Intellitronix DP10003 Installation Manual page 4

Note: Before installing or Setting up you must know your Fuel sender OHMS Range to
properly set Gauge up.
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. Be sure the toggle settings on the switch match those displayed on the panel, as
illustrated. NOTE: If the switch is on the back of the circuit board the position is UPSIDE DOWN!
1. Both switches in the ON position for Ford/Chrysler
2. For GM - #1 toggle is ON
a. # 2 toggle is OFF.
3. Both switches in the OFF position for VDO
4. For Universal/Stewart Warner
#1 toggle is OFF
# 2 toggle is ON.
FUEL GAUGE TEST
The most common problem with our Fuel Gauge not working is the circuit is not complete. The
easiest way to test for this is to use a voltmeter and test for continuity on wires going to fuel sender
after disconnecting from gauge. If not disconnected it will give you a false reading. With wire
disconnected from Fuel Gauge check for continuity to ground. Then test for OHMS to verify within
range of fuel sender. If you don't have an accurate reading. Run a new ground wire to engine
without this the Gauge will not work properly. Note: Verify Ohm range of sender and match
settings before cutting a wire or setting Dip switches for testing
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. If you are getting the tach
signal from the ECU, the resistor in the adapter kit will help pull a stronger signal for the
tachometer. If your engine is a 4 cylinder, please call Tech Support at Intellitronix, as you may
need to send the gauge back to us to be reconfigured. There is no charge for this additional
service.
