Look for the alternator and there will be a stator wire somwhere on the alternator. It will usually be a smaller gauge wire and generally by itself. The wire in question has 1-6 volts with the ignition ON and when running it is has 9-14 volts.

i tested the wires by the alternator but none of them show the one to six volts. i hooked up the wire to a fuel injector wire but the alarm says it still hasnt detected the cars RPM. i took out the guage to find the tach but there were four bolts next to the tach. sin - and + also cos - and +, so i dont know which is the one for me.
no still havent found the tach wire, the blue/tan wire doesnt show one to six either.    i stink at this 12volt business...
also theres a brown wire from the alarm harness do i need to attach it someplace or is it just a second ignition extra.??

Since your car does not have a 2nd ignition you do not need to hook up that wire.
Tape it and leave it alone.

well im haveing trouble finding the ignition coil... its not as simple as my old mustang. :( even a buddy of mine couldnt find it.     now i heard to test a tach wire if it is real a tach wire is to use a volt meter and see if it has one to six volts while engine running and while reving volts go up.   now i havent found the coil gray wire but what i tried is takeing the dash out (four spots for the RPM meter) one of them showed seven.xx volts and while reving went up, hooked up my tach wire and the alarm couldt detect it. so i tried, what aperantly is similar, is the fuel injector wires, four cylinders two wires a piece. first cylinder tried the one wire then the other. alarm still cant learn engine rpm. i found the blue tan wire but it shows thirteen.xx volts not the one to six that a tach wire aperantly supost to. the grey i cant seem to find and the coil either.            what do you guys think??

03 wrangler manual 2.4
galaxy alarm for manual tranny
hooked up tach to what i believe is the tach wire right behind the guage(constant 7.xxvolts while reving increses) and also tried fuel injector wires both.
alarm still chirps four times meaning cant detect engine rpm. am i missing something??
p.s. this site is awesome and helpful:)

Voltage sense is a setting in the alarm/remote start itself. On my Viper, you go to menu 3 using the programing button and change the engine sense from Tach to Voltage. Then you don't have to hook up the tach wire at all. I'm not sure how your galaxy system is programed/lets you program it, but look in your installation manual under programing and you should find something there.
