I've fixed/created way too many noisy grounds... so I just used the ground location detailed in this DIY, although you could obviously tap ANY location on the body, and the A pillar would have been the shortest path, but doing it this way I didnt have to take it all the way off. To do the wiring in another yaris would take me about 5 minutes. For future reference, don't power anything off the illum wire, wire up a relay if you are doing more than, well, powering a relay |

[QUOTE=spkrman;45391]I tapped the wire from the cd player, thats always an easy/foolproof way to get ignition/illum/power.
QUOTE] Specifically, where at, what color, and how do you get to this wire? I need to hook my "Illumination wire" to a constant source of 12V so the Tach will remember which color is selected...

O.k.
Here is the definitive way to do it for a Glow Shift tach that changes colors. Buy 2 Mini Add A Cicuit Fuse things described in this thread. There are two sizes, Mini and Regular get the Mini, 2 of them. Attach the tachometer "12v IGN" (Red wire) to one of the add a fuse circuits. Attach the add a fuse to terminal #24 in the fuse box located where described in this thread. Attach the tachometer "Illumination" (yellow wire) to the other add a fuse circuit. Install this add a circuit at terminal 8 or 9 (the red 10amp circuit across from #24 location). This will ensure that the tachometer "remembers" what color it was last on after you shut the car off. Attach the tachometer "signal" (green wire) to the OBD scan port far left blue/green wire as described in this thread. Attach the tachometer ground (black wire) to the bolt as described in this thread. Working like a champ and it remembers what color it was last on when I start the car back up.

anyone know where the #24 fuse is for red wire is? I've been looking for it all day. Also, so the white wire goes some where else? The green tach wire still goes to the far left green-blue wire that is part of the underdash neon plug? thanks

the #24 fuse is located under the dash on the drivers side. Look all the way up under there adn there should be a small black cover over the fuses. :)

Those Grote add-a-fuse things are $22 each here at NAPA. I'd need two and I didn't pay that much for the tach. Anybody know of any place to buy them for a reasonable amount?

I installed my tachometer today.
Glowshift 7 color tach with universal gauge pod. Installed at A pillar as others. Wired Red Tach wire to the #24 fuse as described (utilized a mini add a fuse as also described in this thread) Wired the Black Tach wire to the bolt at bottom of A pillar as described in this thread. Wired the Green Tach wire to the far left blue green wire at the OBD scan port as described in this thread. I wired the Yellow "Illumination" tach wire to the brown wire at the dimmer switch. However, my tach cannot remember which color it was on when I turn it off and back on. It also doesn't brighten/dim with the dimmer switch. Directions say to "connect the yellow illumination wire to the positive side of the battery". So it needs to be something that is always powered, even when key is off. Where the heck should I be putting this yellow wire????
