I hate to do this but..yet another tach question

i've got a 2001 civic lx and im installing an aftermarket tach, im using the wires on the back of the instrument cluster to hook it up..i've got power, ground and illumination..i just dont know which wire gets the rpm signal..does anyone know? im sorry for another tach question, but ive tried looking and it seems that everyone is using this tach test wire thats by the battery..but i tried looking for it and i can't find it..if anyone has a picture of it with an arrow pointing to it that'd be rad.

Thanks

from what i hear its a blue(i think that is the color) wire behind the battery that you use for the rpm signal.

^^^ yup. There's a blue wire located behind your passenger headlight/infront of your battery... you can't miss it. Tap the RPM signal wire to it (don't ask me why it's there... it just is).
