black=ground
white=12 volt switched
blue=???
red=???

 

how do you know white is 12v?

black-ground
white-dimmer
blue-sender
red-12V

Does this help?

 

No

 

Your friend gave you the probe too, right?

 

what is the probe?? you mean the sender?? isnt the probe for the mechanical version?? i dont have the sender because the gauge came from a friends front clip and the sender was missing

 

It's not going to work without the probe. It is the most important piece of the gauge setup. Where do you think the gauge will get a signal from? It's not going to come from the stock water temp sensor.

 

yeah you need the probe, then the blue sender wire gets twisted to the top (i wrapped that wire around that top screw) at the top of the probe..
