Need quick help. Need to find out what wires i can tap into for the shift light, and where I can located these wires.
Will be installing in the A-pillar where the side vent is for the side window.
Thanks!

Would ya know it, I looked all over installuniversity and couldn't find the darn write up. I knew it was there, just figured it was taken down for some reason.
Okay, has anyone found a way to just run the wires internally rather than tapping into pin#10 outside? I'd rather not punch another hole through the grommet. Already have 2, 4ga wires poking through, and had to seal it off like a **** b/c it leaked like crazy when it rained or washed car.

Is there a way to not go through the fire wall to the pcm as I described above? Does the tach wire not somehow go to the drivers side cluster somewhere that I can tap into??

What power wire did you tap into over by the a-pillar in your t/a? doing an install now but don't have a multimeter. I know brown wires are supposed to be switched 12volt sources but the one I used isn't working.

You can go behind the instrument cluster and grab the white wire behind the speedo. Thats the easiest way.

Awesome! I wonder why most people just don't do this instead???
