I have a factory Tachometer that I picked up for the CJ, I did not pull it. I need to wire it but I do not know how critical the polarity is. If there is an unprotected transistor in the circuit and I get it backwards, it will be toast. It has a red w/white trace and a red w/black trace. the FSM shows two red wires the Chilton's and Haynes have no mention of it. I am hoping some one has a better reference source than I do. :cool:
 
thanks sly but it's the same thing I have, two red wires. update, the tach has a red with white trace and a solid red. one had black spray paint from PO.:cool:

See if this will work.Click on it anyway if its blank

LMAO you've been POed again.
 
regardless of what the PO did to the tach I still don't know what the polarity is for sure or if it is important. I guess with the FSM not showing a polarity I can hope there is none.:confused:
