I have a 5" tach that i have mounted on my door all of the wires are ran and everything but i can not find the signal wire, for instance you would normaly install it to the negative on the coil but a 98 maxima has a distribuless ignition and i don't know where to conect it, i was thinking it would be the crankshaft sensor or maybe the camshaft, but i don't want to mess anything up so im asking for your help. Thanx in advance.

 

why are you installing the tach in the first place???

 

and why on the door? why not on the dash somewhere? but yea, on the why in the first place

 

do a search for this. I know you tap into the ecu for this, but again...
WHY the un-needed tach man
I'll look in my FSM if i get a chance tonight.

 

you need to tap into the wire that is already going to the tach you have on the dash. we all need a second tach on our door, so you can take your eyes off the road, and stare at the door.

 

I think you forgot to write EYES SXN...

 

yea i did, edited, thanks...tired

 

THIS THREAD SUCKS


Please do not install a ricer NASCAR tach on a Maxima! Good GOD!!! Go buy a Civic!

 

make sure it has a huge blue shift light, especially if its an automatic

 

hahahahahahaha................

 

My car came with a tach.

 

You mean like this one?

 

mny car came with a tach as well, it is right next to the speedometer.

 

Well, not to play the devil's advocate but I too have a tach but it doesn't work! I hate driving without one so I was glad to see this post because I am curious if and where other would put one. I don't wanna' look like a honda but at the same time for how I drive I need a tach. What costs more: and new auxilary tach or a new gauge cluster to fix the original tach?

-Lieb-

 

linkage i will give you that one. if yours does not work just as long as it is not as big as your face.

 

Thanx for all your guys's BS, for the information i got the tach with all of my pod gauges, so i decided to install it but don't want to have it on the dash cause down here in utah people like the copy other people but i just want my car to be different, and that is the reason, i thought this web site is where u can get help not whole bunch of bs.

 

did we mentuion the NO WHINING POLICY

 

jees........ Someone just help the ppor kid out instead of ripping on him. I don't know why you want a tach but more power to you!

 

we did...u need a line for power, and the signal line for your existing tach. we told him that

 

and how do you guys know that i have my origirnal tach in, well i do but how do you know that im going to have 2 tach in the near future, sorry but i think that some of u guys talk alot of ****, i don't see y you guys should be worring what other people get in their cars, sorry if i offended anyone but i just think that's bs....

 

because its a huge part of your dash...unless u custom worked a lot of crap, u would either have 2 tachs or a big hole in your dash. stop complaining jeebus

 

blah blah blah it is a place of oppinion as well. and they were given. do not take things so seriously. who cares what other perople htink. if you like it then put it on the car.

 

oh hell yes

 

everyone need to chillllll. I'm known to get on the flame bus too, but I'll give him thise one, my tach and coolant temp doesnt work So I been thinking about getting a non monster tach to put on my steering column a little offset. I dont find it ricey since no one could see it and its functional. But I have been goin on a bad tach for almost a year and never really needed one to drive, I just find myself going to the bar and having people drive my car home. Their not used to a dead tach. Wow what a boring story i have, Toodles.
