Hi guyz

I was connecting the 3 wires of the tacho (green, black, red) with 3 wires behind the cluster and now my car doesnt start anymore, why is that?

This is how I connected:

Green - cluster signal
red - cluster ignition power
black - cluster ground

I stripped cluster wires and connected together with tacho wires and taped it up correctly so why my car doesnt start anymore? is it because i have rsm installed or i stripped the ignition power? But i reconnected and it still doesnt work.

Please help guyz! i'm stuck at the moment. Need my car for work tomorrow!

Please reply my thread asap. Thanks!!!!!!!

Cluster has no reason to screw up ignition.

check your fuse box, maybe youve connected a wire incorrectly and caused a power surge to the ignition.

maybe?

yea i was too excited and couldnt wait to start the car to test the tacho if it works so when i start the ignition it wouldnt start then i start to panic, thought i'd need to spend another couple of hundred bucks to fix it lolz but then realised the ecu plug was still out so i was like YES! THERES A CHANCE ... then started the car >>> YAYYYY!! PHEWWW! should've seen my face hey.... but its allllllllllll goood now. lolz

yeh it is, obstructs your view too when u drive,

it will get to you soon, after the cool faze dies, and it getting annoying seeing oncoming cars coming.

When you buy/sell things through OzHonda you get a trader rating if the buyer/seller is bothered to give it lol..

Not ON the gearstick, on the right side of it closer to the left side of the steering coloumn.
