Tap 12v power and ground
An always on 12v connection and ground is necessary for proper
functioning if the Lighted T. The OBD2 connector is provided for this
purpose. Pin 16 provides the 12v connection and pins 4 or 5 ground.
Solder a 18” piece of red lead to pin 16 and an 18” black lead to pin 4
or 5. Do not strip the opposite lead ends at this time. Then locate the
Tesla OBD2 receptacle under the dash above the dead pedal. Place
the connector near the receptacle for later access but do not yet put it
in. The photo to the right shows the location of the Tesla OBD2
receptacle.
Mount the LED controller module and prepare the
connections to the Front T & Arch and LED dash indicator
The LED controller module mounts behind the dash where it is
protected from the weather and within close range of the remote. To
mount it in this location remove the triangular dash side panel by
prying it loose with a plastic trim tool (it’s attached to the dash side
with three spring clips). This will provide access to the space behind
the dash.
Next run the red and black leads from the OBD2 connector into this
space. Using Posi-Lock connectors attach these leads to the
companion red and black leads from the labeled “5-12V” side of the
LED Controller module. Attach Posi-Lock connectors to the red and
black leads on the “LED” side of the LED Controller. These will
connect to the Lighted T and Arch as well as the LED dash indicator.
Prepare 6 inch and 12 foot pieces of black and red wire. Strip one end
of both sets and twist the black and red leads of each together.
Connect the black leads to the Posi-Lock connector attached to the
black lead from the LED Controller. Do the same with the red leads.
