Update on shift light - tach wire info

[Joseph Dell]

Well, I learned something new today. I've hooked things up to the Viper TACH wire before with a setting of 2.5 PPR. Normally, i pull the tach signal from C3 Pin 31 (grey w/ lt blue stripe).

Well, you can also get a TACH signal from C1 Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. But here is the deal... C1 signals are a 1 PPR. This means that standard "viper calibrated" autometer shift lights only work off of the actual TACH signal... whereas the Raptor will NOT work on this. I even tried the Raptor with a 2.5PPR setting but it didn't work. So if you do the Raptor, make sure you do NOT use the standard TACH signal from behind the dash or from C3 Pin 31.

as info...

I hooked my Raptor shift light up today on my 97 GTS, tapped into pin 1 (yellow and gray wire) ran power from radio fuse, and grounded to nearby metal, darn thing works like a champ, I love it......

Hey...how in the heck did you get yours so fast!?!?! Always gotta be one step ahead of me, huh?!?!?!

Hey Tony, it is not easy to to get one up on the POSER, also put one of these Raptors in my 01 GT Mustang, of course with the help of my son. I got my shift lights this past Wednesday, yours has got to be on the way.....

I set my shift light at 3K rpm, works great, got to get one for my Viper truck.

If you are free on Sunday, give me a call and I will swing by and pick up that wing bracket.
