One of those wires is potentially for the light bulb inside the tach. Find that one first. The black should be ground, and the red should be coil, but, how many coils do you have? Mine had 4, and it was the one on the far right that worked the tack, Check it out.

    You shouldn't have anything going to the battery, The light if there is one will connect to the light wire itself, or any hot wire while the bike is running. The ground wire may not be needed either because the tach should be grounded when attached but it also could be rubber mounted, Out of your coil pack there, you should have 2 or more wires, I think it is the red one, But they are probably all different. So,, go back to the light bulb, If you can get it to light up, with or without the black, then you can isolate these things.

    OK, then, I think you either have the wrong wire from the coil, or the tach is shot. I have one of those mini tachs on my monster, and it never would read right, using the original wire from the coil, I never tried a different one. It would always read about 700 rpm. I blamed the tach, but I do not know for sure.

Starrett D125 Digitape 1-Inch x 25 Feet Electronic Tape Measure. How to install the 3 volt battery in it please?

Ask the maker direct. It is nowhere to be found online. Sears is full of doom and gloom. No battery cover with a small screw hold it on?

I have a 2003 spyder eclipse gts 3.0l how do i install a after market tachometer?

I really cannot tell you how to do that. You need to follow the instructions that came with the tachometer.

Please note: I would be very cautious about connecting aftermarket equipment into your computer input or output circuits. These things have been known to cause all kinds of drivability problems as well as make it impossible to pass an emissions test (if it is required where you live).

I have personally seen aftermarket add-on equipment cause everything from engine cylinder misfires to transmission shifting problems to engine stalling and no-starts. I do not recommend using any at all. However, there are usually no problems created by "stand alone" accessories that are powered directly from the battery and do not require splicing into any of the computer circuits.

My professional recommendation on this is that if you think you need a tachometer to operate your vehicle, or you just like the looks of a tachometer bouncing up and down, then you would be money and headaches ahead to buy a vehicle that is equipped with a tachometer from the manufacturer - you may be opening a can of worms that you do not want.

This is just my opinion based on 37 years of experience diagnosing and repairing automobiles (and having to clean-up aftermarket add-on messes) - do with it as you wish.

Headlights wont turn on

Hi, check the fuse for the headlight after shutting off your motorcycle.
There is usually a fuse box under or just near the seat area. Sometimes it is located adjacent to the motorcycle battery. Check your user manual for the fuses location.
If that fuse is OK, remove the headlight element and remove the headlight halogen lamp by gently removing the wiring plug and rotating the halogen lamp that is inside, so you can inspect it for damage. A blown halogen lamp is usually indicated by a white or dark spot inside the glass lamp.

If you have a multimeter set it to Ohms and see if you can get a circuit thru the pins on the rear of halogen lamp before re-installing the lamp. There will be 3 pins - one is a common, one is the low beam, and the other is high beam. You should get continuity using ohms thru each separate pin to the common pin.

Make sure you remove any greasy spots on the halogen lamp before you put it back, as this causes hot spots on the glass and is a common cause of early failures of halogen lamps.

If you are comfortable measuring 12 volts DC with a meter, check that you have 12 volts DC at each pin on the harness which connects to the halogen lamp. Your ignition key will need to be turned on so that indicators and horn etc are all powered up. You normally shouldn't have to have your engine running to check power to your headlight, but it is possible that you may need to do so.
There will be 12 volts on 1 pin only and when you change to high beam that pin will then go dead and the other pin will then have 12 volts DC.
There is also a small chance your headlight relay is bad or has a loose connection. If you know what you are doing it should be easy to locate the headlight relay, otherwise take it to a reputable auto electrician or motorcycle repair shop.

Hello My 18 year old neighbour bought his first car last week, a '95 Chrysler Stratus 2.0 with manual gear box. Now the tachometer is broken, I was told that there were some plastic parts inside it...

the engine has a rev limiter inbuilt,so after 6250 revs it will cough and sputter.the rev counter is for people who drive to strict rev limits to conserve fuel,and the obvious drivers who drive to the max power/engine revs for "fun"most men drive to the "sound" of the engine,so a rev counter is excess to requirements....save your money.(once he gets his "no claims discount" down he will buy a bmw anyway.........)

Inicator fault

it sounds like there is toooo much current going through your system, check how much voltage comes to the indicator when you rev it up with the multimeter if more than 13.5v check regulator

Car: Nissan Maxima SE 1997 tachometer broken

the dash voltage egulator probably went bad. First,check the battery & make sure you have 12 volts,not running. Check it again running & you should see about 14.5 volts. If that's good,I'd replace the guage assembly.
