just a quick question,
i have done a search on this, but i didnt find a definate answer...

basically. i am trying to install a HUD to a certain ralliart...

having never dug around in a magna, i have no idea which one the tacho wire is...

so.. um yer.. which one is it? and what is the best way of identifying it?

cheers,

Gav

Dunno if they entirely changed it, but in firsts, and the one or two second gens I've seen, it's the only shielded cable.

Why do you need a tacho wire for a HU install?? :confused:

HUD, not HU

Why do you need a tacho wire for a HU install?? :confused:
HUD= Heads Up Display Tachometre

Its this cool uber ricey thing we want to put in, ANY help identifying the right one would be awesome

as i dont want gav mucking about with the electrics as stage one of the rally is tomorrow morning, and prelude is today

need it to run smooth

cheers in advance peeps :D

I'm gonna say Gav edited the post... It did say HU ;)

The RED WIRE!!!!! CUT THE RED WIREEEEEEEEE!!!


disclaimer* (dont cut the red wire )

i have installed a tacho in my third gen. wat car is it for. if its a 3rd gen its the whit wire in the loom.

take out the insturment cluster and then disconnect the loom from the back. look for a white wire. thats the factory tacho wire. o and it will be a good idea to disconnect ur battery coz i had to learn it the hard way. when i was doin mine there was a small short which ****ed up my speedo sensor. so make sure u disconnect ur battery.

if u need more info feel free to pm me.

cheers

u dun have to look for a hole in the fire wall. the white wire is part of the loom that conects to the instrument cluster. if u want ill undo mine and take a pic of the wire but it will be after work so aroun 5ish.
