Wiring 

 

2.1 

Main Gauge Wiring 

 

1.  Connect the RED wire to a switched 12V source. A switched 12V source 

comes ON as soon as the ignition on the car is keyed on. Make sure the 
connection is fused with a minimum fuse size of 2A. 

Circuits that share power with the vehicle’s stereo, ignition 

system, ECU or fuel pump should not be used.   

 

2.  Connect the main BLACK wire to a ground source. Note that there is an 

additional black wire coming out of the 3 pin connector, this is not the 
main gauge ground and will be covered later in the Fuel Pressure sensor 
wiring. Avoid noisy ground sources, such as grounds used for the radio 
and or ignition.  
 

3.  Connect the WHITE wire to a headlight power wire (a wire that supplies 

current when the headlights are on). This enables the display to dim for 
better nighttime viewing. DO NOT CONNECT THIS WIRE TO THE 
HEADLIGHT DIMMING WIRE. Connection to this rheostat type of switch 
will cause the gauge to malfunction. If you chose not to utilize the 
dimming feature, connect the WHITE wire to ground. 

2.2 

Fuel Pressure Sensor Wiring 

 

1.  Route the pressure sensor cable to the gauge and connect it to the 3 

pin connector.

 

2.  Coming out of the female three pin connector from the gauge you 

will find a black wire with a stripped end. Connect this black wire to 
the same ground source as the gauge.  

3.  Connect the other end of the pressure sensor cable to the fuel  

pressure transducer.
