Connection near power steering reservoir

[realspartan]

Hi guys,

I noticed yesterday afternoon that there were two wire that were not plugged into each other on my GN very close to the power steering reservoir. I pluged the wires to together and now my RPM gauge does not worK. Does this make sense? One of the wires/connectors was green. Please supply some info...

them. 1 is the tach signal, and the other is a fuel pump power connection. Neither is used, unless:
1. You have an add-on tach, and need a signal.
2. You want to "jump" the fuel pump, to drain the tank, or make some tests.

yup...plug the wires together and it kills the tack ... so you may want to disconnect them

As long as your tach still works(once disconnected)- No. It's comical, how many people make the same mistake.

That's a common mistake. It won't hurt anything. When I bought my 86' GN they were connected, tach didn't work. Unplugged them, tach worked fine.
