ISSPRO TTM problem??
I hooked up my TTM as to instructions and no-worky??
The only possiable explanation is that I hooked it to the wrong Ignition wire. I found some information on the web and FTE that said (on 1999-up Super Duty Trucks, this is the large 10-gauge red wire with black stripe in the main harness), is this correct? I have power to the unit, its grounded correctly, I ran the pyro wires myself, what else could it be but the wrong Ign. wire.
Thanks

I connected the Pyro lead to my existing Autometer Pyro Thermo Coupler located at the exhaust manifold, could there be a compatibility issue? I did purchase the Isspro Thermo Coupler, but I thought it would be better to use the one I had, instead of drilling a hole in my Downpipe post turbo. How have you guys wired yours?

TTM??? I installed the ISSPRO Boost and EGT gauges in my new pod last evening. I'll be installing the rest of the wiring and plumbing in the truck this weekend. So I can't answer your question completely, but I have heard that the thermo couples of different manufactures are not compatible with others/gauges. The gauges interpret the signals differently. (actually I think the resitance in the circuit is different) I would think there's possibility that using the incorrect thermo couple could damage an EGT gauge.
I plan on documenting/photographing this gauge install and submitting to Tim for inclusion in the Tech Folder.

What year truck?
2003 (red with yellow trace) is where to connect switched ignition power. Instrument lighting power (Light Blue with Red tracer or Yellow with no tracer wire.
For 12V Ign. switched: Using a voltmeter, ground the black lead from the meter to chassis ground. With the red lead off the meter, probe the 12V Ign. switched source. You should read 12-13VDC when the Ign. key is turned on, and 0V when the key is off.

Got it, thanks. It turned out to be the same wire I hooked the Ignition sorce for my guages. Works great.
Ever since I got the gauges I would have the 1000 yard stare at the pyro waiting for it to cool down. I can now walk away from the truck, with it running, lock it with the keyless and not worry about it. Great product

Yeah, Which one? You mentioned Red/yellow trace. Where exactly? My question is, what's the best source for 'Key On' power for accessories? Not just for this instumentation, but for adding auxililiary lights or whatever, (through additional fused relay circuit). I found one circuit that I hooked my driving lights to, but it's hot with the key in any position other than off. I'm looking for a 'Key On' hot circuit. Do you know of an unused fuse socket that provides this? Are most people tapping/splicing wire looms or going to the fuse panel under the dash? Does anyone know of a fuse, with a pigtail sticking up for external connections?

The lights I installed are independant of the truck wiring and will turn on at anytime. If you wish you can find a keyed ignition 12v wire to activate your light switch. I would not tap into the headlights for an active source.
Drop the panel under your steering wheel and you can find a good source. Always check with a volt meter. Your not powering the lights, only giving a signal to the relay through the switch. Find your source,do an inline fuse then power the switch.
Sorry I did not have much time today to search the diagrams for an 04....I'll get back to ya.
