Installation Information
Frequently asked questions
(Q) Which Pantera Electronic product should I
install first?
(A) The ATO Fuse Panel is the distribution of
electrical power through out the car. The factory
Fuse panel has many design deficiencies and
cannot be safely repaired. Replace the fuse panel
first.
(Q) Is the temperature sensor for the RFC the
same as the temperature switches in the Fluidyne
radiator?
(A) No, the temperature sensor included with the
RFC is not a temperature sensing switch.
You will need to purchase the Fluidyne radiator
adapter for the sensor.
(Q) Will I need 2 temperature sensors for the RFC
to replace both temperature switches in the
Fluidyne radiator?
(A) No. only the top sensor port is used on the
Fluidyne radiator, the other temperature switch can
be left in as a plug.
(Q) Are Pantera Electronics products compatible
with Bob Timma fuse panel and Rick Mosely relay
kits?
(A) No, it is not recommend to install PE products
with “after-market kits”. “After-market kits” will
require removal before installing PE products.
Many of our customers find it worthwhile to remove
the dated fixes to up-grade to modern technology.
(Q) Are all Pantera Electronic products compatible
with each other?
(A) Yes, all Pantera Electroncis products are
compatible with each other ... some PE installation
manuals specify connections if multiple products
are installed.
(Q) Do I need an Electronic Flasher if I just have
LED tail lights?
(A) It depends on the Bosch model flasher and the
manufacturing revision. Some of the Pantera
flashers will operate with just LED tail lights. If
there is both LED front signal lights and tail lights
an LED type flasher is needed.
There are some instances that the factory flasher
may flash too fast to allow the LEDs to completely
scroll across the tail light lens. In this case the
Pantera Electronics adjustable rate signal flasher is
required.
