tranny temp gauge install
tranny temp gauge install I am wanting to wire the light on my temp gauge to the headlight switch, so that the gauge light comes on with all the other gauges. What wire should I splice into to do this? HELP ASAP please!!!
If you wire it up per the instructions the light should only come on with your headlights.
The orange/white wire to the stereo is the "illumination" wire, connect it to correct wire on the gauge per your instructions (you can also connect behind the stereo to red=+12v ignition and black=ground).
I just finished my trans temp gauge install today.

Well I got it installed, and it went very easily. I also did my cooler while i was under the car. Does 180 sound about right for stop and go traffic? Does 150 sound right for 75+mph highway driving? these number are with the vig3200

i see you installed it already but for anyone else, the easiest way to wire the gauge lighting is to source the power from the dash-side fuse box, speicifically seat the wire in the same slot with the dash light dimmer fuse. then the gauge will dim and brighten with the rest of your lights..

in JULY, i made 9 dyno pulls back to back followed by a couple quick blasts to check that the shift points werre correct and such and the needle barely touched on 180!

If you want it to dim with all of your other gauges you can hook it up to the dimmer fuse. It will still come on whenever you turn on your lights, now you can dim it though.

Some people tap it into the pan, some put a "T" in one of the lines and mount the sensor there.

i did the sender hookup, all the wiring and mounting the gauge pod in about 2 hours.

What happens to the stock temp guage does the pcm not get a signal anymore?
