Problem with aftermarket tach?

Hey i had an aftermarket tach installed but the backlight doesn't come on automatically, everytime i start the car i have to press the button used to change the light color to get the light back on. i dont think this is normal since all the other tachs i have seen comes on automatically. any help would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like the illumination might not be wired correctly.

tach isn't JDM enough bro, check JDMland.com

Skipbarber, isn't there just one wire to power the illumination on a tach? If he's getting power, it should be wired correctly. I beleive that it could be a problem within the tach itself. What kinda' tach is it?
