Anywho..on with the question.  I want to hook up a tach to my focus.  I really don't want to go with the tachdriver because well...its 100 bux that I could spend elsewhere.   Now my friend hooked up one of those 7" tachs to his honda however he ran the Tach Signal line to the guage cluster.  He told me I could probably do the same.  Has anyone done this?  I know that the tachless foci's have the ability to adopt a cluster from a tach'ed focus as Nos4Me2Go did this mod to his focus already. 

Any advice on this would be greatly apreciated.  I want to attempt this hookup on thursday.  If you are wondering...the tach I am installing is just a 2" tach that is currently mounted on my A pillar in a dual A pillar pod.

Pin 48 from the ECU harness is the tach signal feed. However, if you go to P+G or another wrecker's around town... installing a Focus instrument cluster with a tach is a much easier and cleaner event than the alternative.

I honestly don't know the best way to tap into the harness's pin 48 feed aside from a T-splice. Everything else is jury-rigged at best.

I believe Focus Hacks has the complete how-to, and it's in the complete collection of PDFs hosted from here as well in the How-Tos subforum.
