Ground - Black This is the main ground for the display system. A wire should be run from this
board to the vehicle's main engine block 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.
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; the dimming feature will not
work properly.
Turn Signals - Grey Two 18-gauge wires, one for each signal. Each wire is labeled on the
printed circuit board as "LEFT" and "RIGHT". Connect each wire to its corresponding indicator
circuit.
High Beams – Brown Connect the brown wire to your high beam headlight.
Oil - 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 to avoid inaccurate ground
connections as the sending units get their ground from the threads. The oil sender gets its
grounding from the threading into the engine block, thus proper grounding is crucial. Connect the
orange wire to the sending unit.
Water - Blue Replace the existing water temperature sending unit with the unit included. The
gauge is incompatible with other sending units. 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.
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 diagram, as
illustrated.
