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?

Tach wire


You need a Haynes manual badly

I have one but I don't see where it lists color codes... just a bunch of black and white drawings.

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.

Look real close there are breaks it the line and the colors are abbrivated.

it's all there, you're just not looking hard enough ...

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

Every component on the "graphics" page has a number associated with it.


Here are the numbers for one of the pages:

Can you get me a ride in a Helicopter?

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 ...

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.
