Temperature Sensor Installation
2.
Install the oil temperature sensor. There are three common types
of oil temperature sensor installations:

Oil Gallery Test Port: Some engine oil galleries will have
a test port plug. Check your owner’s manual to verify the
location and thread size. Remove the port plug and install
the supplied temperature sensor. Additional adapters may
be required if the port is not threaded to 1/8

th

NPT.

Oil Filter Adapter Installation: You can purchase an Oil
Filter Sandwich Adapter from www.GlowShift.com. This
oil filter sandwich adapter is installed between your oil filter
and engine block, providing you with 3 sensor ports in
which you can install the oil temperature sensor to.

T-Fitting Installation: Remove your stock oil temperature
sensor and fasten a T-fitting in its place. 1/8

th

NPT T-

Fittings are available for purchase at www.GlowShift.com.
Using a T-fitting allows you to “T” off of the port and opens
up 3 more, which then allows for the stock and GlowShift
sensors to be installed and operate simultaneously.

Connecting the Power Wire Harness
3.
To make the wiring of your gauges easier you can purchase an
expandable circuit. This component easily fits into your fuse panel
and provides an additional fused power wire for accessories such as
gauges. The expandable circuit is available for purchase at
www.GlowShift.com.



4.
Connect the green wire from the gauge to the white wire of the
oil temperature sensor. Then, connect the black wire of the oil
temperature sensor to any good (unpainted) ground connection.

5.
Using automotive grade wiring (18 gauge); connect the red wire
to a positive 12 volt ignition (switched) source. It may be
connected to the fuse panel, an accessory wire, or any positive 12
volt source that turns on and off with the ignition.

6. Using automotive grade wiring (18 gauge); connect the black
wire
to any good (unpainted) ground connection. You may also
route a wire directly to the negative side of the vehicle’s battery.

7. The Night Time Dimming feature decreases the brightness of
the gauge face by 30%. Connect the orange wire to the 12 volt
positive headlamp source. This allows the mode to be activated
when the headlights come on. This step is optional and will not
affect operation of the gauge if it is omitted.

Note: Do not connect the orange wire to a dimmer wheel.
This will cause the gauge lighting to flicker.


8.
Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable.

Power on the vehicle to ensure the gauge is functioning
properly.
