Well I am still trying to get my cd player working and here are the only things i've done so far this morning that could've made my rpm guage stop working I am guessing. I took out all the fuses and checked to make sure none of them were blown and they were all good. I took out the driver side cubby to see the amp and rear speaker wires located back there but didn't disconnect anything just looked. Lastly I was just trying to see if there was any wires that could've maybe been not connected and saw what looked to be like a fuse and a 4 connecter under the shift boot so I thought for some odd reason maybe it would do something so I connected the 2 fuse thingys togeather tried and got nothing. Now I started up my car after I disconnected the fuse thing again and my rpm guage doesn't work. What the hell happened? Can anyone please help me I am having so many problems here all I wanted to do was install a cd player. I thought somethign was off when I turned my car to the on position to see if my cd player would work. Also none of the red lights came on on the dash when you have the key to the acc or on position which freaked me out. None of my turn signals will come up on the dash or any of that stuff however if i press the hazard button they will work. Help anyone?

try the meter fuse, also make sure you put all the fuses back in there right, the cover is hard to understand.



are the other gauges working?

Yeah I put all the fuses back in and out 1 by 1 so I know they are all in the way they came out. Here is what the fuse numbers are in each one which doesn't seem like how the cover fuse thing says.



LH - RH



20 10

15 15

20 15

10 20

30 30

15 20

----15

(had to put the -- in there so i could put the 15 on that side)



Now I changed the ACC ones so they were right a 10a for cigar and 20a for radio antenna but I still am not getting any display on my cd player only their is power going to it. Also my rpm guage does still not work. I haven't driven the car yet from all these problems so I am not sure if the speedometer works or not yet.

check the trailing, the tach feeds off of it.



the engine does turn on, and idles and runs, correct.

if the engine turns over and runs fine, then my first guess is trailing plugs/wires.

he didnt change any of that stuff though

I highly doubt it would be my spark plugs because I just did a tuneup on it a week or 2 ago and it's been running great. Changed the spark plugs, distributer and cap, air filter. I am pretty sure it had something to do with me plugging togeather those things under the shift boot. Check out what I mean look under your shifter boot and there will be like a 4 connecter and then 2 fuse looking things i connected those and I think that i what messed everything up but I cant figure out what to do?

the tach runs off of the trailing coil, so its possible that you messed something up that just now came loose. check the connections on your coils and make sure everything is tight.

Sorry you guys we were all thinking to much. After how many hours of trying to find the problem I came to find that I only had a corroded fuse. How freaken rediculous huh? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif Only goes to show sometimes we think to hard and the stupidest things we miss. God damn haha. I am still having a problem with my cd player though, it is getting power but the display wont work I just cant figure it out.

what fuse was messed up?

I don't even remember to tell you the truth.

a fuse in the under dash fuse box?

dude just buy a new ignitor for your trailing side. when i bought my 1st gen, the tach didnt work but everything else worked fine. I replaced the trailing ignitor and the tach worked perfectly. Their like 15 bucks on ebay, just make sure you get a clean one

he said he got it working

Yeah I got it working already and yes it was in the fuse box under the dash. I checked out all the other areas though first https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif. Any idea on my cd player what could be causing power going to it but no display coming up?

do you have the switched and the constat power to your cd player? what kind of player is it and did you check the owners manual?

good idea

not like anyone uses the search function in the heat of the moment anyway. I know im always guilty of that hehe.

i got the display working but I cant get the rear speakers connected I dont really know how, how do you do that? ANy plugs behind teh steteo? Or do I have to run wires from behind the cubby and if so how and which ones?

my stereo install would not have worked if i wouldnt have re wired my speakers. the connectors i got in the install harness would not have connected to my stock harness, i guess they didnt allow for the amps.



does your stock stereo have that joystick thing on the center console?

Thanks for the help you guys I got my speakers re-wired, didnt take me that long and everything is working and sounding great https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Check the wire going into the fuse from the the memory wire (it should be yellow) and inside the fuse holder. And make sh\ure your not using that wire as a ground. If need be hook it to the cig wire becuz it's always hot. That should fix the problem.

I think his problem his fixed now, this was months ago.
