Default rpm window switch install

I am having trouble finding where to hook up my tach wire. I know the book says no10 pin white wire on right inner fender well but there are a thousand wires there and I am just a little over whelmed. Does anyone have pictures of this install or a link to one. hopefully i am in the right forum for this question. I have done numerous searches on the widow switches themselves but can't seem to find what i am lookinig for. I am expecting a NXexpress kit Monday and want to install as soon as possible. I would appreciate any comments or helpful suggestions on this as well. Thanks

right at the computer. Take off the front pass side tire, then take off the wheel well cover and there is the computer. very easy to get too. Tap the wire and run it to the window switch. 30 min job at the most.

Default still loking for rpm switch wire?

Does anyone have a picture of where to hook up the tach wire for an RPM window switch? I have asked and gotten lots of help but still not sure. I took the inner fender well off to look at the ecm but there is more than 1 white wire and I cannot find numbers anywhere if there are any. Sorry to be a pain but can someone please help. I am from Missouri so someone will actually have to show me.lol Dumb joke I know! Thanks in advance for any help.

unhook the PCM connector (7mm nut driver) and get a look at the connector body and you will see the #s .

no, they are on the plug, you may want to remove the grey plastic covers and you should be able to see all the numbers.
