finding tach wire for 06 Corolla

Ah, that's the hard way. Around the instrument cluster is a black plastic trim panel. On the top of the trim panel is one plastic "screw" that is part of a little clip to keep the panel in place. Remove the "screw", remove the clip that's in there with it, and pop the black panel off. You don't have to mess with the instrument cluster itself. You can see the wires coming straight out the top, with just enough room to work. Starting from the extreme left (driver's side) edge of the wiring, catch the FIRST black wire you see----that's tach.

I've tried that and always end up cussing at the stupid little plastic screw! It never cooperates with me.....Mike M2

thanks for catching that Mike M2, now that i look at the pic, those are definately coils.........

Thanks for all of the help. Come to find out, my problem was the ingnition wasn't reading the transponder from the spare key. I had to take the chip out of the key and mount it beside the ignition. Works great now.

On most new toyotas you can grab tach at the OBDII connector. Its black and I think its at pin 10. Don't worry, I know it sounds scary but tagging it there doesn't affect a scan tools ability to read anything.Northstart.....or start it your damn self.
