press the knob in and turn it to whatever rpm you want the light to come on at. Then you can check it with the other red button and you should see the tach fly up to the RPM the shift light is set at. Also what kinda vehicle did it come off of? 4 6 or 8 cylinder because there is a certain color harnes you use depending on the number of cylinders you have...basically it just sounds that you either havent set the shift light yet or you dont have it matched with the right harness....hope this helps..om me if you need some more

Around 54-5500 on a stock motor should be fine.
