  • Page 2 ROAD GLIDE FLTR You will need to remove the speedometer and tachometer instrument bezel. To do this, remove two small screws on the left and right side of the bezel. Then lift up on the back of the bezel and slide the tab that is under the ignition switch out from under the switch cover, see photos below of ignition switch cover removed to show detail.
  • Page 3 The BLUE wire in the MCL-30K-SPD harness controls the dimming circuit. When this wire receives +12 volts, the gauge will dim to 50% intensity. This wire can be connected to a toggle switch, or to a Dakota Digital MCL-30K-TCH (the tachometer has a sensor that activates the dimming feature when ambient light is low).
  • Page 4 The function switch, discussed above, is used to enter setup mode for all of the gauges. If you are only installing one or a couple Dakota Digital MCL-3K gauges, setup may seem a little strange since they are designed to work as a set.
