I hooked my tach up and nothing is working except the lights. Im not sure whats wrong. Any information is greatly appreciated.

 

why do you need an aftermarket tach?

 

I dont have a after market tach. Its just not working.... After market tachs are for douches. LOL

 

oh.. LOL. uhhh did you plug it in? lol

 

gonna need a bit more info.

 

It should just plug into the wiring harness. Check the line for a "pulse". I remember my Neon had an aftermarket tach that didn't work . . .I read the Haynes manual and found the proper line to hook it too . . .bam.

If the original connections don't work, find that line (Hit up Autozone, Advance or O'Reilly for the manual if necessary) and get it going.

doesn't plug into any wiring harness. you must tap the signal wire into the ignition coil signal wire.

 

That's what I figured, but I also assumed (probably part of my problem) that if it's the stock gauge cluster that there's a hook up for it or something.

 

the signal wire for the tach is part of the smaller body harness. to the side of the ecu.

 

Explain? Im trying not to be too slow. lol
Everything is plugged up. I don't know what it is.

 

the signal wire from the aftermarket tach goes to the Positive wire on the Ignition coil. I made this from the FSM....... the red line is pointing to the location of the wire you must tap into. Its been years since I hooked one up... so you will have to test with a volt meter or test light to see which wire carries the juice.

 

Okay so that helps a little. But its not aftermarket. So I thought it would just plug right in and work.. If this one is just a little *** then i might have to get a aftermarket one..
