so there is a tacho in my bus , not op. cos it isn"t wired, thou wires are hanging loose in engine comp. i checked em out wiv meter (yup, they are all the same bleedin" colour !) wired one 2 the pos. side of coil and one to other side of coil and earthed it , fired her up and sure enough tacho seems to work ok (tacho make is "siren"?)opinion please from yourselves re this wiring , is it appropriate/ safe ? ta for any advice
what make is it - we have a VDO kit from JK, the instruction guide is very clear and concise! (Dont ask me how we wired it, the diagram is 12 miles away)!
ta people, it"s a "SIREN????, really looks like it"s as old as the van! it is , as said , working, just i need good tlb folk to comment as my bus went on fire cos previous owner messed wiv elecs and on purchase i did not do even a cursory elec check ! (i know !!!) you may understand my fear ??!!
normally earth coil negative terminal switched live and + and - for the light wired mine this afternoon
coolio advice people , any switched live would suffice ? i wired live to coil cos wire was in engine bay , assuming? it isn"t nec. to take feed off coil, i could perhaps jump off the rear of headlamp switch ?, thinking of cable run length
