Re: Tachometer red wire connection (jdl3000)

i'm assuming it's a aftermarket tach. i hooked it up to the gauge fuse so only when the idiot lights come on does it work. What car is it for? i'll see of i can look up colors tomaro.

Re: Tachometer red wire connection (crx_88_si)

yup crx_88_si is correct. just installed mine 2 nights ago with crx_88_si help.

i believe the left one is ign power. and the right is light power.. so hook up your 12v in the left and your light to the right of that and your good to go..
