Hey guys, I need a bit of help. I'm trying to install an aftermarket tach in my girlfriend's 1998 Escort LX (she has the base tach with just speedo, temp and gas gauges). What I'm having trouble with is the signal wire. Switched power, lights, and ground aren't a problem, just wondering if anyone can help me figure out where to splice the signal wire. It's the 2.0L SOHC engine, and the tach is the typical Sunpro SupertachII, if that helps. I've been on a few Escort forums, but I haven't gotten any responses on the issue, and I can't find threads on it even remotely close to what I need. I know Rangers are a bit different, but this is the most reliable forum on the net in my opinion, so I was hoping one of you on here might know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :headbang:
 
No one has any ideas? Let me ask a different question then: Would the wire for the factory in-dash tach work for my aftermarket one? I've heard that new factory tachometers work differently, so that circuit wouldn't be of use... how about on the Ranger? Whatever wire works for the ranger should be similar, right?
 
Dude, I searched that forum for three hours looking for something like that, and couldn't find shit. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it =]
