Triple Gauge harness pinout?
 
I have tried searching through the forums, Google, and the FSM and cannot find a pinout for the triple gauge harness. I'm trying to replace a couple of gauges and would like to power them through the harness. Using a multimeter has not yielded any positive results. Does anyone know which wires to use?

For reference there is a Black, Purple, two Yellows, and a Blue wire.

Also, for an oil temp gauge, can I use the stock wiring on the harness to get a signal or will I have to run a new sensor?

It should be in the FSM.

IIRC, the gauges are CAN devices and not analog, so you won't be able to re-purpose the wiring. But I can't swear to it.

Edit: MWI section of FSM for pinouts. The triple meter is a CAN device and only has power and CAN lines.

Thanks! I scrolled through that section of the FSM until I found the results that I was looking for. Nothing as direct as I was hoping, but good enough.

Ultimately, I had to use ground on pin 1 (black), and short pins 2 and 3 (purple and yellow). Without the short, the combo meter did not light up and the new triple meter gauges would not power on. The headlight dimmer does not seem to function on either of the power wires, must be a CAN function. I can live without my gauges dimming, at least until I find another wire to tap.

Here is a picture of my harness connected to the wires included with my gauges. The orange wire is for the dimmer.
