The input comes from the ignition coil. Give us the year of your Bronco and we can give your the color of the wire.

in the 80's it was a green/yellow wire.

oh I saw that we are in the Diesel chapter, sorry....

The input for a Diesel tach comes from a sensor which is mounted in front of the injection pump. The sensor counts the rotation from the drive gear....

Ok, I will look into that. Maybe my sensor is bad. My tach works either a little, or just stays on zero.
Thanks.
Oh, my truck is a 1985 w/6.9. Sorry for the confusion. I had the bronco first.
