Please take a look at GlowShift.com for available adapters including Thread Adapter, Banjo Bolts, Fuel Rail Adapters, T-Fittings and Big Line Kits.
-
On Dodge Cummins applications it is required to install a Snubber Valve inline with the Pressure Sensor in order to protect the sensor from pressure spikes.
-
Find the location you wish to install your Pressure Sensor and have the adapter ready, (if needed). Common sensor install locations include the Fuel Rail, Fuel Filter Housing, Lift Pump and Fuel Line.
-
Place a Catch Pan in the area that you will be working in order to catch any lost fuel.
-
Drain the Fuel Bowl or Filter Housing if applicable.
-
Remove any plugs or valves needed to gain access to the pressure port.
-
Install the sensor into the desired location and tighten using a 22mm wrench.
-
Plug the Fuel Pressure Sensor Harness into the sensor and route through the engine bay, through the firewall, using a grommet, keeping it clear of any moving parts, heat sources, and kinks. An extended harness is available on GlowShift.com if the included harness is not long enough.
Note: Be sure to use a grommet when routing the Harness through the firewall to protect it from being cut or damaged. If one is not available you will need to drill a hole and install a grommet. -
Plug the Fuel Pressure Sensor Harness into the back of the Fuel Pressure Gauge.
-
Before the engine is able to be started, be sure to bleed off any air that may be in the system following the manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
Gauge Wiring
-
In order to test for power, reconnect the Negative Battery Terminal.
-
It may be necessary to remove the Vehicle Trim and/or Kick Panels in order to gain access to the vehicle’s Fuse Box.
-
Using a Test Light, locate a Switched 12-volt Power Source in the vehicle’s Fuse Panel that receives 12-Volt power when the ignition is turned on. You can splice into the circuit or use an optional expandable circuit, connect the Red Wire of the gauge to the Switched 12-volt Power Source.
Note: It is required to use an automotive grade 18- 20 gauge wire and proper splice connectors when extending any of the power wires. -
Connect the Orange Wire of the gauge to the positive headlight switch Power Source using a Splice Connector or Expandable Circuit either in the Fuse Box or the switch itself in order to have the gauge face dim 30% when the headlights are turned on.
Note: Make sure that the connection source is not adjustable. If the voltage is reduced when you lower the Dimmer Wheel it could cause the gauge to flash from not having enough voltage. -
Locate a clean, reliable grounding source and connect the Black Wire from the gauge.
-
After all wiring is complete, turn the vehicle’s key to the “On” position and ensure your gauge illuminated.
-
Reinstall any panels that may have been removed.
-
Turn on the headlights to ensure that the gauge is dimming properly.
-
Start the vehicle and check for leaks.
-
Test drive your vehicle to ensure your gauge is functioning properly
