TTT

Need to hook mine up too. At one point I had directions on finding a tach wire inside the dash trim in a fairly accessible place, but I lost them

If you have the skills to locate it....this is the most accessible location to tap into it. Problem is there are several white wires in that bundle.

Tony, this is probably the thread you're thinking of:

Remove bottom dash panel. By hood release there is a pack of about 15wires. In there u can use the pink wire for hot the black for ground (couple of them to choose from).

Then the fun part there are 4 white wires. Use a pin to attach to raptor light and set light at 2k then push pin into each white wire and rev engine when you see light working you have right one.

Took me about 45-60 min from start to finish
