not trying to say youre wrong ridge runner cause youre prolly not, but is this a stock guage or aftermarket, cause if its aftermarket i thought the green was the signal wire...atleast with all the tachs ive hooked up it was...

yea green usually is the signal wire, and red is the 12v source, white is for the light and black is the ground
