1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Using automotive grade wiring (18 gauge), connect
the red wire and POST 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.

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 “add a
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.GlowShift.com or a local auto parts store.
3. (Optional) The dimming feature of the Tinted Series
decreases the brightness of the lighted gauge face 30%.
Connect the orange wire to a positive 12 volt switched
source. The most common installation is to splice and
connect to the 12 volt positive headlight source. This
step is completely optional.
4. The water temperature sender unit may be installed 1 of the 3
ways listed. The sender should always be installed before the
vehicle thermostat or the gauge will not display a reading until
the vehicle thermostat has been opened.

Water Temp Adapter: Purchase a Water Temp Adapter from
www.GlowShift.com or an Authorized Dealer. Cut the upper
radiator hose and install the adapter between the two halves.
Install the hose clamps included in the kit and tighten. Run a wire
from the screw on the attachment to the engine ground and install
the temp sender.

T-Fitting Installation: Purchase a 1/8 NPT - T-Fitting from
www.GlowShift.com or an Authorized Dealer. After, you may
remove the stock sending unit and fasten the T-fitting in its place.
The fitting allows you to “t” off one port and opens up 3 more,
which then allows for the stock and GlowShift units to be installed
and operate simultaneously.

Replace Stock Sensor: Remove the stock sender unit for the
warning light on your dash. In most vehicles this sensor is not
connected to your PCM and removing it will not affect anything.
YOU MUST confirm this with your dealer or owner’s manual
before removing and replacing the sensor with the GlowShift unit.
5. Connect the white wire on the temperature sensor to the
POST of the gauge.
6. Connect the black wire, POST and black sender wire to
any good (unpainted) ground connection. You may also route a wire
directly to the negative side of the vehicle’s battery.
7. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
