Autometer tach install I just got finished wiring in my autometer memory tach in the car. I used the instructions of install university's site for the harlan shiftlight. The only thing that the instructions dont cover in that write up is what wire to splice into for the tach back light. I would like to hook it into one of the wires that actually goes to the lights themselves. So when I turn the lights on the tach will illuminate. Any info appreciated.
Re: Autometer tach install The closest place would be the back of the parking light switch, tapping into the parking light output. I have an auto, so I tapped into the shifter position light in the console - probably the easiest way to go but would invove running wires up to your light.
Good luck
Edit, just saw that you have an M6...guess you have no gear position light, but if you have a light in your armrest compartment that's a good spot, too.

Re: Autometer tach install If I'm reading this diagram correctly, the parking light output should be a brown wire on the back of the switch. You could always double check it with a voltmeter to make sure it shows 12V when the lights are on. If you run into any snags or anything, feel free to shoot me an e-mail or PM.
