Ground – Black--This is the main ground for the display system. A wire should be run from
this board to the vehicle engine block for the best ground. Use 18 AWG or larger wire to
ensure sufficient grounding. Proper vehicle grounding is extremely important for any gauges (or
electronics) to operate correctly. The engine block should have heavy ground cables to the
battery, frame, and firewall. Failure to properly ground the engine block, senders, or digital dash
can cause incorrect or erratic operation.
Power - Red--Connect the power terminal to accessory +12V power from the fuse panel or
vehicle wiring harness. This terminal should have power when the key is on or in accessory
position. Use 18 AWG wire to ensure the system receives a sufficient power feed.
Power – Pink--Connect the power terminal to accessory +12V power from the fuse panel or
vehicle wiring harness. This terminal should have power when the key is on or in accessory
position. Use 18 AWG wire to ensure the system receives a sufficient power feed.
ater – Blue - This gauge is incompatible with other sending units, so you must replace the
W
existing water temperature sending unit with the included sender. Do not use Teflon tape or
other sealer on the new sending unit's threads to avoid inaccurate readings. Connect the blue
wire to the sending unit. For best results we suggest running a new wire.
Oil Pressure – Orange - Replace the existing oil pressure sending unit with the unit included. Do
not use Teflon tape or other sealer on the new sending unit's threads. This will avoid inaccurate
ground connections as the sending units get their ground from the threads. The oil sender gets its
ground from the threading into the engine block, thus proper grounding is crucial. Connect to the
sending unit.
Dimmer – Purple Connect to the parking lights to dim the LEDs 50% when the headlights are on. However,
*DO NOT * connect to the headlight rheostat control wire, or the dimming feature will not work properly
and may cause damage to Unit.
Brake – Tan - Connect to the parking brake wire from the dash to negative side of parking brake
light switch. NOTE: If you are using a one wire switch you may need to switch to a two-wire switch.
This wire is an optional wire some vehicles may not require
High-Beam – Brown - Connect the brown wire on the Dash unit to your high beam headlight circuit.
This wire is powered on when the high beam is turned on.
