Hi,

a new problem has occured: Today after I had done the wiring for the park lights/turn signals I wanted to start my truck to see if it all works correctly.

When I turn the key to the first position ("on") it cranks already. Is it a problem with the switch or with the wiring?


The next thing is the wiring of the tacho. I have a gauge cluster with factory tacho. I got a new harness for that thing as the old one had been cut off and ripped out. So I don't know where it connects to the main harness. My wiring diagrams doesn't show any tacho. It has to plugs and one furcated cable lug. Can anyone provide pics or has a wiring diagramm which shows that?

Greetings
Joern

can't say anything about your tach setup, but for the start situation, obviously you wired something very wrong - need to work with the wiring diagram carefully, you probably have some wires to the wrong terminals on the switch

I can't imagine since it all worked fine until yesterday. I will disconnect the wires from the ignition switch and check how it works.

Doesn't anyone have a pic from the fuse panel where the tach is connected? Or any other information?
