Does anyone know how to adjust the contrast on the speedo and tach backlight while driving at night? I can't find anything in the Owners or Service manual?
thanks,
diesel
This may not help you because I am not familiar with Tri-Glides, but I know you have a speedo & a tach. These are the instructions to the HD speedo/tach the "Dyna" Family can upgrade to. It's worth a shot.
You will only need 1, 2, 6, 7, & 14 of course.
1. Turn ignition switch to ACC
2. Press and hold both turn signals until fuel level bars are displayed with "ON/OFF" flashing. Setup will also appear. If "On" is flashing, the fuel level display is enabled.
3. To disable fuel level press and hold both turn signals until "OFF" is flashing.
4. Toggle over to gear indication by pressing the right turn signal where the the six gears will be displayed with "ON/OFF" flashing. If "ON" is flashing the gear indication display is enabled.
5.To disable gear indication press and hold both turn signals untill "OFF" is flashing.
6. Toggle over to brightness menu by pressing the right turn signal where all the bars and "BRIGHT" will be displayed.
7.To dim the backlight press and hold both turn signals until "dim" and half of the bars are displayed.
8. Toggle over to the color menu bu pressing the right turn signal where "ALL" and "COLOR" will be displayed.
9. To change color press and hod both turn signals where the current color number will be displayed.
10. For course adjustment, press (and hold) left turn signal to count down and right turn signal to count up incrementally.
11. For fine adjustment press (and quickly release) left turn signal to count down and right turn signal to count up incrementally.
12 Once desired color is selected press and hold both turn signals until "SAVED" is displayed.
13. To change the color for the other 4 components (dial, speedometer pointer, tach pointer and display) toggle over to the color menu by pressing the right turn signal and follow steps 7 thru 10.
14. Once desired setup and colors are finalized, turn ignition switch to the IGN position and verify settings.
