Default HELP:RPM Window Switch Not Working!

I just recently hooked up my NX wet kit and I can't get it to work. I have checked all of connections and they all seem good. I have the safety measures including a TPAS switch, Fuel Pressure switch and a NX(MSD) rpm window switch.

TPAS light comes on, purge, bottle heater, arming switch all come on and have been calibrated so I have pretty much isolated to the window switch.

Now I initially hooked it up to the coil(-) like many diagrams I have seen instead of the number 10 pcm wire. (2004 Z06) I threw a code immediately P0356 ignition 6. I disconnected the wire to the coil and the code disappeared. So I connected the wire to the rpm tach signal wire right below the tach.

Is there any way of testing the window switch?? Did I fry the circuits??? Any help would be appreciated.

THX

When I first put in mine, I hooked it to the coil wires per Beer99's pics but it wouldn't work. Thought the unit was bad so I put it on the bench with a frequency generator. Worked perfect on the bench so I went back and hooked it up to the pin 10 white wire.. didn't work.. back to the bench.. worked fine.. back to the car.. but set it for 4 cyl. mode... works fine.. every time. Go figure.
You can test yours by setting the on/off to low rpms but at least 200 rpm diff., disconnect it from the relay, and hook a ohm meter or 12v test light to the leads of the ws. You'll see it come on. PM me if this is over your head and I'll explain it in further detail.
