i just bought a 96 cherokee country v6 and i need to know where the tach wire is at to hook up an after market tacho . please anyone help would be awsome and pics would be great!!!

idk where the wire is but swapping in an xj gauge cluster that already has a tach would be easier if you just wanted the tach.

you have to tap into one of the 2 wires that go into the ignition coil (cant remember which one).

I mounted mine here too.

Mine is wired to act just like a stock gauge, light dim and everything.

sorry for the bad pic

The neg. side of the coil will be the input wire that you need to hook up too. Usually a green wire for the tach, red for power, black for ground, and white or yellow for the back light.

Its a i6not a v6, simple look under the hood would tell you that.
Just watch the video (which is not mine, btw). Green=Tach White=gauge dim (I used the pos wire to my shifter lights) red=Pos black=Neg. Not hard to do.
Use a wire tap, or strip off the insulation and wrap it in electrical tape.
