Temperature Sensor Installation

2. There are two common types of transmission temperature sensor

installations:

 Transmission Test Port: Most vehicle transmissions come

equipped with a test port location. This may be located on either

the driver or passenger sides of the transmission near the

transmission oil pan. The bolt in this port should be removed

and the sensor fitted in its place. Confirm port and thread size

with your vehicle dealer or owner’s manual. A test port

extender will be required when installing this sensor into Dodge

Ram model years 94-07.5

 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.

Note: Some vehicles may require additional adapters to complete the

installation of this sensor.

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

transmission temperature sensor. Then, connect the black wire of the

transmission 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.

Additional Installation Information & Material Requirements  GlowShift Gauges Approved Conductor Wires: Successfully installing GlowShift Gauges may require lengths of wire (sizes and quantity depend on vehicle, gauge type, gauge location and / or sensor location). For correct and proper GlowShift Gauge installation and operation, the use of 18 Gauge (wire diameter) automotive grade conductor wire with sheathing is recommended for one or more gauges per vehicle.
