- Sun Mar 29, 2009 10:04 pm #106552 did it come with instructions? I know some tachometers have 'pills' that you can put in to set the shift light to a certain rpm.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Tue Mar 31, 2009 7:33 pm #106915 The color of the wire doesn't tell us anything. We need to know if it's for tach signal, power, illumination, or ground.

By the way it's not a "rev counter" it's a tachometer.

- Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:31 pm #106938 Sorry lol, but this kind of thing doesn't suit me i'm trying to learn as I go, How would I find out what it is? Just use a volt meter, There was no instruction manual that came with it, it was in my old car that I wrote off and it was all wired up before, I didn't do the conversion so I never saw where it came from

- Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:56 pm #106952 every tach that ive seen the tach signal is the green wire, green goes to the blue wire behind ur cluster, red and yellow is power (switched 12v) white wire is ur ground, hope that helps and that it works out.

- Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:57 am #107097 Red should be from a key on source and when possible take the white/(in your case)yellow to a dash light, that way your tach light will dim with the rest.

Neither have i seen a tach that the green wire was not tach signal.tap into blue wire behind cluster.

Give him a break. Let them have their "Windscreens", "Wings", "Bonnets", "Boots", "Boot lids", "Gearboxes", "Aluminium", and "Rev counters"

Oh, do they really call it that? I heard everything else in your list but I chalked up "rev counter" to nooby-ness. My bad.

Don't forget "tarmac". I used to watch WRC and I was like "What's that? Are they talking about the airport?"

And "mags".

- Wed Jun 17, 2009 2:30 pm #123616 im wiring a tachometer myself, and there is a green wire which is for tach signal where does this go, is it a blue wire behind the dash clocks or a blue wire in the engine?????
