On your alternator there should be a connection called "w" this is for tacho signal.
If your alternator does not have this it is probably from a gasser....

Might this be the reason my tach died today and the battery, brake, e.brake, and a couple other lights came on?

Check if your generator drivebelt is still there....

[Josh]

Its still there :) That was the first thing I checked.

i can't find the w connector olso i don't understand what you mean by gasser is there a wiring diagram or some pictures of the write connector in the d24t engine please someone help

[MRDART]

I will try to take a picture when I come home again it will be erliest on friday.
Gasser is a car with gasoline engine
