lighting quesion
« on: July 26, 2008, 04:18:40 PM »
Hello, I am trying to get my speedo and tach lights working. All other lights work fine and I cant figure out why these lights wont go. Isnt all the lights running together or on the same common current? Any tips would be great!

1st Can you verify power in getting to the instruments?

Check your fuses then even a fuse that seems good could be bad so replace with new one to eliminate that as an issue.

what i would do is find a wire that is constant feed when the key is on and splice your lights into that wire. unless your trying to keep your harness together then maybe its a ground issue?
