I have a 2000 Dodge Durango 4.7L

I am sure my wires at the ign switch are correct. I had a hard time finding the BLACK/ grey tach wire for my Durango. I went to the Dodge dealer and pointed out the balck/grey tach wire which is at the ign coil. He told me that teh engine light may come on. For what reason i forget I ws to happy to get back to work. I hoked it up and it worked.

Why is the light comming on? What other wire can I use? WOULD THE FUEL INJECTOR WIRE BE JUST AS GOOD.

Did you get the light reset to cut it off?

If all ignition wires are not powered then you can get a check engine light,air bag light,and or an abs light in this vehicle.I would make sure to power the other ignition wires as well as the primary in this vehicle or any vehicle that has multiple ignition wires..
