Purple – Dimmer 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.
Tan - Brake 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.
Brown – High Beam 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 and receives 12 volts.
Grey with white stripe – Right turn Signal 18-gauge wire is the - RIGHT turn signal
Grey with black stripe – Left turn signal 18-gauge wire is the – Left turn signal.
Voltage Gauge This Gauge Requires no wire hookup. Volt Gauge is built into the dash panel and
is powered by the main power and ground connection of the dash. It does have an Adjuster to fine
tune the voltage. Note: you will need to adjust it before fully installing the dash
Green/Yellow – Check Engine Connect to the Negative side of the Check Engine Light circuit.
The Check Engine light will come on when using with a PCM or ECM.
CABLE BUTTONS
Trip/Cal Button - Grey Cable Button - There are two grey wires connected to the push-button for
the speedometer board. Mount the switch in a convenient location such as under the steering
column so that you may easily reset your trip odometer or other speedometer functions.
Fuel – Yellow The fuel gauge sending unit is not normally supplied because the display system
can use the existing fuel level sending unit in the tank in most cases. If your wiring harness already
has a single wire routed through the vehicle for the fuel sender, then it may be used. If using a wire
from an external harness, make sure that the wire does not have power. Fuel senders reference
their ground from the sender mounting plate. Connect the yellow wire to the factory sending unit.
Note: The gauge is preset for GM 0-90 Ohms
Fuel –Black/Yellow – Run a new ground wire and attach to your Fuel sending unit housing to ensure
proper fuel gauge operation. If the sending unit does not have a sufficient ground, it will not work
properly.
FUEL GAUGE TEST The most common problem with our Fuel Gauge not working is the circuit is
not complete. The easiest way to test this is to use a voltmeter and test for continuity on wires
going to fuel sender. With wire disconnected from Fuel Gauge check for continuity to ground.
Without this the Gauge will not work.
Note: If doing a LS engine swap, pick up the tach signal wire from the ECM/ECU and then set
the tach switch to 4-cylinders. You may also need to order the Intellitronix LS Engine Swap
Adapter Kit – for Series 1, 2 and 3 engines. The part number is 8014LS. The resistor in the
adapter kit will help pull a stronger signal for the tachometer.
Green - Tachometer
If your vehicle has a separate ignition coil, connect the green wire to the negative (-) side of
the coil – the wire that goes to the points or electronic ignition module.
To ensure that the ignition system does not interfere with any other dashboard functions,
do not run the tachometer wire alongside any other sender or input wires. Do not use solid
core spark plug wires with this dashboard system. Solid core ignition wires cause a large
amount of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference which can disrupt the
system's operation.
