There's no brake components on the passenger side in the engine bay.... it's all on the driver side. Maybe I should have said 'open hood, look at firewall, look towards the left'.



When I found that pic of my truck, I realized it was like just 'left'/passenger side of the centerline of the firewall. lol.

 

there is something that LOOKS lik a brake booster but is not one on the pass. side

 

Right hand side brake boosters are only on JDM rangers....

 

If you are talking about the blower box then it looks nothing like a brake booster. Yeah its round but that's it.

 

Christian - you should know better, if its round, and in a vehicle.. it MUST be a brake booster!

(j/p guys)

 

I've got 4 brake boosters on each corner of my truck.

JKJK. /end hack.

 

Okay so i found a brown wire w/ a yellow stripe on my PCM and i tapped into that after i got everything else hooked up and it didnt work. Am i looking for a yellow wire with a brown stripe?

 

Tan/yellow not brown lol.

 

well w/e tan/brown same thing. either way, i tapped into it and it didnt work.

 

Did you also supply 12V power and ground to the tach per the instructions? The tan/yellow is just the tach signal wire; it will not power the tach on its own.

 

Ditto.

 

ditto x2

 

Yes i hooked everything else up and i tested it with a volt meter and it had power, the back light worked and everything else was hooked up. Still the didnt move when i started the truck or reved it.

 

sounds like you got the wrong wire and its time to come over to my pad and hook it up.

 

Okay, i bought a tester and i tested that my power and ground are both good. but that brown/yellow wire is not reading any power, even when the truck is on i got no power at all. Heres a pic of the wire that i tapped into on my PCM (Between my fingers in the pic). So i know for a fact now that its not that wire for the tach reading. (Yeah i know the wire im using to splice into it is black, i ran out of blue wire and thats all i had left lol, but it still gets current.)

 

Looking at those wires, I wanna say it's the green wire... Lemme check my books.

 

well Fx4wannabe told me it was the tan/yellow wire and its not reading any power. I checked on my freinds truck ( a 97' 2.3L ) and he tapped into the tan/yellow wire and his is working, but he tapped into it right behind the fuse box in the engine bay, not directly from the PCM like i did but that shouldnt make a difference.
