Re: The resident newbie idiot needs to hook up a tach..

Wow, thanks ChiefRocka! I think I know where the draw is coming from...I put on a steering wheel and tightened it down too far. After I rigged it up, the horn ALWAYS blew. So that little contraption for the horn is touching metal in there. I need to go back and pull the wheel off, as I just straight wired a horn. BUT I dont know how the he!! to get the adapter off that came with the steering wheel as no two bolts line up so I can use the steering wheel puller. Also I didnt put the signal light cancelling thing on the new wheel, so I have to turn them off myself.

As far as the gas gauge, it is currently all the way over on full. Now I took a wire and hooked it to the fuse box after I disconnected the brown wire that goes back to the sending unit. My thought was if something was wrong with the brown wire, I could disconnect it, run a new wire and it should work fine. No haps, that didnt fix it. Now when I touch the wire that I have hooked up to the fuse box fuel port to a ground, it goes all the way down below the "E." It seems like its something simple, but i have no clue what.

All I have is an ignition coil on my old bucket so I guess thats the way I need to hook the "tack" up. Thanks alot for your help! I'll be good to go if i can figure out how to get the d@mn adapter off for the steering wheel. I'm sure the fuel gague thing will just take a little time and patience....
