After sacrificing entire weekends back-to-back with long and grueling hours on all days, I was eventually able to heat shrink the last splice, pull the final zip tie, and complete the packaging and wiring work. <\/p>\n
My concerns were laid to rest when the MXG powered right up at the turn of the key. I transmitted the configurations and the display readouts all appeared to be in working order – with the exception of the fuel level. This was the most intricate input as I had to use a patch cable with a built in pull-up resistor to convert the fuel level sender’s resistance signal to voltage. As I would later discover through my talks with Josh Hanrahan of AiM Sports<\/a>, the 1800ohm resistor I was originally sent would not provide an optimal resolution for the sender’s designated 7.4-75.9ohm range. Instead, after working out the calculations, a 1000ohm resistor would give me more accurate values. <\/p>\n
