JammieLittleStarlet Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Wel basically.. how do i wire it up mate? is there already a connector for it? or will i have to do all the wiring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 you will have to do the wiring mate if its an aftermarket tachoits usually four wires..........red = a switch 12v (something that only comes on when the ignition is turned)black = earthwhite = dash lights (for the back light)green = rpm signal/ ignition coil (which can be taken from the diagnostics box)its not major difficult really but you will need to know a little about wiring.

keirz Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 no pics mate im afraid. the best way to do it is to wire in near your fuse box under the drivers side. ie, find the fuse for the headlights and follow the wires. if you buy the tacho it will more than likely have fitting insructions to help you out.the wires will need to be spliced into other wiresyou may be best taking it somewhere if your not sure. im sure places that fits alarms or car sterios may do it.

RobSR Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 dont bother taking the rpm signal off the coil take it off the ecu, its easier... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
