Hello everyone,

I want to test signal going into tach but car won't start with cluster removed.
Can't car run with I/P removed?
I don't seem to have any power at all, although I have battery power at starter relay.

Thanks

You need to connect the ammeter wires together..the power runs through there, with cluster out, just connect them together and you'll be set.

Welcome aboard! Oz has you covered. ALWAYS a good caveat to pull a batt cable off BEFORE you start up under there.

I did, then reconnected to obtain tach signal.
Seems lead changes from Gray/black in engine compartment to BLue and White red at I/P.

I have (2) leads for each Ammeter post (total 4 leads to ammeter), is this correct?

Just connect all (4) together?

Thanks

I have never seen 4, but yeah. otherwise you will lose power to probably seats and top.
