    Question Tach wiring - 99 SS Extreme

    Anyone have a picture of the back of their tach and wiring connections?

    i put my new OE tach in last night and now have no power to anything in the dash, no system beep when I turn the key, nothing

    This is the wiring on the old tach, i wired the new one exactly the same.

    Thanks

    Out of curiosity I would check the main fuse that goes to your motor.

    Main fuse was blown. I traced it back to the metal gauge support for the tilt/trim

    Thanks for the help

    When working on gauges your in a tight spot so it doesn't take much to accidentally cross hot/ground when working in that tight area. In order to eliminate the potential in the future unhook the + battery wire. I'm glad I could help
