I went wheeling a couple of weekends ago and my battery decided to get under the fender. Negative terminal was touching the fender. So we got the battery all held right and tried starting it, my bro said when I tried to start it sparks shot out of the altenator. Anyways kept going and then it would not run at all. finally after pulling me damn near the way out of the trail a guy in a j**p helped me out and found that the ignition box wasnt securely mounted right. (stiff JD susension rattled the bolts loose.) So we headed out of the trail, it was getting dark so I pulled the headlight switch. It died. pushed the light switch in, fired right up. Got it home eventually. Now, I wired in a Tach and followed the directions and everything. Hooked it to the light switch and the "+" coil wire. So there is a short right? also it acts like it wants to die when in 1st gear, manageable in 2nd, and in 3rd doing about 40 mph up it bucks like crazy. Whatcha think? Also how do you take out the switches like the light switch? I know theres a little button on top of it and I got the pull lever out and Im trying to get the wiring harness underneath the dash so I can check for shorts. Sorry for the long post!
