Rev Counter Doesn't Work

[qwerty 9]

hi

 

My rev counter has never work on my 205 Mi16,originally a 1.9 8v

 

I've tried fiddling with the wires but don't really know what I'm doing

 

I have a separate rev counter from halfords stuck to the dash which a rigged up, works fine.

 

Can anyone tel me how to get the one on the car working?

 

Cheers

Should work fine, so assuming that it worked OK on the 8v engine I can only assume that you've made a wiring error when converting the loom - assuming your car is a Phase 1.5/Phase 2, the rev counter wire from the Mi16 loom should connect to the grey wire #112 on the smaller of the two underdash wiring plugs.

excellent

 

i didn't do the conversion so not sure what happened with the wiring, its a bit messy though

 

I'l have a look at what you have suggested though

 

do you know the colour of the Mi16 loom wire for the rev counter?

 

is it possible to just bypass the loom and just go direct from the clock to the coil to get a signal?

 

Cheers mate.

You've had the most accurate reply from Anthony.

 

Why haven't you just taken whatever feed you have from the engine for the Halford's rev counter and tested it to grey wire 112 as per his advice?

 

We can't just keep pouring advice at you until we know what you've tried fella.

look at the rev counter plug on the back of the dash clocks. the where abouts of the plug is explained on the main page under exterior and interior

 

the green wire goes to earth

the blue goes to the coilpack negative

the white wire goes to a battery positive using a red fuse. top right somewhere on the board using number 1 fuse, just tap into an ignition live if you cant find it..

 

ive done a massive amount of searching and the white wire where abouts isnt clear

Have given that a try mate,

 

have simply ran the three wires (white M32, green M?2B, blue 112) direct from the back plug on the clock to the battery, blue coil wire and earth wire onto body,

 

still nothing happening with the clock though

 

Could it be a broken clock?

 

Will lookout for some new clocks

 

Cheers
