if your talking about the illumination its a seprate power wire again, hook it too your parkers or ignition circuit if u want it lit up all the time

it says on the instruction to never connect the green wire which is the coil wire to a positive source why is that?

cos its actually recieves a ground signal everytime the points shut which is how the tach works
connect 12volts to that and watch the tach go up in smoke

🙁,so do they have a fuse? because there is a possibility when trying to find positive source that the green cable touched.calibre is not an actual compnay i think super cheap make them,so i cant contact them.

wired it to the wrong side of the coil
no bang!, Poof sounds or anything
pulled the tach apart and found that i burned the coil
