I recently bought a Teleflex analog trim guage to match the existing guages on my boat. I thought this would be a simple 10 minute installation. Putting in the guage was a snap. Now my problem. I can not get anyone, including Yamaha customer service, to give me a definitive straight answer on the wire harness for the trim guage. The engine is a 2005 F115TLRD. After many phone calls, I believe the trim harness is a separate harness from the main engine wire harness. I can trace the two wires (one pink, one black) from the sender up into the motor housing and see where the wires end in a plastic connector and then exit and enter another wire harness (I cannot follow it clearly after that). There is one open four pin plastic connector that has a pink, pink/white and 2 pink/black wires leading to it from the harness that the trim wires go into. I can't tell (and no one can answer at the dealer or Yam cust service) if this is what the trim harness connects to. After hours of research, it appears there is a trim harness sold (part number 6R3-82553-5O) that is what I need. But, at $85 I am not going to buy it unless it is correct. This harness has O, B, P, and Gy wires. I assumes the Pink and Black go to the guage. what about the O and Gy. Any help on exactly what trim harness I need for a non-Yamaha analog guage and where it goes would be very much apprciated.
best to just make your harness and finnish the cobble job. if you use the yamaha harness your going to have to buy the adapter anyway and thats another 40 dollars. in 01 yamaha changed from the 3 wire sender to a standard 2 wire sender. its now just a potentiometer. if the sender resistance is compatible with the guage it works. so use a two wire lead and run it from the gauge to the sender or buy all the correct stuff and do it right. genuine yam stuff is expensive,however it is all plug and play and works very well.if you had purchased the digital multifunction tach you would have about 8 guages,including trim, in one hole.sometimes cheap is a relative term.
thanks for the help rodbolt. Do I just seperate the plastic connector and connect directly to the sender, or do you know what the empty 4 pin connector is for that is pink, pink/whtie, 2 pink/blacks.I would like to "do it right" but I bet its another 50 calls to get the part number for the $40 adapter you referenced. Any additional input?thanks in advance.
6y5-85335-00-00 is the adapter part number and you will also need the trim harness leads from the engine to the boat. if I were you I would spend some time with the o5 rigging guide and the 05 tech guide. your heading down a slippery slope. if the pink and pink black wire plug is not connected what are you using for alarm system? pink/black isoverheat visual, p/w is oil visual and pink is trim. you only need to take the pink trim lead to the guages S terminal.
I found the 05 rigging guide. Where can I find the 05 tech guide?Also, it is still not clear to me WHERE the trim harness lead plugs into? I only see one 4 pin connector with the colors I described earlier?
thats where the harness plugs into, as its not used its obvious you have no visual indicators for the alarm system. the rigging guide has some nice diagrams of where everything is used and where the connectors are.the tech guide does too.
thanks for all the help. 2 last questions.Where can I find the 05 tech quide on-line?Do you have any recommendations for "visual indicators for the alarm system."?Thanks in advance.
I dont think any of them are really online, if you see them post them. myself I would use 5v led's or a water proof minature lamp assy. the warning lamps are similar to a digital logic, the wire is normally open and when the warning is set the ecu takes the wire to ground. I think yamaha actually makes just a lamp kit. I have heard of it but never seen it. your attempting something I wont so all bets are off. the factory yam stuff is plug and play works great never breaks.and as a yamaha dealer tech why would I ever use telejunk?
