What guage wiring should be used?

Newbuggyboy · 09-24-2019, 07:05 PM

In my 91 marathon two wires of the FNR microswitches were cut. The white wire looks like it was to go to battery 6 +. And the green, or blue, wire goes to the ignition switch. LMK if those go somewhere else.

The wires may just need a connector on the battery and ignition ends. But I think I should replace them. The white wire seems thicker.

What gauge wiring should those be?

Thanks.

I'd pull up a wiring diagram in the stickies for reference. Your description isn't consistent with the diagram.

As to gauge? If in doubt, always better to go thicker than thinner. If I wasn't sure, I'd use 14ga.

The correct gauge is 10 gauge. Here is my new wire.
