There is a tach signal wire in the harness under the dash somewhere. Not sure what color wire you'll be looking for in your truck, I know that for a 2000 Ranger it's a tan wire with IIRC a yellow stripe, but you'd probably have to try to look it up unless someone else knows because it could very likely be a different color for your year range.

Its a yellow/brown wire. Its under the dash (there are 2 of that color under the dash) or you can splice into it right by the PCM. Pin 48.

Read this very relevant thread that is going on at the same time right now.

didnt really help they had a different motor than me so if anyone can help with there own and even add pictures would be greatly appreciated

It shouldn't matter what motor as long as it's a similar year, they used the same harness on the vehicle and just a different set of plugs for the motor and they used a computer configured for the motor, but the same style plug.

How long have you been wrenching?

Smart_Ass, read up on your trivia and the previous forum threads that other people have already asked where knowledgeable TRS members have already contributed. As Lil_Blue confirmed, your motor and configuration are no different.

You sign onto a website, get a cool user name like "Smart Guy," and figure strangers will respect your question enough to honestly justify it with an answer. Truth be told, you are a disrespectful unknowledged teenager with a keyboard and atrocious punctuation.

Research this site before demanding answers with easily given pictures. Did your reading level never graduate past pop-up books?

Try checking the Tech Section of this website next time to gain an understanding of what's in front your firewall.

I know my Rangers...you (the noobie) don't.

[smart_guy2046]

i understand its part of the same concept i mostly glanced at it put then i looked harder at in and yet it is still hard to understand

 

[lil_Blue_Ford]

Wiring should be left to professionals. Or people that know how to do it right.

 

[smart_guy2046]
