On a previous restoration I encountered the problem of converting a NON-gauge dash to one with gauges and had to move wires in the connector block to make the turn signals work and had a similar problem. But I didn't think that just adding a tach would make it necessary to move any of the other wires. The tach is powered with its own wire connected to the back and does not use the circuit board...Any other suggestions?
Mine was doing something similar except it was only the turn lights, I ended up finding a shorted wire in the tail light section
