hey, if my truck came out of the factory without a tach, did they leave the wires in for it?
or would I need to wire that...

I had one contact in my eye and was drinking a 32 oz soda on a very hilly and curvy hwy. I came upon a red light at highland and burbank and turned left. I thought a cop was behind me but was not sure. when I stopped at the next light on burbank, the cop pulled me over. I stepped out and set my soda on the roof and asked what was wrong. He said that he thought I was a cop, but had to make sure since I never used my brakes and was driving a crown vic. He told me that I out drove him in the curve on burbank and that he would not have caught me if I had not stopped for the light. He asked me to slow down and not wreck on his shift. I thanked him and went to get my brother.

I thought it was sad that he was trained and had a police interceptor and could not keep up.

Your crown vic was a civilian car, not a ex-interceptor?

Circuit Film?

uncle.stosh · #**233** (**permalink**) 06-25-2009, 02:10 PM

One of these:

Your existing film will not have the section in the middle with the 4 contacts for the tach.

Keep calling and complaining.
Nothing works better with these kind of stores than calling non stop and complaining.
