OPTIONAL OIL TEMPERATURE Dakota Digital part number SEN-1043 or SEN-1044 must be used. The SEN-1043 is a one-wire sender with 1/8” NPT threads. Connect the terminal on the end of the sender to the indicator harness BLUE wire. Because this sensor grounds through its body, ensure sure the sender threads are able to make a metal-to-metal connection to complete the ground. - Page 6 RED – power, BLACK – ground, WHITE – speed signal.
