Supra Gaz Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 If you knocked the speedo needle it may have got stuck, you may have to remove it and then put it back on carefully. I had that problem when I changed my dials, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's your convertor alright. I'm sure my wires are different colours unfortunately. If they are wrong the speedo won't do diddly, what make is the convertor? It should be on the small box.

Abz Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Have you connected the dimmer light switch? I believe when I did mine I panicked my wasn't working and then noticed I hadn't connected the dimmer switch on the right hand side of the dash.

Homer Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 That's a nasty way to do the conversion, I'd be wanted to rip that all out and do it properly for a start! Can you post a pic of the convertor box as it'll help give an idea what you have there. Most of the cheap ebay ones don't send a corrected output for the variable power steering assistance which can make the car horrible to steer...
