Does anyone know what it means when the info says 2 cylinder set for the tach. Is there some special hook up for this. I tried it on a 1999 windstar that said this, and had to go tachless because the remote would not pick up the tach signal. posted_image

This means that the tach signal is defaulted for a 2 cylinder tach signal pick up. The Windstar is a 4 cylinder so you will need to program the unit to pick up a 4 cylinder tach signal.
