autometer tach install...

ok, does anyone has any info on the wire for the tach signal on the '08 LB, I just bought an autometer tach and I cannot find the tach signal wire anywhere, can someone tell me where to find the wire diagram for it or tell me where to find it?

'08 LB tach wire

On the OBD2 connecter in front of the drivers left knee has two wires of interest to you. One is on the back left and one is to the back right of the connector pin block. The tach wire will cause your tach to read when you rev the engine. The other will only signal the tach when the car is in motion. Just put crimp on female spade lug connectors on both. That way if you guess wrong its just the other one.

I'm looking at the diagrams and I don't see the OB2 conector, I'm sure I'll find it but I just can't wait...

In the EWD's it is called the DLC3 (data link connector).
