330CubeGt Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Never had this issue until today, I was driving at maybe 2500 rpm and i look at the Tach and its up at 5k rpm. I shut off my headlights with just the running lights on and its fine, and it works as it should...Then turn the headlights back on and the rpm's float around 2500 with the car at idle. When i turn the blinkers on the tach moves around from 2000-3000 between blinks.Has 6000k HID's on both the Headlights and Fog lights all plug and play on the stock harness. Anyone else ever had such a problem with theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Tew Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 do the rpms actually go up or is your tach freaking out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Tew Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Sounds like a ground, or like your ballasts freaked out. Did the bulb just go bad or is there delicious melted wire down there by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

330CubeGt Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Turns out the ballast was bad, put in a working ballast and my problem went away and my headlight are fine as well as the tach.... Kinda weird if the ballast caused the issue but maybe it was shorting out...Heads up and ass kickin! Using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRoush Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 it's located in the center of the O-pipe. they used it to protect the reservoir from any potential punctures but in doing so the heat from o-pipe tends to evaporate the blinker fluid into a vapor.
