Tachometer rev counter wiring issue.
Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2017 7:13 pm
Hi I recently purchased a mark 3 Capri 2.0. Rev counter not working.
I've done a bit of reading and realise that there should be a green wire going from -side of coil to the tacho. I've checked with a meter. There is a black wire going from + side to a connector where it joins 3 green wires. One goes to tacho. However when I disconnect the 2 green wires there is still continuity with the other green.
So it's not as simple as swapping over to the - side of coil.
I'm afraid of doing damage or affecting running of the ignition circuit.
I can't find a proper wiring diagram.
Thanks in advance
