Default led skull gas gauge

I just put the skull led gas gauge on my spring softtail (fuel injected) and I'm not sure where the gray wire goes under the speedometer.....can anyone help with this??? I've tried two different places (it says something about a yellow/white wire, but the one I found isn't working. Thanks!!

I don't think even the Harley techs know! I had mine put on at Trivetts in Sydney. The first time they did it, the low fuel light would come on when the tank was FULL and after they "fixed it" no low fuel light comes on the dash anymore! How hard could it possibly be?

Doing most stuff myself from now on. Get the boys over, put on a bbq and beer and you're off and racin'!

I have this on my bike . It is the yellow and white wire under the dash . The reason your low fuel light wont come on is because you are replacing that light with the led red light that comes on the skull when fuel is low . Why do you say its not working ? have you run it low and the red light doesnt come on ? If you hook that wire to the correct spot when the fuel is low you should have no blue lights just red and nothing happens on the dash anymore . Hope that wasnt to confusing

That's a pretty common fix when they don't know what to do. Disconnect the warning light and it will never be on at the wrong time.

It has been a few weeks since I did mine, but it seemed to me there were two wires that were similar in colour. I think it was pin 9, or something. I used a safety pin to pop out the original, and put the grey wire into that slot. The low fuel light on the dash ISN'T supposed to work anymore. The LED skull gauge handles that job for you, if properly installed. The left hand most light goes solid red when you're at about 1/3 of a tank (roughly 1.7 U.S. gallons), and it starts blinking when you hit about the 3 litre point. (about .8 of a U.S. gallon...) Check the tech section for pointers. I found some tips there that definitely helped when I was installing mine. Good luck. It is a bit of a P.I.T.A. to install, but once it is in, it looks supremely cool IMHO.

Can you tell me does the wire go into the speedo or into the tank itself?? I had a wiring diagram of the speedo and I didn't see any wire going into port 9, although I'm pretty sure that's what the instructions said (which I've since misplaced!!).
Thanks
