I'm going to be installing a remote starter in a 98 sable, where is the tach wire located and color? Any wiring diagrams needed for install would be appreciated. Is this vehicle PATS? Is the best bypass to use dei 555F?

This vehicle has PATS on it as well. Use 555F universal bypass module

Thanks for the information! posted_image

One more question though, is the powertrain control module (for tach wire location) behind the passenger side dash above the PS kickpanel like the pontiacs??

It will be in the engine bay. Coil & Harness behind intake manifold at back of engine compartment.
