Dakota Digital 3 operation manual Control BOX Mounting, Wiring the control box into the vehicle

CONTROL BOX MOUNTING

Once the display panel is in place, mount the control box within reach of the ribbon cable on the display panel (approximately 3 feet). Pick a mounting location that will allow you access to wire all of the inputs on the control box. Double sided tape, hook and loop fasteners, or screws in the two tabs on the case work fine for securing the control box under the dash.

When selecting a mounting location, avoid placing the control module next to, or just opposite of the firewall, from ignition components, ie: Ignition coil, HEI, etc. Ignition components can emit tremendous amounts of electric noise, affecting the operation of electrical components.

Wiring the control box into the vehicle

While the control box contains several connections, the wiring is straightforward. Depending on how many auxiliary functions you want displayed, not every terminal will be used in most applications. Below we describe the function of each terminal, what they do, and how to wire them.
