Default Locating the Tach wire...

What is the easiest way to get to and locate the tach wire on the PCM? I have checked the archives and seen a few pics but nothing that helps. TIA

Confirmed -- it is the #10 wire (white in color) on the RED PCM connector.

Hold the connector so that the connector tabs are on top, and the wires are pointing out the back of the connector away from you. #10 should be a white wire on the bottom row, 10th wire in from the left edge.

The PCM is located behind the RF fender, between the wheelhouse and the dash panel, below the battery.


Cheers,
Kent

White wire #10 pin is under grey cover held in place by one screw.
Ignore writing on this picture, but you can see grey covers.

Ok I got the access panel off and located the PCM. Which cover do you remove? There are 2 big gray covers, 1 medium harness with no cover /red clip, one small harness with no cover. Do I remove the cover closest to the motor or outside of the car and is there only one red harness? I am having problems locating the correct wire for the hookup. Can anyone help me~!!!!
