My running lights aren't coming on and it just started happening last week, and idea of what the problem could be? Also can anyone give me easy directions on how to hook up my Autometer tach on my 92 Honda civc hatchback? Any ideas would be great, thanks.

I woluld first also suggest first taking a look at the fuse panel for a blown fuse...

As for the tach you can hook up behind your guage cluster but I can;t rememebr the color wire and also a spot under the hood at the dizzy connection..I think it's a blue wire w/ a yellow tracer....
Best of luck..

damn i didnt know you were local^^^^ thats kinda cool...anyway

tach is blue and can be found easiest under hood by brake master cylinder. should be a 2 pin connector with only one wire (a blue one) going into it. prolly has tape around it too. if you cant find that, use any NON common color on any of the injectors. o, and check that FUSE! the proper way in case you dont know is to turn your key so that everything BUT the engine is on. test for at least 12v on BOTH sides of a fuse. if both sides have no voltage thats ok. if only one side has 12v then that ones blown.
