Check that the wire has not come off the coil. I am sure it gets it power from there?

Sadly, if you do not know what the coil is, take it to an auto electrician.
This will be a far easier solution.
Bruce, the pic shows a coil that needs an external resistor, not for a suzi, 1.3l onwards.

The tacho knows the revs by how many times the coil pulses.
Get a manual with a decent wiring diagram and it'll help you out with all these niggly little electrical issues...
