Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

When I did Kirby's in-dash spoiler switch mod I used 18 Gauge wire, it worked like a charm.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 1 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

anybody knows whats the correct gauge wire to use for the spoiler in-dash switch DIY job? itzkirb's photos are neat, but no gauge spec (am i too ahem... detail-oriented?)

POST 2Original post

I'm curious too. I want to add the switch, but I want the install to look as OEM as possible.

POST 3Original post

When I did Kirby's in-dash spoiler switch mod I used 18 Gauge wire, it worked like a charm.

POST 4Original post

18 guage wire (1 mm diameter copper), can handle about 16 Amps current - which is a fair bit of current - so I think that's going to be fine for automotive accessory stuff.
