Tach wiring
Monday, November 16, 2009 4:11 AM
Question:
I bought a tachometer from Glowshift, and it has four colored wires, an red, green, black, and yellow. I assumed the black was for ground, but I needed to know where the other wires went too.

Also, if anyone knows where I can find a wiring diagram for the actual gauge cluster itself would be nice. Thanks again.


EDIT:
Oh and my cav is a 01 2200. If anyone needed to know, thanks

red - IGN +12v
yellow - headlight switch (lights up the gauge when you turn your headlights on)
green - signal wire. now for this one, chances are you'll need a tach driver, unless the gauge can be set to read 2 cyl. otherwise, summit racing sells the msd DIS tach adapter.

Either find a 00-05 Cav or Fire cluster or find an Autometer 9117 Tach Adapter to use with that tach
