2006 mishibishi outlander tach wire?

Can someone please tell me where exactly the tach wire in a 2006 mishibishi outlander......this is what i found on the net, but don't know exactly where.

Tachometer Wire Negative Wire (-): WHITE/ Green
Tachometer Wire Negative Wire Location: At Engine Speed Detection Connector. The engine speed detection connector is a single pin connector in the fuse/relay box under the hood.

but when i open the hood up, i see bunch of fuses and don't know which one they are talking about.  if some one can give me little more detail and perhap the picture of it, that would be awesome. thanks in advance.

If this wire is being used for a remote start Tach input signal, you could just connect to the #1 Fuel Injector Orange wire.  Might be easier to locate.  All quality remote starters are able to tach learn the F.I. signal.

To test the Tach wire with a Digital Multi Meter, set the meter for 20 V AC and connect the Black lead to chassis ground and the Red lead to the suspect wire.  Should show between 1 to 6 volts and increase with RPMs.

is that mean that I don't have to use this wire?  I am installing the remote start viper 5101 to this vehicle.  I wonder if anyone have the wire diagram which wire hook to which for this vehicle and this remote start.  I  also use the by pass 791 module.  Do you know which wire from 791 module hook to the viper 5101 and the vehicle?  I did have the spare key installed.  thanks for you quick respond.

The Viper should be able to use the Fuel Injector as a Tach Source.  After you locate and verify the wire,
make sure the connection is soldered.  Set the Viper to Tach mode and do the Tach Learn sequence.

The Bulldog 791 bypass has only 3 wires to connect.  The Red wire goes to +12 v constant.  The Orange wire
goes to Chassis ground and the Blue wire goes to the Vipers' (-) 200mA Status Output ( usually Blue ).  Run
the antenna wire / loop to the ignition cylinder as described in the install guide.

As for the wiring guide, Bulldog Secutity has it.  Here is a link to their web site :  https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.asp
AudioVox has a wiring guide also.  Here is their link :  https://techservices.audiovox.com/Login.aspx   Sign-up is free.

The preferred way is to use the Tach mode for starting the vehicle.  That requires a Tach signal input. 
The Viper can run in Virtual Tach mode but depending on the vehicle it may not be as reliable as Tach mode.

Each injector will have two wires. One colour is common to all the injectors, just pick any of the others. (Square rail on top of cylinder head). Test as above.
Actually this vehicle isn't on the guide here, try Bulldog.

Check your power and grounds with a DMM, check to see if you're getting output, leave the key in the ignition then try a R/S, answer these queries and tell us what happens. Do you get instrument panel lights coming on?

i will test the ground when i get home tonight.  i tried with the key inside the ignition, but no sucesse.  it's beeping 7 times when try to remote start it with the key or without.  No panel lights come on at all.  that's really weird.  I installed these remotes start before and very rare i see this problem.  does all wires connectiong look ok???  thanks.

Check the installation guide, if your vehicle is an auto, have you programmed it as such?

Connect H3/2 to +12v constant.  It supplies the Flex relay power.

Connect Remote Start Input Pin 2 Violet/White Tach input wire to a verified Tach source.  Make sure Viper is set to Tach Mode. ( Menu 3 Menu Item 2 Option 4. )  Start with key and do Tach Learn process.

Connect the Remote Start Input Pin 1 BLACK/ White Neutral Safety switch wire to chassis ground. ( Assuming automatic transmission )

Still assuming automatic transmission, did you change Menu 3 Menu Item 1 to Option 2?

HEAVY GAUGE REMOTE START (H3) 8 PINS CONNECTOR

H3/1 pink----------------to ignition Blue/Black
H3/2 RED / white-----------to NOT CONNECT

H3/2 RED / white also connected to 12 volt and still getting the 7 beeps.

H3/3 orange--------------to accessory 1 Blue/Red

this H3/3 Blue/Red in the car is NOT accessory wire. when I turn the key to ACC; no power going through. then I turn to next turn and power came in through.

H3/4 violet--------------to starter BLACK / YELLOW
H3/5 red-----------------to 12 volt
H3/6 pink/white----------to accessory 2 Blue / YELLOW NOT SURE TO THE RIGHT CONNECTION???

I don't have any way to test the 2nd accessory wire from the car.

H3/7 pink/black----------to NOT CONNECT
H3/8 RED / black-----------to 12 volt

I verified the Negative wire, it's fine. the weird thing is I never see a primary connection for remote start doesn't have the large negative wire, real odd...unless I missed some how. the only 2 wires go to ground is the orange from 791 and negative from h1/5.

I still can't find which of the wire is go to the tach. but i think the car will try to start without the tach wire right?

Could it be the remote module is in manual car mode...my vehicle is automatic. I read the manual instruction and not able to under stand how to change the mode to automatic. are there any easier instruction out there? Viper is good brand, but they installation instruction really need to prove, too damn long and complicated. thank you so much for your help guys....i try to prepare before the winter come for my kids early morning school.

The best way to test wires in your vehicle is with a Digital Multi Meter.  A plain circuit tested ( with a 12 volt light bulb and even some with LEDs ) will draw too much current and could damage the computer circuits in the vehicle.  Just guessing will damage more.

Re H3/3 and the ACC wire.  The correct accesssory wire will show +12v in the ON position and will go to 0v in the Start position.  It might show +12v in the ACC position, however things like Heat / AC fans, compressors, etc are not powered in the ACC position.  The sources I checked indicate you have two ACC wires, Blue/Red and Blue / YELLOW.   Did you change the Flex Relay option over to ACC2 from IGN2?  (The car should start without any ACCs connected.)

Seven blink error code says you are in Mantual Transmission mode.  See earlier post for programming option to change.

While Tach Mode is the most reliable, you could try to run it in Voltage or Virtual Tach mode.  Again, a DMM is the best way to locate and verify a Tach wire.

As with a lot of other newbies, reading my bye line below would solve an awful lot of problems before you contact us, also RTFM.
