I'm starting to go crazy and feeling stupid. I removed my dash and am putting it back together. Everything is working good but I dont remember how the tach hooked up. Ive seen many diagrams online but dont seem to help. Are there any pictures out there of behind the dash? Thanks

Mine is a painless wire harness to crown tach if that helps... 3 wires

Looking at my '85-'86 wiring diagram, Use a yellow wire from the turn fuse, violet wire that comes from the dark green wire at the ignition coil, and a black ground wire.

Ugh so I finally figured it out. I had the ignition hooked up like it would be for base model, not Laredo . I'll take some pictures in case others have ever ran into this.
