MOUNTING

The gauge will mount using the original housing, grommet, and screws. Unbolt the two screws from the back

plate at the back of the gauge housing, then unplug the factory gauge, noting the position of the grommets. There is one
grommet on the front between the gauge and housing and one on the back between the housing and the back plate.
Install the Dakota Digital gauge in reverse order installing grommets and then plugging into the factory plug and securing
with the two screws.
