WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: LS Engines or any other Computer based engine systems must use the provided sensors
in conjunction with the factory sensors
Use 18 AWG or larger wire to ensure sufficient grounding and power feed
Black – Ground 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. Proper vehicle grounding is
extremely important for any gauges (or electronics) to operate correctly. The engine block
should have heavy ground cables connected to the battery, frame, and firewall.
Red – Power Connect the +12 Volt wire to constant +12V power from the battery power source from
fuse panel. Using a 5-amp fuse or an inline 5-amp fuse holder
Pink – Power Connect the power terminal to accessory +12V power from the fuse panel or vehicle
wiring harness. Using a 5-amp fuse or an inline 5-amp fuse holder. This terminal should have power
when the key is on or in accessory position.
Blue – Water Temperature This gauge is incompatible with other sending units, so you must
replace the 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 the best results we suggest running a new wire.
Black/Blue – Water Temperature Ground This is a ground wire for the two terminal water temp
senders. If your dash kit came with the single terminal sender this wire will go to the engine
block ground. If using the two terminal sender this will go to the black/blue wire on the sender's
harness. If your kit contains a two-wire sender and your dash circuit board does not have the
Black/Blue wire installed then run this wire coming off the senders harness to the same ground
that the dash board is grounded too.
Orange – Oil Pressure Replace the existing oil pressure sending unit with the unit included with
your gauge. The Orange wire will be wired to the S terminal on the sending unit. This gauge is
incompatible with other sending units.
Oil Pressure Ground Run a ground wire from the G terminal on the sender to the engine block
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.
