Paging Mike Huff (Shift Light)

[Need2MoreCylinders]

Hey Mike,
Magnus told me to talk to you about hooking up a shift light to a 5 spd. How did you go about doing that? I have a shift light now, but I am not sure what wire to hook it up to. Do I want to tap into the tach wire by the computer? Please help. Thanks

You can either use the tach wire out of the computer or if you don't want to go through the firewall, you can just hit the white tach wire from behind the instrument panel. If you take the panel out, there's a plug that goes into the back of it. The bundle of wires out of that plug contains two white wires. I know one of them has a tach signal, and I'm pretty sure both do.

I am running my shift light off the MSD tach signal. Before I had the MSD I used the white wire Travis is talking about. If you don't want to pull the instrument cluster out you can tap into the large harness of wires that runs under the dash. Only bad thing about doing that is there are about 6 white wires to choose from. If you do that just use the low rpm test pill and rev it up to see if the light comes on, if not tap into another white wire untill you find the right one.

If you want to tap the computer one email me. Or did you already?

Hey Josh,
How did you hook up your shift light? Also what wire from the computer did you tap into and what power source are you using?
Thanks
