red wire is power...get a male fuse kinda thing and plug into an unused spot in your fuse panel by your knee.

black wire: ground it to any metal

green wire: pop your hood..driver side..near firewall...see that wire with the black cap/plug on it? tap into that wire. its tach signal

white wire..i dunno youre on ur own.

Default Re: need help with tach.. (Spade)

i am trying to wire my tach tonigh and i can't get the thing to illuminate correctly. i poped out my dimmer switch and when i hook the white autometer wire to one of the red wires coming off the dimmer switch, tach lights up with the lights and won't dim. if i hook it up to the other red wire, tach dims when dash gets brighter and tach gets brighter when dash dims, and it never seems to get full bright. wtf is up with that??
