<html><body>Price-just a quick guess. BJ8s with a wood dashes need good grounds from each instrument. Check to make sure there is a black wire on the Tach and Speedo mounting lug, and that they read ohms to ground. (less than 5 ohms on wire). There is also a small u-shaped connector on the tach that must be properly installed to function correctly.<div><br></div><div>Additionally, unlike an ammeter, your volt meter also needs to be grounded. It reads battery pos to neg where the ammeter is a series connection to the regulator. Hank<br><br><div class="reply-new-signature"></div><p>-----------------------------------------</p>From: "R.

<div dir="ltr">
I have been working on electrical issues on my BJ8. Today’s issue
seems to be the panel lights. I am reinstalling a volt meter.
It is installed and doesn’t work. I have switched the
lines - no change.
<div><br></div>
<div>Before I reinstalled the volt meter as well as after, when I
turn on the main lights and panel lights, the tach stops working.
When the lights are off, the tach runs fine when the panel lights
are on. I have tried changing the connections to the back of
the speedo (because the speedo connections were undone), but no
change. I did not touch the tach. The dip switch blue light
works fine but its been daylight when I’ve been working on the car,
so difficult to test the other lights.</div>

<div>Any thoughts/suggestions to fix this?<br><div dir="ltr"><br></div>
