it just started all at once but now in neutral the light wont come on and the tach stops working.if i put it in any gear the tach starts working.also as long as the brake is on the tach stops working.is this just a bad ground somewhere?where are the grounds?or just start at the front and start looking?

Hey Ram,
The ground cable for the battery connects to the frame on the left side, and can rust/corrode there. The Engine to frame ground strap is near the back of the engine, find the middle drive and starter, you'll see a flat strap connected to an engine bolt and to the frame below the air box. Yea, those are some funky symptoms, might be a bad ground, good luck! You're in the neck of the woods of an electrical Guru Geezer!
