Ok in a vl i have just wired up a tacho

on the back of the cluster there is a black plug which is the main plug for the cluster

on that plug in one of the corners is a RED with BROWN wire that is the signal wire for the tacho so just splice into it and connect your signal wire from your monster tacho to that wire....

there is also a negative wire on the back of the cluster so you can splice into that too....

and get your test light and check which has power there should be only one when ignition is off
when you turn your lights on to parkers there should be power to a ???Brown??? wire i think it is and you splice into that for your tacho light so when you turn your lights on the tacho light comes on!

VP Calais
my car club is in the process of building up a drag car out of a VP commodore.

We have stripped the entire interiour out including the dash/cluster etc.

Wanting to hook up a tacho separately and have tried every combination of wires to get it to register. Will a tacho work regardless of whether the cluster is connected up or not? Should it matter at all?

cheers.

3.8 V6 Vitara
Hey guys, I have a Suzuki Vitara that my son has brought off trade me here in NZ, it has a VP 3.8 V6 in it, the guy my son brought it off hasn't tied up all the loose ends so im slowly doing it up so we can get off roading in it. The vitara dash is gone, so im setting up my own gauges in it. So far I have got fuel, temp, oil press working. I am now stuck on the tacho, I've got a wiring diagram that tells me the signal wire for it should be brown, Ive connected that and the gauge doesnt like it, must be cause it is a digital pulse as has been posted on here, so i cannot find the brown/red wire or the other one with the white connector that other people have in their factory looms. Is there an output from the ecu or anything that has the correct signal? as the ecu is easily accessible for me.

Any help appreciated
