Alsocan anyone tell me how to callibrate it i have the use of a taco rolling road that will give me accurate speed but i could be there a long time randomly guessing switch configurations as the instructions i have seem to be lacking any sort of explation please can someone help as the sva date is getting closer !!!
IIRC
Black = 12v
Brown = Earth
Yellow/Brown = Signal
Its been a few weeks since I wired mine.
Its a hall effect sensor and the gauge just requires the signal input.
Black is switched 12v
Brown is earth
Yellow is signal out to your gauge.
If you do a search there are a few posts to confirm this.
Tested mine and it is very smooth, much less jerky than the magnets.
must type quicker
