Locate your OBDII/DLC port under the drive side dash and tap the black wire into pin 4 for chassis ground and the red wire into pin 16 for 12v . The Raxiom Boost Gauge has a smart sense to prevent voltage draw when the car is off.
**Optional Dimmer (yellow wire) Tap the vehicle's dimmer switch wiring, this is the purple wire on a 09. Check your vehicle's wiring diagram, wire color may vary from vehicle to vehicle

Run the supplied vacuum tubing to the engine bay and t tap into a suitable vacuum source. Secure with a zip tie.

Red - 12V

Black - Ground

Yellow - Dimmer, hook to an interior lighting connection, when the headlights are on the gauge will dim.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS (Running Mode)
Left Button TAP = Peak recall (and start 15 second record)

Left Button HOLD = 15 sec playback

Right Button TAP = View Current Mode Name

Right Button HOLD = Night/Day Dimmer toggled (if auto dimming is NOT enabled)

PEAK RECALL: The gauge offers peak recall of the PEAK VALUE on the selected mode, since the last recall, or since the vehicle was started. In addition to this, for 2008 model year cars the gauge also stores peaks for EGT, Air, Coolant in the background, so that you can switch to that mode later, after a lap for example, and recall your peak temperatures. A quick tap of the Left most button will show your peak value.

RECORD/PLAYBACK: The 15 seconds record/playback feature is available on canbus vehicles only, and provides a way for you to see 15 seconds of historical data from the current mode. Recording is started when the peak recall button is pressed. Simply tap peak recall, do some acceleration, and then after you are able to look at the gauge again, hold the peak recall button and gauge will show you the first 15 seconds of data from that mode, as well as RPM scaled onto the bargraph readout.

ENTER CONFIG:
Simply hold both buttons to enter the config menu, you can do this at any time! RELEASE the buttons 2 seconds after you see the word "Conf" flash on the screen.

SAVING YOUR SETTINGS:
Your settings will not be saved until you exit the config menu by HOLDING the rightmost button until the gauge turns off or resets if your car is running.

Config Button Functions:
Left Button TAP = Change Value
Right Button TAP = Peak Recall
Left Button HOLD = Change Value fast repeat
Right Button HOLD = EXIT and SAVE settings.

On.A = Auto dimmer (must attach green wire to red/gray dimmer line on trunk pop switch or other locations) On.P = persistent dimmer, (stays on last setting after restarts.)

English/Metric
En.Y Y or N or b English units. N = Metric, Y = English, b = Boost only (boost in PSI, all other data in metric)

Boost Pressure Resolution
Pr0.1 0.1 or 0.5 or 1.0 decimal point. 0.1 = tenths, 0.5 is rounded to 5 tenths, 1.0 = whole numbers

Vacuum Bargraph
U.bg.Y Y or N Vacuum bargraph in boost mode - set to N for no bargraph while in vacuum

Boost Reading Selection:
FORD bSt.d for MAP sensor, analog. (Analog is for gauges with boost sender and tubing to manifold using the analog boost sensor connection)

-Make sure the gauge is set to d.On ... if you set the gauge to display off (d.Off) you will need to have the car OFF to re-enter config by holding both buttons.

-Make sure the obd2 connection is secure, try unplugging and re-plugging it a few times with the car running. Some ports can be stiff.

-Check your obd2 port fuse, on a fuse chart this will usually say OBD or DLC.
