boost gauge help

[coyfish]

Forgive the newbness but I just got this used digital gauge from renzozuken .

I already have a cheapy manual guage but im not sure how to install this one.

I t'd off my vacuum line. I have a tube from the T to the sender box. The sender box has a black wire with 3 ends (red, black ,white).

The gauge has 4 wires (red, white, black, green). I guess I need to buy some wire to connect them but im not sure which one goes where. Any help would be much appreciated.

Also just FYI I did a search but couldn't find any digital gauge installs, just the basic manual ones. If you happened to come across a HOW TO please let me know ! Thanks in advance

Who makes the gauge? Ever thought about contacting them?

prosport

id say that youd color match the three and that the green is the ground

 

[coyfish]

I always thought black was the ground

 

[Igve2shtz]

In car electronics, black is usually ground. In home wiring/AC circuits, green is a ground.

Are there connectors on these wires? Basically, the wires from the sensor get routed to the gauge, and the gauge itself should have a different cable with the following wires: a 12V Batt (usually yellow), 12V Switched/Accessory (usually red) and a ground (black)

I would contact Prosport. They were pretty quick at responding to my emails. Just tell them you removed it for a dealer visit and lost the instructions. Don't tell them you bought it second hand.

Yep I sent an email to prosport. Thanks for your help everyone.

So to connect everything up just use generic wiring?

Just go buy yourself some wire at the local Radioshack/auto parts store. I'm a fan of color matching the wire to the device, but you don't have to. Hell, you could use the same color wire, just label it.

thx SO much LBV. Exactly what I needed.

You're welcome ... obviously you may want to install elsewhere but the rest of the instructions for hook-up should be fine.

one more problem. Everyone with prosport gauges have red, black, green, white wires. Instead of the white . . . I have yellow.

Anyone know where yellow goes . . .

red - ign power
black - ground
green- sender
yellow - . . . . ?? I assume constant power . . .

I'm going to assume the yellow replaces the white so connect as usual.
