Re: installing a tachometer

I don't see why a tach needs to be always on.

It's a gauge for tasting/measuring the condition of the vehicle when it is on.

Does it have an onboard computer or something??

I just don't understand why something as simple as a tach needs to be always on. The only reason I can think of is if the actual working of the tach is digital and so it doesn't lose it's "memory" in the off state. I can't see the reason for one of those compared to a mechanically driven one though.

Do you just want the dummy (shift) light so it looks cooler?? lol
