hey,
i just bought a jaycar digital tacho, look really good in the shop, it has programable shift lite and redline lights etc, for only $60(and it fits perfectly where the digital clock is meant to be in a TG). howevere i warn u now, it says it only takes 3hours to do, well mine took me about 12hours. And it still doesnt work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anybody in perth any good at electronics. i need help bad. Everything looks fine to me but i doesnt want to work.

I dont wanna give up as it was $60??? man i hate jaycar for teasing me into buying it. $60 for nothing.

When u solder the little dillies together, make sure u have made them connect to another line.

if u fuck anything up, then join the things with some wire soldered on to the point if that makes any sense.

I dont know what kit you have exactly, but I got a jaycar kit, it was a shift light kit, had 3 lights and three potentiometers to set each light's rpm switch on point.

It didn't work at first, I had put a diode in backwards. Worked fine after that. You might want to check that out.
