Mk1 rev counter sender unit
Ok guys a quick Q,
Where does the rev counter in the cluster get its data from? I have a new cluster but the rev counter is dead, i suspect the sender unit to be fault if there is such a thing...
Everything else on the cluster works

Re: Mk1 rev counter sender unit
Did your old cluster not have a rev counter? if not and u fitted one to accomodate rev counter, then the signal comes from the negative of your 2 pin coil.

Re: Mk1 rev counter sender unit
thank you velly much. will check tomorrow moring. the old cluster did have a rev counter, but the board connector was f'ed. so got a new one. the rev counter has never worked. so thus i believe that to be the problem. ill look for a wiring diagram for the cluster online. to make sure that the wire is running to the coil.

Re: Mk1 rev counter sender unit
Bru its pin 4 on dicktator that supplies rev counter signal. you using square dash cluster so it will work fine without resistors etc.
Have you had your bottle of Hatorade today?

Re: Mk1 rev counter sender unit
I had the same problem but I have the new dash. I have a old wiring loom laying around. Will have a look and maybe trace the wires for you.
Check this. Here the guys say on the old dash its the thick green wire but dont see a thick green wire on your wires.
