Tach does not work --anyone know why??
I just finished installing a new stereo system and I also took the dash apart to install chrome bezels around the guages. Now the tach does not work.
Can anyone tell me where the wires are for the tach before I take the dash apart again???
Thanks for any help.

There are three places it's been identifeid. The first is the #10 wire coming out of the bottom of the PCM. The second is in the passenger footwell where I tapped it for my shift light.
The third was identified by Flyin'Brian under the driver's side dash in this thread.

Be aware it could be the tach gauge itself since you said you had it out for the bezels. I've heard the gauge cluster shouldn't be left on it's face or back for more than a few minutes or it could be damaged. I've helped put bezels in and we made sure we kept the cluster standing vertically. Also, a couple of members here have accidentaly damaged a gauge when thsy had the cluster out.
Best of luck.
