i think thats right. there are two plugs, one has about 8 wires coming out of it and the othe has two a black and a blue on. the blue one is your tach wire. tap into that and youll be set

yeah thats how i did it...i just un-plugged the plug with the two wires and slid a stripped wire in there(you have to put it in the side with the blue wire)...plugged it back up and it worked like a charm

there is also a blue wire by the firewall on the dirver side of the engine bay that has a rubber plug on it, that is the tach wire that the honda service department plugs into to do their checks. 98ctr

so you used the blue wire behind the cluster, and now the tach on your dash doesnt work, but your aftermarket one works? how did you wire it...did you do it all ghetto or did you do it right(using a spliter)
