TT won't work! Dang thing

[Niknuk]

HKS type 1 TT, I spliced all the wires right, but I can't get the stupid thing to read rpms or speed. I'm gonna tear open my dash again when I get home to make sure I tapped the right wires. The first wire is the fourth one on the bottom from the right, the other wire is the seventh. Am I right on this? Both readings on the timer are 0. But everything from the harness and parking brake sensor work, just not the wires hooking up to the ECU. I have to have tapped the wrong wires. Dang I hate pulling that thing out.

Well, I figured out the problem. Those plastic jobs that HKS gives you with the timer are junk. Either that, or you have to use them right.
They weren't actually tapping the wire. So I took them off and tapped into the wire the old fashion way, cut and splice. Now the timer works perfect.

yeah gotta be careful of wire connectors.. thats usually the problem with electrical crap you've tapped into
