CONTROL BOX MOUNTING
Once the display panel is in place, mount the control box within reach of the ribbon cable
on the display panel (approximately 3 feet). Choose a mounting location that will allow you
access to wire all of the inputs on the control box. Double sided tape, hook and loop fasteners,
or screws in the two tabs on the case work fine for securing the control box under the dash.
When selecting a mounting location, avoid placing the control module next to, or
just opposite of the firewall from, ignition components, ie: Ignition coil, HEI, etc. Ignition
components can emit tremendous amounts of electric noise, affecting the operation of
electrical components.
Wiring the control box into the vehicle
While the control box contains several connections, the wiring is straightforward.
Depending on how many auxiliary functions you want displayed, not every terminal will be used
in most applications. Below we describe the function of each terminal, what they do, and how to
wire them.
