tach wire location

I am installing a remore start on my 2004 6.0l diesel. wiring chart says it is a green/white wire in a harness behind the parking brake release. i opened a harness and found two green/white wires??????? is this correct. i assume i need a clean tach signal. any ideas on if these wires are correct, or where would i find it

Welcome to FTE!
The wire may be Lt. Green/White. It's located in the same wire loom as the "Customer Access Wires". The cut end ones that lead into the engine compartment.

The installer of my remote start said that there is digital tach and had to use the build in time delay 25 sec works just fine.

try: www.the12volt.com
Tachometer NOT red/lt. green ac any ignition coil
Notes: On diesel vehicles the tach wire is green/white in a 5 wire harness held up with white tape behind the parking brake release.

it is in a group of about 5 or 6 wires that are held up with white electrical tape that is up above the parking brake assembly. I found it easier to look straight back behind the fuse panel Look for the white electrical tape. I think it was also maked customer access

hope this helps It took me about 6 hours to find mine
