  • What pin for tach?

    The pin for the tach is #9 on the black plug, on the back of the cluster.

      I haven't ever seen the pins identified by a number in the manual or EVTM, but it is the yellow with green tracer wire.

That diagram (in post 6 of the thread) is not completely accurate tho; I am currently looking at the back of both a white and an orange tach cluster, and the pins are not exactly as they describe it.

        On the back of the orange tach cluster, but not the white one, is a lot of information as to what does what. And pins 1 and 12 are marked on both the white plug's pins and the black plug's pins. The white and black plugs themselves are also marked, 1 - 12.

          I was confused by the EVTM as to the pin positions for the longest time, even with both diagrams for Orange and White face types. They are the same for both, and can be swapped with no modification of harness. This includes std vs tach types. Only differences that I have run into were ABSOLUTE base models 1988&9 that did not have wiring for options included on the harness. For them *only* will you need to add wiring for the tach, power mirrors, rear wiper etc.

            Right, I know that any tach cluster is plug and play, at least for any 90-up car.
