Default Ignition Coil Trigger Wire Question

I'm looking for the Coil Trigger wire for RPM feed to connect a window switch. Is this the wire connected to each coil labled IGN CTRL in the 2004 Corvette service Manual?
Thx, Jeff Serebrin

The coil trigger wire is the wire that is a different color on each connector on the coils. However the window switch will not work reliably unless you go directly to the tach output off the ECU.

Thx. I'll look at the wiring diagram tonight for the ECU. The ECU is behind the passenger side kick panel?

Pull the pass. side inner fender and you will see the ECU. You will need to tap the #10 white wire for a tach signal.

One other question, is the green wire in the TPS harness the wire that sends the position of the blade to the ECU? Looks like it to me on the wiring diagram.
