Subaru Sambar KS4 AutoMeter 2305 Tachometer Installation

[@williammontgomery3992]

Had it done in no time at all. I pulled the pins out of the connector for the white and red and solder directly to them. I used a tap for the yellow wire. Had to mount it in a different place because my gauges are different. Thanks Will

[@RobinMiller-v6c]

Thanks for the connector closeups, which allowed me to verify the "solid yellow" wire without muss or fuss.

[@gsxrdoug7521]

Thank you for this video I just installed the same in my 94 ks4, because of you it turned out super easy. I would have never attempted this without this video. Thank you again.

[@tracybillysky]

I know this video is over a year old, but it worked perfect! Thank You Sir!

[@drivestickshiftNYC]

shaky cam was no prob, great content man, detailed and put together well, big thank you

[@mikevanessen8687]

You are the man. I know it’s not hard to do but you did it right. I work on boats and I have to cut the factory wire a lot!! Soldering and shrink is the best way to go if you have to cut a wire.

[@robboat6269]

Iv wired a few boat trails over many years i found what works for me. Crimp butt connectors good quality. I like the ones the plastic is see through but still color coded. I fill it with red rtv silicone plus i cover the ends of wire in the lights. Let that harden then cover the sockets with dielectric grease. All the metal. Over kill but for a trailer that might see salt water why not.

[@youdrinkindunkin]

I’m surprised you didn’t de pin the wire from the harness and do a military splice, still came out clean and looks good.

[@brandonnickerson3077]

Amazing video, appreciate you taking time to make this.

[@southernknifehobbyist]

Great video. I am also happy to see that you carry a Schrade Old Timer pocket knife. I love old, traditional pocket knives and ALWAYS have one on me!

[@nealgold8442]

Great video and very informative

[@mitch9521]

I'd love to see an rpm comparison at various speeds.

[@miken8150]

Nice. I expect a follow up so we find out how high that engine spins on the highway. Also, just me but I'd probably have tested the tach well before putting it all back together!

[@MrSubaru1387]

Gotta be confident in your work. 😉 😁 👍🏻

[@charlespayne1909]

Hey mr Subaru. Nice video with cp this last Friday.

[@enkosynthesys]

just plugged a defi tachometer to my Subaru Domingo, which is very similar to this sambar. have some troubles finding a yellow cable. I connected ignition, power, ground and light wires to dashboard socket and have my signal cable connected to yellow one at the ECU. and it works

[@enkosynthesys]

and everything without cutting and drilling.

[@flat4forlife588]

Video approved. Next mod a greddy ti-c :p

[@ClaytonReid-l2x]

I know it’s an old video, but if I got a tach with three wires should the red wire be on an ignition switched power? Also why not splice tap the power cables? Sorry new to car stuff but I love my sambar!

[@dalemettee1147]

Another way to hook up to these wires is to jam the desired wire into the back of the connector shell for the wire you want to use for each function. I've done several times ans it seems to work.

[@charlespayne1909]

Im just like you. I like Camaro. Charger. 300. And mustang. But i really need subaru and Mitsubishi.

[@inerlogic]

Save that vacuum bag! That's JDM dust/dirt, you can sell that on ebay

[@ScottPlude]

JDM dust.... I'm gonna be a millionaire, DM me so we can discuss your licensing terms! HAHAHA

[@kevinkelly9220]

I have a question relating to a past video on the Subby CVT. What are your thoughts on down shifting an automatic (2017 Forester) with the paddles?

[@cmayk]

Hi MrSubaru Do you know if the information in this tutorial would be viable for use in a TT2 model Sambar? I have a Supercharger TT2 truck and I'd like to wire up a tach for it It is the next generation up from 1999, and because only now becoming available for import (starting at the beginning of this year) there is not a lot of information on them in English.

[@sukhoi24]

Hi, is this Sambar supercharged? I saw another video where there was no solid yellow and a new cable needed to be run to the coil on the rear.

[@charlespayne1909]

By next Christmas. I will have snap on atech green 1l2 15&300 t.w. . Snap on atech hi viz 3l8 5&125 t.w. With 3 cornwell master socket sets.

[@Likethetacosauce]

You can strip those wires without cutting them, just for future reference

[@sammy13nation94]

I spliced the green wire to the yellow wire like you did and it was working, I put my tools away while my 1993 ks3 idled, when i came back a minute later it was at 0 and wouldnt move. I'm stuck, any advice?

[@billyquinn175]

Alright, where’d you get your cup holder?

[@JDMshitbox]

Excellent video! I actually found a dias cluster from a super charged model. I've got 90 percent of the lights and gauges working except for a few. If possible at all ia there a way i could contact to regarding the wiring to see if I'm missing anything? Please let me know, thank you

[@Melicoy]

Awesome thanks

[@TheGhungFu]

Does the Sambar have an OBD port?

[@MrSubaru1387]

No. The supercharged fuel injected has an ECU, but the base, carbureted truck is all mechanical/electronic. No computer.

[@AAANDN1]

I hear ya on cutting the oem harness ,but Not so close to the connector.....further away from the wire connector. Nice job though, I did learn how to

[@Wearephuct-O]

Thanks

[@mgv00]

Why didn’t you just strip the insulation off wiring harness wire with a knife and wrap the new wire around it and solder? It’s what I’ve always done. I hate cutting original wiring.

[@jonk6137]

I’m with ya homie I was gifted a boost gauge I wanna put in my lgt...is that yer shop in the background.?

[@cliffhume3948]

What soldering iron do you have? Looks like a nice palm grip instead of stick. Thanks for vid! Just picked up a 94 dump Sambar

[@MrSubaru1387]

Think I used my M12 Milwaukee in this video.

[@cooper67]

@@MrSubaru1387 cool. looks like a more stable way to get in small spaces! Thanks

[@ScottPlude]

Great little video. I could feel your pain as you clipped the factory wiring. I just sent a few bucks yesterday but I was wondering, which platform takes the LEAST amount of money from your donations? Do you have a preferred method for donations?

[@MrSubaru1387]

PayPal gives 100%. YT takes about 50%

[@ScottPlude]

@@MrSubaru1387 cool, I made the right choice ;)

[@MrSubaru1387]

@@ScottPlude thanks! Greatly appreciate it.

[@1009wlwilling]

How to find the tach signal which is yellow in this case? What is the yellow tach signal wire doing when there’s no tachometer in this car? Gonna look awesome at night when illumination is on.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Wiring diagram is the easiest way to locate. 👍🏻

[@anthonyprestigiacomo4995]

How high have you got the rpms with your daily driving? I'm noticing my sambar only gets up to about 3,500rpms but is screaming at that rpm

[@MrSubaru1387]

At 55mph I'm usually turning 4500-4800rpm

dude, every time ive ever need a T-Tap.... dont have one... murphys law rules all i suppose.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Always! 😂

[@leepeffer1304]

If you haven’t come across them, posi taps are a great option for small taps like these that don’t route a lot of power. Just a small puncture of the OEM wire that can be easily filled and no chance of cutting the strands like with a T Tap. As an added bonus they can be disassembled for servicing if ever need be.

[@9THR33]

@@leepeffer1304 wow, the universe works in such mysterious ways....just last week i used posi-taps to tap wires for some rear led fog marker lights. they worked a perfectly, so much friendlier to use then basic wire taps.

Would rather cut and solder than use those corrosion inducing taps. Using those are a big no-no for me.

Why not a key on hot fuse expander from the fuse box ?
