hey guys... i just got my 4 in 1 aftermarket tach and im gonna need serious help installing it.
the thing has 7 wires ( yes... 7!!).

green - i think goes to blue tach wire
black - goes to ground (right?
red - i dunno
orange - i dunno
blue w/ white stripe - i dunno
blue w/ black stripe - i dunno
yellow - i dunno

the gauge is the tach... engine temp... oil temp... and oil pressure

and i have an oil pressure sender for the pressure... but i dunno where to put this. please help

heres a pic of the tach http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...R-5-CARBON.jpg

 

Wow, nice gauge. Black is ground, Red is positive, Orange prolly goes to positive ignition. I thought blue and white goes to the tach wire? Which is under the hood to the right all the way in the back. The other ones I have no idea, someone else will be able to help you more.

 

wrong section, *moved*

 

Where did you get this tach, and why aren't there any instructions?

 

i got it off ebay... i called the place to ask about what wires are for what and he said that he doesnt want to tell me because if i damage it i cant return it and that i should have it done by a profesional. and how do you hook up that oil pressure thing... that has me confused as hell

 

Tell him if he doesn't tell you, you'll return the f*^k#ng tach because there are no instructions.

 

yo... if you guys order anything off ebay... dont order from a store called "speed-index-store" these bastards dont know english.... they reply like idiots... look

Dear Tekk,
I think the professional do the installation mess it all up, please bring it to our profesional, i'm sure he connect all the wires wrong.

i brought it to a professional and he hooked it up and the rpms work but the other gauges shot up all the way and made a 360 to the other side of the needle. can i return the gauge alone for another gauge without returning the wires since they are already all hooked up? thank you.


whats the return process.?


this guy is an idiot.... damn im upset

 

aight guys... i installed the tach and the **** sucks *****.... really inaccurate and the temp gauges dont work at all. i wasted $114 that i didnt have to spend. any1 have any tachs to donate... ...lol. anywayz... lesson learned... dont get cheap stuff off ebay.
