Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Rate Thread Wiring nightmare #645422 09/09/05 01:30 PM Anonymous Unregistered I bought a 94 Jeep wrangler. It was modified from a 2.5 to a 4.2L. The guy said he did not get the fuel, speedometer, or tach rewired. An MSD ignition box was installed. I started in yesterday trying to hook up these gauges. The original 2.5 L gauges are still there. The fuel gauge worked for a few minutes, then quit. I can't get the speedo or tach to work. Can anyone share simple thoughts on what I need to do? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Re: Wiring nightmare #645423 09/09/05 01:40 PM Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 151 Boca Raton Florida bigjeep1980 Wheeler This was a big help for me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/electrical/gauges/ Re: Wiring nightmare [Re: bigjeep1980] #645424 09/09/05 06:53 PM Anonymous Unregistered Thanks for the link which has contains some good information. However, can anyone tell me if I can use the stock gauges in my 94 wrangler since I changed the engine from 2.5L to 4.2L? That could be why the fuel, tach & speedo don't work when I hook them up?

Surely the senders all send the same signals to the guages.
