Or you could do it the correct way. Please see my post above, #10.
I agree why go to all the trouble of going through the firewall and having extra wires in the engine bay? Just tie into the wire in the ecu cluster... no mess, no fuss.. can be done in a few minutes.
Your tach wire is the Blue/Orange wire the ECU pin #32.
Go to www.phatg20.com and register a username, then verify it. Then go to the FSM's and download the FSM for your car. Then go to the EL section, page 94. You'll see the diagram for the cluster that has a tach and it shows you that terminal 32 at the ECU is blue/orange, and below that it shows the ECU pin out so you can find the wire. The rest should be easy.

Thank You a Lot! Your real good with cars.
I'll see if it works good, when i have time ill try to install it.
The site was http://www.phatg20.net/
Thanks for the site and help.
First of all, why use a splice connector? Sodder it, that's your best bet.
Second, if your going to do this, there's an easy way to beat the cheesy look. Mount it in the dash. Go a little further then bolt on and mount the darn thing. I'm going to take a glance at my XE tomorrow to see if there would be a decent place to mount one of these in dash... not that it's too awfully necessary on an automatic.
Yeah, Godlucian, this info will work for your car.
Most of the ECU wires are like 18 gauge, so soldering is not a good idea, and you're not powering anything, you're just getting a signal, so using a wire tap is quick, easy and clean.

What colors are the wires at the dimmer and defroster for my car that i connect with the tach wires??
Thats all i need and im set.
Thanks for your help.
I tried the blue/orange wire, and it doesn't work. I am real freaking confused on what wire it is...you mind putting up a pic of where exactly to connect it at? I got it to light up and everything, but all i need is the tach signal wire.

hey, in my b14, i hooked it to a green wire coming out of the distributer. I have no idea if the color on the b13 is the same though.... The blue/orange wire didnt work for me either. I think its because it sends ac power and most aftermarket tachs need dc. I think.lol

Because some of us cannot get that wire to work.
