January 14, 20214 yr Author comment_614431 Finally received my digital to analogue tachometer converter. The Haltech sends a digital signal that needs to be converted into the old school coil signal for the tach to work properly. Pretty simple solution using one of these converters made by Gene. He’s on eBay and sells cool little gadgets like this for a reasonable price. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/142171581596 Edited January 14, 20214 yr by wheee!

January 27, 20214 yr Author comment_615166 Hmmm. I had turn signals and flashers working before. All the wiring is good. Good grounds. Indicator lights in dash come on solid but don’t blink. I swapped all the bulbs to leds and added electronic flasher units but now the flashing has stopped working from either the turn signals or the emergency switch. Any brilliant thoughts I should look into first?
