| Subject: | Re: Tach hookup for Stratus/Subaru |
I have the original Stratus ignition system with the second backup
system and a VDO tach from Zenith. I bought two small signal diodes
from radio shack and hooked the tach into the negative wire from
ignition module to the coil on each system through a diode. The diodes
isolate the two ignition systems from each other but allow the signal
from either to get out to the tach. My system is set up so that only
one system will run at any time.
Here's a drawing of what I did. When I first hooked the system up, I
had the diodes in the wrong way and had to reverse them. I think I
corrected this drawing to reflect that.
