It's on the same side as the green wire from the condensor.
Black with purble stripe. comes out of a twin wire wrap. What's it do? |

Each page you see with the "graphics" has a page associated with it that tells you what each component is and what the colors are.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Andy OK, I see it... looks like it goes into a regulator, spot 5, then spot 5 comes out as a green/red... then off to the tach. I think I just need a poster size color chart for the garage wall. Or better yet, an electronic version that hangs there. I touch the wire in question and it lights up everything about that wire, it's path and component. Yes, that's what I need. thanks guys |

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you can't simply assume that PIN 5 on the rear plug is connected to PIN 5 on the forward plug! you gotta trace the wire through the relay board! PIN 5 on the rear connector (black/purple tach wire) goes to PIN 7 on the forward connector (also black/purple) which goes to PIN 1 on the tach ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Andy |

When the diagram gets real busy I use a straight edge and lay it along the wire
I am tracing down. Helps to keep from losing it in the traffic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
