Guest ruffryder Posted March 30, 2010 I dont know the wire colours but pin 1 is 12V, pin 2 is earth and pin 3 is input from coil. pin 4 is not used. cheers bud.dont mean to be rude but have you any clue why my rev counter still aint working iv spent the last 3days trying to source out the problem but still nothing i have checked all earths the signal converter box and changed the zener diode tested all the connections changed fuse checked all connecting blocks in fuse board compartment and still it dont work but when i first start the car the needle wants to work but then drops back down im totally out of ideas now so please if any 1 could help me or give me an idea or even if there is a way of wiring it direct to the rev counter also i have tested the live at rev counter end and still appears to be 12v there when i thought it was supposed to be down to 5v from the signal box.cheers any help would be very much appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ade 4wd 11 Posted March 31, 2010 did the rev counter just stop working or has it never worked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,528 Posted March 31, 2010 I don't mean to be rude either, but how the hell can we help you when you are only telling us half the story? From the mention of a convertor box I'm guessing that the car is far from standard and is using some kind of aftermarket ignition or ECU. So if that is the case why not start again with a bit more detail about the problem, such as what ECU is it, what coil/s/pack is it, has the rev counter ever worked properly, what kind of convertor are you using etc etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest miguel_cj Posted April 2, 2010 hello!! i'm portuguese and my english is not very good, but i'll try to make myself clear. the standard gti dashboard\clocks have a plug in connector with 4 pins. The first should be white, number C1J. This wire is 12v. The second should be green with yellow stripes, number M1J. This is the earth wire. The third should be yellow, number 112. This wire is the input from coil. The fourth wire is only used for diesel models. If you have a diesel, connect it to wire 112A. I hope this is useful!
