alright, i bought a tach from autozone, because my car is a CX and doesnt come with a tach. my brother mounted it and did everything for me. we started it up the light worked and everything. the tach was way off at first and he messed with it a little til it worked, but it was idling at 2100 rpm( i think it is wrong) my car has no problems at all, so its not my car. i went to start it up the next day and everything worked except for the tach rpm reading. it was idling below the 0 and wen i revved it, it went backwards. so my brother disconnected the green wire and now he's being a giant deusche so im doing it myself. please share all info you have or any past expieriences.








were wut wire do i tap into and how exactly do i do it.




thank you, please explain in detail not good with electrical at all.

There may be/should be a small switch on the back of the tachometer that allows you to select how many cylinders the engine has.

Make sure that it is set to "4".

isnt there a wire you can hook it up to on the harness that plugs into the cluster? and then theres a single wire on the driver side of the engine bay closeer to the firewall you can hook it up to

and lastly... why didnt you just buy a ex/hx/lx cluster? try and return that and ill sell you an ex cluster

Wouldn't be very smart considering he got it for free. I highly doubt you'll sell him an EX cluster for cheaper than that...

how much, last time someone said they would sell me an EX cluster they never responded and i had the money and everything, how many miles does it have on it? im also not sure b/c my car is only 117,000 miles and if i decide to sell the car they might not believe me about the actuall miles. but yea hit me up with some pics, i got money.

there should be a sender wire near the fire wall on the driver's side that is blue connected to a harness with a black rubber cover

that tach you have one there = rice

i know, its not really rice, at least its not a huge 5 inch tach w/ a huge *** shiftlight. the reason i got mine is because its subtle and small.

EK9Rider

go with a oem cluster with tach -- you'll like it a lot more.

i suggest go with one off an si - they're nice.

Just in case you might have the same problem I incountered the tach might have a small switch on the back to select what cycle motor 4,6, 8. If its wrong you get wrong reading. I had it right but bumped it somehow and eventually figured it out.

Nice green wire I used the same shizz from Kragen ha ha.

Also you don't have to connect the RPM wire to the Dizzy Their is a blue wire on the harness at the right of the hole on ur firewall. Regardless if your car comes with a tach or not you should still have a RPM signal blue wire on the harness. If I have time I'll take a pic and post it.

PEACE
