Hey guys, the PO of my 08 510 SMR installed a trailtech Vector. Any ideas on how i could restore the low fuel light? I track miliage but it would be nice to have a light just for piece of mind. Thanks!
You'd probably need the OEM dash, there are 2 wires that come out of the tank, that indicate low fuel, but who knows what the 2 wires communicate, or how to interface that data with the TT. My low fuel mechanism broke off inside the tank from rough riding and I have always used the tripometer as a fuel level indicator so.....
One of the 10 wires going into the plug for the original dash will be 12V "hot" when the fuel is low. The wires are color coded and can be identified on the schematic. (W/Y (white/yellow) position 9 in 2010 manual) Wire this to a little indicator light from an auto store. The other side to ground. The indicator "dash" from TrailTech has four built in indicator lights. Hook the low fuel wire to one of them. Could also do N indicator and turn signal.
