12V BATTERY
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DIGITAL FUEL LEVEL
2650-1239-00 Rev. A
1. Check that you have all parts required for installation, and that the engine is cool.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
3. Gauge mounts in a 2
1 ⁄ 16 " hole.
4. Connect the purple sender wire to the fuel level sender. Existing wires may be used, or route the purple sender wire to the fuel tank.
(The stock fuel level gauge, if equipped, must be disconnected.)
5. Connect the white wire to dash lighting or switchable 12v light source. Digital display will dim when power is applied.
6. Connect one of the black wires to a good ground. (Either black wire, does not matter which one)
7. Connect the red power wire to a switched +12v source.
8. Reconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
1. The brown and black wires are used to set the sender type. The gauge ships pre-programmed to read GM 0-90 ohm senders.
If using a 0-90 ohm GM sender, separately insulate the ends of the brown and black wires with electrical tape, and coil them up
under the dash.
2. If any other sender type is required, connect a Radio Shack 275-1556 or equivalent momentary button to the black and brown
wires (see illustration above), or alternately touch the stripped ends of the black and brown wires to simulate pushing the button.
3. Press and hold the button, and apply power to the gauge. After 10 seconds, the display will momentarily display a number with a
dash on either side indicating the gauge is in sender select mode.
4. Allow the display to move to the appropriate number per the sender select chart (see next page), and release the push button.
The display can be incremented to the next position by momentarily pressing the button.
5. Remove power from the gauge to store the new sender type by turning off the ignition switch.
6. Re-apply power to the gauge, and confirm that it reads the proper fuel level. If the proper fuel level is not read, return to step 3
and repeat the sender select process. If the proper fuel level is still not indicated, perform a Custom Sender Calibration.
7. Remove power from the gauge by turning off the ignition switch.
8. Remove the momentary button if it was used, and tape the ends of the brown and black wires so they will not touch.
9. Coil the wires up under the dash.

CAUTION!
As a safety precaution, the +12V terminal
of this product should be fused before
connecting to the 12V ignition switch. We
recommend using a 1 Amp, 3AG fast-
acting type cartridge fuse (Littlefuse ®
#312 001 or an equivalent).

The Traditional Digital Fuel Level Gauge can be programmed to flash the display when the fuel level has reached a reserve level.
When power is applied to the gauge, it will momentarily display rXX, where XX is the current reserve level. Setting the reserve
level to 0% disables this feature.
1. The brown and black wires are used to set the reserve level. The gauge ships pre-programmed with the reserve set to 10%. If not
changing the reserve level, separately insulate the ends of the brown and black wires with electrical tape, and coil them up under
the dash.
