Running wires
Wires need to be run between the digital dash panel boards and the supplied sensors, to send a
signal to each gauge, plus power and ground. Power should be a good clean, switched 12V source,
and ground should be solid bare metal such as engine block or unpainted frame members. How and
where you run these wires will vary depending on your preferences, and how your car is set up. A
good practice is to poke through into the engine bay via an existing grommet, and it is often easiest
to fish the wires though in a staggered manner if the grommet is tight. Tuck in the wire runs behind
existing components to achieve a clean look. Secure the wires with zip ties at intervals. Make sure
the new wiring doesn’t interfere with gas or brake pedals. The rest is up to you.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Automotive circuit connectors are the preferred method of connecting wires. However, you
may solder if you wish.
Note: If doing an LS engine swap, pick up the tach signal wire from the ECM/ECU and then set the
tach switch to 4-cylinders. You may also need to order the Intellitronix LS Engine Swap Adapter Kit
for Series 1, 2 and 3 engines. The part number is 8014LS. If you are getting the tach signal from
the ECU, the resistor in the adapter kit will help pull a stronger signal for the tachometer. If your
engine is a 4 cylinder, please call Tech Support at Intellitronix, as you may need to send the gauge
back to us to be reconfigured. There is no charge for this additional service.
Ground Black--This is the main ground for the display system. A wire should be run from
this board to the vehicle engine block for the best ground. Use 18 AWG or larger wire to ensure
sufficient grounding. Proper vehicle grounding is extremely important for any gauges (or
electronics) to operate correctly. The engine block should have heavy ground cables connected to
the battery, frame, and firewall. Failure to properly ground the engine block, senders, or digital
dash can cause incorrect or erratic operation.
Power - Red--Connect the power terminal to accessory +12V power from the fuse panel or vehicle
wiring harness. Using a 5-amp fuse or an inline 5-amp fuse holder. This terminal should have power
when the key is on or in accessory position. Use 18 AWG wire to ensure the system receives a
sufficient power feed.
SPEEDOMETER (you have three methods for speedometer connection)
1.) Speedometer White - (Factory sender with Powertrain Control Module) When using a LS
engine swap, you will need to pick up the Speedometer signal wire from the PCM Pin 50 on the red
connector. (This pin may Differ. Refer to your vehicles Pinout Chart for accuracy). Any other
Computer based engine will need to use to use the PCM/ECM to run the speed signal for the
Speedometer. (Consults Pinout Chart)
2.) Speedometer White - (Factory two wire sender no PCM) - Most vehicles built after 1984 have
an electronic transmission sender. If your vehicle is already equipped with an electronic
transmission, then the electronic vehicle sender will usually have Two wires attached to it. One
connects to the Signal wire on dash (we prefer this to be high output). The other wire (Low output)
Ground at the Engine block. To find High and Low output wire color or pin location will need to be
looked up by Vehicle vin or Model and year or (Consults Pinout Chart).
