Was waiting for this from a lot of days [:D]

I hope you have taken pics during the install.

Eagerly waiting for your directions on how to install.

Will place an order for the tacho tomorrow Anything particular I should keep in mind since you said that there are certain complications in getting the tacho and it should be mentioned in the job card.

Here is the answer for your question and my solution.

So My assumption is right, isn't it? Tacho backlight requires negative terminal for making the circuit complete and you used a relay for rectifying the problem. This is what I was going to suggest you after conforming about the polarity of your tachometer's backlight wire. Anyways you got the point[clap]
Good job.

yes your correct the negative was reversed to positive terminal so it provide -Ve volt when switch is off and on stage it was +Ve so i just think a while and brought the relay for Rs 20.And made the correction that's it.

I saw many forum post but no one did as i used a relay concept.It's cheap and simple.

Dear friends, is it possible to make driver's seat height adjustable. I have vxi model which does not offer this facility but zxi has.

Friends,

Can you please tell me that how important is this tachometer in a car [confused]

My dear friend don't tell me you don't know the use of tachometer in a car.
As far as I know keeping the RPM of engine within a specified limit in different gear position,you can get a better FE.
If there is any undue behavior in car the first thing you can see it is in the tachometer,like needle not in smooth movement when engine is idling .

Any more info is welcome [:)]
