Paul B thanks for the response, Theres a Diode on the Tach? Sorry im not super electronically proficient, I can do home electrical but 12 volt I need to learn more. LOL.

I did check voltage at alternator there are obviously 12 volts that come from the splice that feeds alt, voltage regulator and a few other items. How would I test to see if the Diode at Alt is working. Is my understanding correct that the diode allows power to only go one way and not feed back?
