I've got a Commander soon to be on it's way to me and I have a question about the wiring. I have everything covered except for tapping into the ECT sensor on the engine. Quad's manual states to use a multi-meter to find the correct wire, but I don't have a multi-meter right now; my Fluke meter died a few weeks ago and I haven't had a chance to pick another one up. Can anyone with an '06 model help me out here? I just need to know which wire to tap into. Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

I also still have my previous gauge setup for sale if anyone is interested. ISSPRO 3 gauge pillar kit with pyro, boost, and trans temp; It's all less than a year old and in perfect condition. Contact me for more information if you are interested.

 

Here's a pic for ya..

I didn't have a multi-meter at the time either, so I just tapped the wire the directions said to tap (from the directions: "pin B as labeled on top of the connector.") and it worked great.

 

Do you have an old 12 volt test light. It should light but it would not be very bright.

 

shortbed..... come to think of it, I do have a test light somewhere around here. I didn't even think about that. Good idea.

Luvn..... that pic is worth a 1000 words.

pt..... I guess I should have read the manual again. I just read it again and now I see where it says "pin b".

Thanks guys!

 

Tell me about it!! It took me forever to find a multimeter!!! Glad I could help!!

 

Also a couple other things.... did yall connect the power wire to fuse #28 as the manual instructs me to do? I wasn't sure if it was the same fuse on all model year trucks. I know the fuse panel seems to be a little different on the 06-07 models compared to the 03-05. I already have a Pyrometer probe installed that I used with my anlog gauges. It should back out pretty easy right? I shouldn't have to drill and tap a new hole should I? I would use the same pyro but it looks like the Quad pyro uses weather-pack type connectors and the pyro I have installed uses regular terminals and shrink wrap. Sorry for all the questions. I want this install to go as smoothly as possible......

 

Yes it should just back out and put the other one in..

 

Thanks for the info. That was what I was hoping to hear. How about the fuse? Is #28 correct?

 

Yes sir!!!!

 

Good deal. I think that'll be all I need for this install. Thanks for the help guys. I sure do appreciate it.....

 

You'll have to dremel out a little bit of your fuse box lid to get the wire out of the fuse box.

 

Good point JT. I didn't think about that. I've got a dremel @ the house so that shouldn't be a problem at all. Thanks for the info!
