Replacing Javelina monitor.

I'm in the process of replacing the old CRT javelina monitor with the LCD Pyle monitor, but I'm not getting a signal.
 Where do I connect the Pyle inputs?

Moby Don't know for sure but the yellow cables that you're trying to hook up from the monitor are video cables. So you would hook it up to the javelina computer output. The same wire that goes to the javelina monitor. I did away with the whole system completely. So I can't completely confirm your wiring system.

As far as I know, the system is stock.
I'm ASSUMING the silver box is the computer you're talking about.
Again, ASSUMING the upper video cable (the one still connected) comes from the backup cam. Wire harness on right side of silver box are control wires and input from tank sensors. Disconnected video looks like it goes to CRT.
 I may have just purchased the wrong adaptors.

Silver box looks like it has BNC connectors.

Moby,

I recently replaced my camera and monitor also.  On mine, the coaxial cable you see hooked up goes to an input on the monitor to give the tank level screen and the compass screen.  The coaxial input that you see on my computer without a cable attached was where the coax from the old rear camera attached.  Hope this helps.

 Thanks.
  That's EXACTLY what I needed.
I ordered the wrong adaptors and tried to hook the new monitor up backwards.

SUCCESS!!!
Correct jumper cable arrived today & time to get to work.
Discovered that old CRT unit had a dead short, blowing the dash fuse.
SNIP SNIP, no more short.
Tested connections for power & video. All ok.
Splice into old power lines for CRT unit, test again & mount.
No more guessing about levels and how much LPG I have.

Silver guy to the right is the remote control to the monitor.  A guy can never have too many remotes!
Next up: fixing the backup camera (is there a direct replacement out there?) And the side view.
