Temperature Sensor Installation
2. Install the oil temperature sensor. There are three common types of oil
temperature sensor installations:

Oil Gallery Test Port: Some engine oil galleries will have a test
port plug. Check your owner’s manual to verify the location and
thread size. Remove the port plug and install the supplied
temperature sensor. Additional adapters may be required if the port
is not threaded to 1/8
th NPT.

Oil Filter Adapter Installation: You can purchase an Oil Filter
Sandwich Adapter from www.GlowShift.com. This oil filter
sandwich adapter is installed between your oil filter and engine
block, providing you with 3 sensor ports in which you can install
the oil temperature sensor to.

T-Fitting Installation: Remove your stock oil temperature
sensor and fasten a T-fitting in its place. 1/8
th NPT T-Fittings are
available for purchase at www.GlowShift.com. Using a T-fitting
allows you to “T” off of the port and opens up 3 more, which then
allows for the stock and GlowShift sensors to be installed and
operate simultaneously.
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 oil
temperature sensor. Then, connect the black wire of the oil temperature
sensor to any good (unpainted) ground connection.

Note: For an easier installation GlowShift offers an extended wire
harness that offers 9 feet of sensor wire and 3 feet of power wire so
there is no need to extend the wires yourself.
5. Using automotive grade wiring (18 gauge), connect the yellow wire to a
positive 12 volt constant (un-switched) source either on the vehicle or in
the fuse box.

Note: If you are connecting the yellow wire directly to the
battery, you MUST install a 3 amp fuse within 6-8 inches of the
battery connection.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable.

If your gauge(s) do not illuminate or do not recall your last
saved color, your switched and un-switched sources are
reversed.

If your gauge(s) only illuminate red then the yellow wire for
constant source is not connected properly.
Be sure all of your wiring is correct to ensure proper gauge
operation.
