Yeah, you've got it right. Make sure your ground is good...

 

is the illumination for the high or low beams i made that mistake once and it only would light up when i turned on high beams

low beams or you can look in the underdash fuse box, look for the gauge cluster light fuse and wrap around one side, stick it back in. It would light up everytime you turn the low beams/interior/gauge cluster lights on. Ghetto but you can always buy a fuse tapper but no need for that

 

how come my rpm from the autometer arent correct when im driving? please help


thanks

 

need help

 

are the rpms too high or too low? by how much? what color are the wires that are cut in the back?

 

thats what I told him... apparently the tach isn't calibrated right for a 4 cylinder

 

its calibrated just fine if you install it right. mine works fine and is almost dead on with the stock tach and only off at high rpms, and off by like 300. well i dont want to say that its off, the stock one is off, the autometer is more accurate.

 

well all of the colors were cut but i replaced the 4 main wires..

 

yeah, the stock tach is ussually off, especially in the upper rpms. Thats really the only reason to get an aftermarket tach.

Just make sure all your connections are good, ground to teh chassis, but scrape off any paint to make sure you get a good contact. Other than that you should be set.

are the rpms too high or too low? and by how much? i wasnt referring to the main wires, there should be smaller wires in 2 loops. you cut the loops accordingly for 4 clyinder. if you have brown and orange, cut both. if you have brown and blue cut the blue and make sure the brown is connected (if it was cut)

 

its high .. its around 6000 wen it idles..
