install the gauge through the panel or console using
the u-clamp and two hex nuts provided with the
gauge.
install the 90-degree elbow fitting onto the connection
at the back of the gauge. use Teflon thread-sealer on
the male threads of the gauge nipple. do not allow any
sealant to cover the pin-sized hole in the end of the

using the wiring kit provided, strip and connect one
end of each of the six-foot wires to wires on the 4-pin
connector with the butt connectors, using an
appropriate crimp tool. Make sure to connect the red
wires to the (+) terminal and the black wires to the
ground. incorrect wiring will result in a non-working
leD. see
figure 4 . if more than one gauge is being
used, the wires from other 4-pin connectors may be
doubled up in the connectors. no more than two wires
should be in either end of the butt connector. route
the red wire to the fuse panel. identify the circuit for
the dashboard lights and remove the fuse. install the
appropriate fuse tap under the non-powered leg of the
fuse. This is the socket that has no power when the
dash light switch is on, as tested with a test-light or
multi-meter. cut and strip the red wire to an
appropriate length and install the female push-on
connector. connect the wire to the fuse tap. route the
black wire to a location where a good ground can be
found. cut and strip the wire to an appropriate length
and crimp the ring terminal to the wire. install the ring
terminal under an existing bolt or washer, or use the
self-tapping screw provided to connect to ground.
connect the 4-pin male connector to the female
connector on the back of the gauge.
