The neutral safety and backup light features do not have to be connected for gear sender to
work. These are optional features provided for vehicles which do not already have these
provisions.
CONNECTING SENSOR TO DECODER
The sensor has a 10 foot gray cable attached to it. This cable contains three wires which
connect to the decoder. Connect the RED wire to the terminal marked RED Connect the GREEN
wire to the terminal marked GREEN. Connect the BLACK wire to the terminal marked BLACK.
CONNECTING TO THE GEAR SHIFT DISPLAY
Gear shift displays are not included with the GSS-2000, but it will interface with all of the
standard display systems available. Each gear output will provide 12 volts at up to 0.3 amperes or
can be programmed to provide grounding outputs. This is enough current capacity for any LED
indicator or low power incandescent bulbs. When individual lights are used for each gear, connect
the negative wire to ground and the positive wire to the appropriate gear output terminal on the
decoder. When using Dakota Digital’s Digital Gear Shift Indicator connect the wires to the
decoder according to the instructions provided with the indicator. The GSS-2000 will also work
with any Dakota Digital vacuum florescent display system. Connect wires between the decoder
and the display system control box.
