your 01 and my 03. I know there gauge pods arent interchangeable.

Could you explain how you did this by any chance?
did you use a fuse tap? Those tend to worry me...have heard bad things about them long term?
I'd love to do this if there was no drawback :d

I dont have a sunroof either but the fuseholder still has power. I took a 5 fuse and cut ad sodered it to one side so it would still be fused.

i have a 99 alero GL
i wanna find out what wire light up the gauges when the lights are turned on, i have reverse glow gauges in, but ones the cars turned on they come on because i didnt know what wire on the cluster was for the light so i just ran it to the ignition power on the cd player

Most of this type of thing has been covered, the search button can find most things that you need...it may not be for the cluster wires, however it is how most people do it

orange is the constant power...you are just rewiring it so that both are switched power...ideally to have everything work you would have to find a way to have a small amount of current go through to remember the trip data, but not enough for it to not sweep

just for a quick rundown... you take the gauge cluster out, get the orange wire, and either tie it into the purple one, or extend it into the fuse of something, say... power windows? i don't have a power sunroof so i'm trying to think of something similar.

basically, I just clipped into the purple wire...you could still use the sunroof as the sunroof fuse is still active and in place
