aight, my friend has a 5" faze tach that he is going to give me that he got from a friend awhile back ..... and neither of us know how to instal the tach .. so i was wondering if anyone may know how too .. or know a site that tells how too ... im going to be putting it in my 91' ef hatch for the time being till i get a actaul cluster with a tach .. but im only doing it because its free ...

i have only seen the tach one tiem and i know it has these wires running from it ... red, black, green, then i think there was two wire that ran side by side then seperated .. idk, i dont really remember ... but any help would be appreciated

 

red connect to a power source thats always on i think
black just ground to the body
green connect to the blue wire coming out of the plug on the back of the cluster, or you can connect it to the distributor but thats more work then is needed.

if im wrong someone will say something im sure. i did this last year.

 

u should also have a white wire....connect this one to ur corner light wire wo have it illuminate when when its dark.
when i had mine i connected the red wire to the fuse box for power

 

ya i was trying to remember what colour the wire was for the light.. connect it to corner lights or head lights. or anything that turns on when you turn the lights on lol

 

i used the cig. lighter harness to run the 3 wires to....and for the 4th blue wire (tach signal), i went straight into the back of the cluster....was easy to do and works and looks great...no wires in sight

 

aight thanks .. whats a good spot to mount it since its a 5" tach and its only 2" thick .... i tried to the left hand side of the dash but it doesnt site that good and i dont wanna mount it to the a-pillar .. i'll try to wire it up next time my friend comes over

 

Yeah there should be red-12v,black-ground,green-ignition signal,white-illumination...tap into the dimmer for illumination so it will dim with everything ,that's i did...The 2 wires that run with eachother ,,are they black and kind of thick? if so they're for a shift light most likely...

 

I think there are 5 wires. A red, green, and black together. Red = power, black =ground, green = tach signal. Then there are two wires that run through a box and an inline fuse. One of them goes to the lights (should be red/black I think) and the other goes to ground I think.

 

 

sell it, and just get a stock cluster with the tach..... btw...does anyone know how long it takes for me NOT to be a trial user? and post more then 5 times a day?

that diagram doesnt really help .. cause it has the green, red, black, and white wires by thee self .. then there are two wire that run into a box then run out the other side .. i think "sitinthehall" described it right
