Default RPM Gauge lights
Hello all,

Does the RPM gauge have 2 lights plugged into it?
I have the panel askew enough to change out the cable, and noticed a light hanging... the RMP gauge appears to be half lit (one side brighter than the other) thus I assumed it might belong to this component...

Thanks!

It's called a Tachometer, and I'm pretty sure it should have at least two lights behind it. Haven't had mine out for a while, though.

Hi Tyler,
The rear of the tech case is marked as to what lights go at each location.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
