GAUGE SETUP
The GREEN switch input wire, in the two pin connector, is used to enter setup. If you are only
installing one or a couple Dakota Digital MCL-3K gauges set up may seem a little strange since they are
designed to work as a set, however you’ll simply cycle through a few screens to get to the desired gauge.
The table below shows what will be on the gauge with each button press, or tapping the GREEN wire
high +12V.
