what the hell are you doing? you need to tell us.
odds are its for a 12v constant or ignition source
but i dont know, because we have no idea what your doing.

red and white you can run to a power source, whit is illumination, red is power
Green is to read the Rpms (distributer or coil whatever)
and black to ground.

No your tach is fine mine does the same thing don't worry about it, i have a pro comp II so it will work fine.

red = 12V when car is on
white = 12V when lights are on (possibly dash dimmer depending on the car)
black = Ground
Green = rpm signal

well if you twist the red and the white together, the light on the tach will always be on. theres a nice little thing honda added on the fuse box, pre wired for 12v constant, 12v ignition, 12v light....all that good stuff. what kind of car is it?

The red wire gets ignition power. There are a couple extra pins above the fuses, one is ignition pwr. The green wire doesnt have to go all the way to the distributor. Its wired right behind the stock gauges, dont just have one ghetto wire running through the engine bay.
