remove the top of the dash

remove the gauge cluster

theres 2 plugs under the gauge cluster, lift up on the one on the right, the grey wire w/ light blue stripe is connected to that plug

the blue is very very light colored, you may have to twist the wire around a bit to see it

I have a 97 neon and would like to know where to mount the tach? what's the most popular spot and how would i run this wire if the tach wire is a part of the dash cluster?

ok if u look theres a vent right behind the tach i ran the wires through there its actually really easy to squezze in. The tach is crooked but thats easy to fix. if u take the screws from to cover under the steering wheel it should be like 4 screws. after taking that off pry up the part of the dash right before the driver side speaker on top of the dash use a flat head screw driver once thats up theres a few more just unclip them its not hard. once thats donetake the gauge cluster off theres 4 screws to that it might seem stuck when thescrews are out but just give it a tug once thats out there are to sets of wire get the one on the right and look for a grey wire with a light blue stripe thats the tach wire its thats easy if anyone wants to add if i missed anything say something

OK THANKS NOW AN UNRELATED QUESTION, WHY DOESN'T THE NON-SPORT MODELS NOT HAVE A LOW FUEL LIGHT? I HAD A 97 SPORT AND I HAVE A 97 SEDAN AND THE SPORT HAD A LOW FUEL LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.
