SOURCE: Where do you find the tach wire in a 2001 GMC jimmy?

The computer should be located under the hood. It's silver and has two large connectors with about 160 wires distributed between the two. GM usually parks that computer by the battery on top of a fender well.

Testimonial: "Thanks. But is there any way you could supply a photo for me to look at so i make sure I know where and what it looks like, instead of me being unsure if what im digging into is the right one?"

Tachometer stopped working. Is it some sensor that I can fix myself?

Year/make/model?

If it has an ignition control module there will be a "tach out" wire it is usually white in color, you can check that wire for tach signal. If no signal replace Ignition control module. If it has proper signal it is likely a bad gauge in the instrument cluster.

Where's the ignition module location on a 1997 Dodge Neon?

the ignition "control" module is internal to the engine control module. however the ignition coil is mounted right on top of the engine on the valve cover. don't forget to unlock the lock on the connector before unplugging it or you might break the connector trying to unplug it

Installing tach on 1997 airstream motorhome with chevy 454 gas power plant need color code for -side coil wire for tach pulse or other way to hook it up

That should be the white wire rom the dist to coil. eather way you will not hurt the tach if you were to get it wrong. There are only two wires. I would look at the distributor and on the top of the cap there it writing and it will say tach an you can plug it directli into that.
