they can either take the signal from the W connector on the alternator or from the coil -ve terminal pulses.

the other two wires are a ground and a live.

there are a few videos on youtube

wherdja get that from? I bought the cheapest one I could find off of eBay, it's a 4-6-8 switchable 32mm TIM one and cost about 30 quid. Wire it in like it says in the destructions and job's a goodun. Mine's on an SD1 engine.

as said, comes off the coil -ve with a life feed off the fusebox and a ground.
