AutoMeter INVISION LCD DASH KIT Manual page 4

Note Regarding Turn Signals: Before you reinstall your dash, check to see if your turn signals flash after wiring in your new dash. If they
do flash, then leave them as is. If they do NOT flash, then you will need to wire in a light socket, with an incandescent bulb (such as a 194)
in parallel. For example, for the left turn signal, we wired as recommended, but also used an AutoMeter model 3220 light bulb, and wired the
white wire of this light socket to the same light green w/white trace factory turn signal wire, and we then grounded the black wire of the new
light socket. The internal turn signal indicators of the new InVision
Adding the additional light socket puts more electrical load on the circuit, and causes it to function normally, should this happen.

Now is a good time to plug your harness into the new dash display, and turn power on to make sure all of your wiring is good, and to become
familiar with the dash. Remember you still have senders to connect outside of the interior at this point. We will cover Set Up details later,
though for now, simply make sure that your dash powers up, and that turn signals, and hi beam indicator (when lights are on) function.
dash are LED, and may cause your turn signals to flash slow, or not at all.

The InVision dash comes with 3 external warning indicator lights that are option
®
for you to wire up and use, to keep factory systems functioning properly. They are
charging system, ABS brakes, and Air Bag (SIR). Each of these use a common
194 bulb. Top is Charging Light, Middle is ABS Light, Bottom is Air Bag Light.
If using the original charging system: You will have to wire in a light socket,
with an incandescent light bulb, and a 510 ohm ½ watt (or larger watt) resistor in
order for the charging system to function. Without this, the charging system will
not work.
This can be done with a light socket, such as AutoMeters model number 3220,
and use a 194 light bulb (bulb & socket included). For this, connect one wire of
the light socket (either) to pin 14 light green with red trace wire of the factory
cluster connector. Then connect the other light socket wire to the remaining red
wire with yellow trace wire of the factory cluster connector (there were originally
two of these wires, and you used one already for your 12v power wire in this
instruction). Keep in mind if you have an airbag, you will be connecting a 2nd wire
to the red/yellow wire in the next step below. You will also wire the resistor across
the two wires of the light socket (see photo 7 below).
When the charge light is wired properly, the light will turn on with the key on,
and engine not running. The light will then go out, when you start the engine &
the charging system starts working. If the light comes on at a later time with the
engine running, then have your alternator checked.
If SRS / Airbag Equipped: You will have to wire in a light socket, with an
incandescent light bulb. This can be done with a light socket, such as AutoMeters
model number 3220, and use a 194 light bulb (bulb & socket included). For this,
connect one wire of the light socket (either) to pin 10 black with yellow trace wire
of the factory cluster connector. Connect the second wire of the light socket to the
same red with yellow trace wire that you used for the charging system light.
NOTE: Do Not substitute an LED in place of the supplied incandescent bulb.
ABS Light: Not used with the Fox Body Mustang applications
