1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. The water temperature sensor unit may be installed 1 of the 2 ways

listed. 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.

 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.

 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 NPT.

3. Route the temperature sensor wire harness from the back of the

gauge (slot #2) through the firewall, engine bay and to the sensor. Next,

couple and secure the sensor wire harness to the temperature sensor.

 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.

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.

 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

www.MaxTow.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.
