AAW and Dakota digital questions

[rittenrotton 4]

I tried using a ground wire I attached to the body but it didn't seem to work. I am going to try attaching a ground wire to on of the tank's mounting bolts and see how that works. Thank you VIcfreg!

Right, or just use the alligator clip to clip it physically on the gas tank, like right at the sender or to the hard fuel line coming out of the sender

After speaking to Dakota Digital tech support, I discovered that the red wire from the transmission sending unit was powered and was overwhelming the control box (as it shouldn't be powered on its own; it gets power from the control box). Now everything works perfectly! Thanks for the help!

 

Just two more question for you Vicfreg..Did you have to drill a hole in the fenderwells to run that wire? Also, how did you patch/close up the original holes on the firewall where the factory wiring was run?

I can send you some pics of the fenderwell wiring, was a bit of work. Let me find them and I will post in a few days

I also ran the wiring under the fenders, I drilled new holes in the rear inner fender panels below the hood hinges where the harness goes under the fender, & used existing holes in the front inner fender panels where the harness comes back in to the engine compartment.

What did you do about the square hole where the original harness connected to the inside of the car?

[Vicfreg 791]

Plugged it with a big rubber body plug, then put Dyna Mat on the firewall side to seal it
