I recently bought a shift light from Autometer. It is the 5343 model. Can anyone help me? I am not sure where to run the signal wire to. This is my 1st post so be gentle. ha ha

PS Autometer said to run it to one of the leading coils negative wire. Not a black/white wire. But the tech wasn't really sure if that would work or not. That was all the info. he could find though after a 1/2 day of searching. He said "See if that will work."

You probably need to find whatever wire is triggering the "beep" sound. Not sure where that is, but I'm sure if you search it will be on this forum somewhere.

Unless you're hearing impaired, or your car is so heavily modded/turboed that you don't ever let it get to 8500 rpms, I would sell/return the shift light (just shift at the "beep)" and use the proceeds to get a more useful gauge.

The beep? I'm not sure the beep wire would help. I know what beep your talking about. I guess I should have said something about it also shows your rpm.
