Todays job was to look at refitting a tacho into my 1975 2200SC. It used to have one many years ago as it is featured in a classic car mag and clearly seen in the photo.
Step one remove speedo....tick
Care note taken to wiring, and took lamp cluster off to limit cross wiring.
Step two locate tacho wiring.... um.
Nope.
Step three check under bonnet for wiring there.... nope.
Ahh located tacho wiring. I must thank whoever removed the tacho many years ago for the nice and tidy way in which they carefully cut the wires right back into the loom and sealed them Brilliant cheers mate.
Oh well rebuild speedo and forget about tacho. Tick.
Test out car (which was 100% working before)
Lights yep
Horn yep
Brake warning lamp. No
Ign lamp yep.... wait a minute nope doesnae go off.
External check off lights..yep
Fuses ..yep
Not only can i not fit the tacho but now have no brake warning lamp and an ign lamp thats permanently on.
Scatches head... anyone out there got any bright ideas?.
