#59105, "Tachometer Help, quick question"


          

Hey guys I just bought a new Tach and the wires arent long enough to reach the ECU to connect them. So my questions are:

1- Whats the best way to get the wires into the engine bay
2- Any way I can mount the wires inside the car like the electrical box instead of going to the ecu
3-Anyway I can mount the tach in the glove box easily?

Thanks guys

Nick

1. you can go through a grommet in the vicinity of your steering linkage. Look around, you'll see it. Just use a straightened coat hanger to get it through easier.
2. not sure on that one. probably not since you'll need a signal from the ECU as opposed to a regulated voltage like on an accessory
3. why? the tach is the most useful; instrument in the cluster. you want to see it at all times. If you're racing, you need to look straight ahead, not over in the co-pilot's lap.

Have fun sir!

steering boot under the dash. Poke a hole through it.

Just go to the ecu

I'm sure there is but its pointless IMO.
