wickmyster Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I have just installed a GT dash into my escort van but the rev counter is not wroking. I have power to the plug that joins to the coil and it is earthed. But there is the white wire joined to it self looped and is held there by a clip thing with a little nut. What does this do? is it meant to be joined to something??? How do I get me Tacho going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Yeah take the switched wire, ie the one from the coil neg to the points and make it run through the white wire in your GT dash. So take it from the coil neg into the cabin to the white wire run the other end back out to the engine bay and connect it to the points. If you have electronic ignition you just need the switched wire and wire it the same. When it is all done if the tach doesn't work reverse the way you have joined to the wite wire. The little clamp is an inductive pick up, sometimes they are sensitive to which way the current flows. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
