You have to connect them to a 12v power supply direct from the battery. I think mine is to the ignition, that way they always have power and keep the memory for keeping that f*cking annoying beep off, and your warnings staged.

Good luck

Yeah what I dont get is how do u connect them to the ignition I see the fuse on the fuse board but what cable do u connect it to

But my main problem is the broken cable

Do not use the cigarette lighter.

Get the earth, power and acc power from the mobile phone socket behind the fuse panel. You can buy a 4 pin Narva plug to fit it.

Use the wire from the tail light fuse to control the illumination for the gauges.

If you've got the Ford AUX kit it has a piggyback plug so the mobile phone kit can be plugged in aswell.

If you're using some sort of other kit then just make a splitter.

Should pick up an el cheapo multimeter mate. I was lucky enough to have one handy when I did my gauges (I have one for work) but I would have been f****d without it ;)

btw I connected mine at the ignition cos I didnt wanna play with the fuse box, just make sure you fuse the line. I used a 150mA fuse which works fine
