Some hour meters run off of 12vdc and others off of 120vac.
Do a google search on the brand you have then hook up a wire accordingly.
Others will be willing to help if you need it.
I just checked mine. It is Quartz brand and runs off of 120vac.
I assume you have a Onan Diesel and you are talking about the hourmeter built in to the Onan. IF you have a remote hourmeter on your model, it will be 12 volt not 120 volt. A LOT of motorhomes have 2 hourmeters. ON the Onan and then the remote meter. If the OP has a remote meter, it will be 12 volt and runs off the 12 volt indicator light at the remote panel. Doug
