Bought Tach for 04 Civic..Got Question

I just bought a tach for my 2004 civic, which doesn't come with a tach which is stupid. Do i need an adapter or anything like that? haven't checked yet. anything would be appreciated, tips, anything. thanks!!

most tac's come with installation guides.

read the book.. if ur looking for the tach wire u could either get the rpm from the guage cluster... the ecu.. or the tach test wire in the engine bay

dont all 2004 civic come wiht tachs?

Ummm yeah they should come with a tach. Basically every manual car out there EVER has a tach on it, i couldn't imagine anyone making a manual trans. car without one on it stock. .....Im ganna laugh really hard if i find out your car is an auto...lol. But if it's manual and didn't come with a tach (VERY UNLIKELY i think. Especially it being a new model car) I give you the right to laugh at me. If your car is auto and you just went out and baught a 6 inch tach for it...i get to point and laugh at you. Deal? :lol2: :grinno:

not every manual car comes wiht a tachbut im pretty sure all the new civics have one already.

from what i looked up the 04 civic manual has a tach. Every model but Dx i think but dont remember.

i thought so to i know my 90 STD 4 on the floor had no tach.

lol! I only brought up that it probably has one, or its an auto because of a post i read like a week ago about some kid that got a SIX INCH TACH and wanted to know how and when to set it to shift, and all these people are trying to help him then after like two pages of posts hes like "Oh by the way it's an auto..." Then I laughed. Just seems like the same post as that haha. No offense and sorry I cant help but thats pretty damn funny. BTW...in your profile are referrals a good or bad thing...? :biggrin:

The 96-00 DX's didn't come with tachometers. LX+ did.

Ah ok thats cool...who would join the site cuz of me though!? haha, and yeah i thought it was everything but DX that had tachs, im finally right for once! yay! :loser:

My 95 dx has no tach and it's a manual. I'm saving up for an autometer.

Hey, e-mail me at [email protected] if youre still having problems. I had the same thing happen, i bought an 04 vp which has no tach. I went and bought one and couldnt figure out how to hook it up, very confusing but i figured it out. Let me know if you still need help

I got a tach for my civic vp and I had the same problem. Its a very simple fix. Near the fuse box there should be a blue wire not attached to any thing. That is the factory tachometer wire. Depending on which tach you bout all you have to do is attach the distributer wire(for me it was a green wire) to this blue wire and your tach should work if you hooked up all the other wires correctly.
