hey guys thanks for the help...
heres a link to the switch.. its an RPM ACTIVATED SWITCH...
http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/sftlight.htm
scroll down a bit and youll see it...
it has a switch on the inside that you configure to tell it how many cylinders... i set it to 6 obviously... i attached tach wire from the switch to the black wire coming out of the back of the tach (the one that goes to the ignitor)...didnt work...then i attached it directly to the IG- (i believe it is) right next to the diag box in the engine bay...didnt work... then i went and attached it to the CPS RPM input signal going to the ECU..NE1 i believe it was... that didnt work either...
i called them up and they said it reads off a 5volt sqaure signal for the tach...so im lost and confused on why it isnt working...i thought maybe broken switch...BUT i had gotten two of them...and the other one isnt working either...
the switch has four wires... 1 for tach, 1 for 12v, one for ground, and one for the shift light...obviously the switch connects to ground... heres a pic of the wiring diagram i was given...
ive tried numerous grounds...ive got the 12v hooked up to the same wire going into my voltmeter so i KNOW its getting 12v (this wouldnt be permanent im just trying to get it to work
) , ive got the light hooked up to the light wire coming from the switch and then also to the 12v coming from the voltmeter (again not permanent)...and ive tried numerous 12v for the light connection as well...
im completely at a loss of why this switch isnt working...any help would be appreciated...
