I've just started to fit a KPH to MPH converter. I've removed the clocks from the car and exposed the loom / plugs.

The instructions that came with the converter say the signal wire should be either L.Brown / Blue (white connecter, right row 2nd from bottom) or Yellow / Blue (centre connector, 3rd wire).

This doesnt match with what I have. Are there different coloured wires in the looms for different year of car?

If so, what colour should the signal wire be on a 1990 car.

Yeh, the wire colours seems to vary.

Use the connector pin position.

How do I confirm that the connector is the right one?, as one should be a white connector the other is the centre connector.

Is there any way to prove, test or trace the wire.

Assuming you have a Series-1 speedo, you cut the wire that goes to the "Pulse In" shown on this photo:

Yup, its a series 1 TT. I'll wait for the black clouds to pass and have another look.

Cheers mate.

Oh, just another quicky. The "+" feed for the converter, does it matter where the feed is taken from?, or as long as it is a switched "+" and not permanent it doesn't matter.

No, just give it the +ve feed.

Cheers!

Woohoo, it works!:hyper:

 

Cheers for your help Graham.

No problem mate.

Call me a nutter but i drove mine and had a friend touch the signal wire on all the other connections till the speedo worked haha.
