1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. The water temperature sensor may be installed 1 of the 3 ways listed
below. The sensor should always be installed before the vehicle
thermostat or the gauge will not display a reading until the vehicle
thermostat has been opened.

Coolant Fluid Port: Locate a coolant fluid port located on your
engine and remove the port plug. Directly install the water
temperature sensor to the coolant port. Additional adapters may be
required if the coolant port is not threaded to 1/8
th - 27 NPT.

Water Temperature Sensor Adapter: You can purchase a Water
Temperature Sensor Adapter from GlowShift.com. Cut the upper
radiator hose and install the adapter between the two halves. Install
the hose clamps included in the kit and tighten. Run a wire from the
screw on the attachment to the engine ground and install the
temperature sensor.

Note: Measure the inside diameter of your coolant hose
to verify what size adapter you will need for your vehicle.

Stock Sensor Location: Use a T-fitting (optional) to “T” off your
stock sensor location. This will allow you to keep your stock sensor
installed, while also allowing you to install an aftermarket
temperature sensor.
3. Route the temperature sensor wire harness from the back of the
gauge (port D) through the firewall to the engine bay. Next, couple and
secure the sensor wire harness to the temperature sensor. Connect the
white and black wires on the wire harness to the corresponding black and
white wires on the temperature sensor.

Note: Be sure to use a grommet when routing wires through
the firewall to protect them from stripping and damage.
4. Connect the white 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 switch of
the vehicle.

Note: If wiring to an un-fused source, install a 3 amp fuse
inline within 20 inches of the sources connection. You may
obtain an optional “expandable circuit” accessory. This
component easily fits into your fuse panel and provides an
additional fused power wire for accessories such as gauges.
This is available at GlowShift.com or a local auto parts store.
5. Connect the
red wire to a positive 12 volt constant (un-switched) source,
either directly to the battery or to a fuse panel on the vehicle.

Note: If wiring to an un-fused source, install a 3 amp fuse inline
within 20 inches of the sources connection. You may obtain an
optional “expandable circuit” accessory. This component easily
fits into your fuse panel and provides an additional fused power
wire for accessories such as gauges. This is available at
GlowShift.com or a local auto parts store.
6. 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.
7. Connect the black wire from the gauge, to any good (unpainted) ground
connection. You may also route a wire directly to the negative side of the
vehicle’s battery.
8. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
9. Daisy Chain Feature (Optional): If you are installing more than one
Elite 10 Color Gauge, you can use the daisy chain feature to power up to 4
additional gauges. Simply plug the included daisy chain wire into the
gauge that is already powered (port B); then plug the other end of the wire
into the daisy chain port on the next gauge.
