Tach wiring help!
Alright, I've seen the DIY thread by sanityassassinv2, and I've read some of the other posts about installing an aftermarket tach, but it's still all in a different language to me. I can find bolts and pins and ties and work with them as easy as drinking water, but when it comes to wiring, I'm pretty much the worst. I've got a cheapo Sunpro Supertach 2, fyi. So:
1. does anyone have pictures of the fuse port where the red wire is supposed to be put into 2. which exactly is the ecu wire that the green wire is supposed to be spliced with 3. there was a brown wire that controls the illumination to the radio I believe, but which is it? There's multiple brown wires that I'm looking at. I believe that this thread, if replied to in enough detail (with photos, obviously) would be beneficial to anyone looking to install an aftermarket tachometer who has absolutely no ability to work with wiring. Thanks y'all! |

here's pictures originally posted by kurokoma-kun
As far as I understand for the '08 models the tach wire is actually orange, so be mindful of that :)

Wow. This was actually incredibly helpful. I had absolutely no idea the fusebox was on the bottom of that whole assembly. Whooh. Looks like I have to do a bit of rewiring.
Would you, by any chance, know which wires the illumination wire would be able to connect to? |
