Speedo : Will this work?

Recommended Posts

My car's previous owner had the Odometer converted to read in Miles and the legend next to the mileage says "MILES" too.

However the speedo itself hasn't been converted, it's just got one of those tacky 110mph replacement faces.

I want to convert the speedo to read correctly with the Std up to 180mph face.

I've stripped all the dash out but I can't see how the odometer was converted. It definately does clock up in miles though.

 

Would it work if I just cut the Blue and Red speedo wire and Tee'd the speedo end of it it to the Blue and Red wire that goes to the odo ?

 

I'm guessing it's probably not that simple, but I was hoping.

Anyone know ?

 

Thanks guys

OK well I went ahead and did it but it didn't work :(

The speedo was completely dead, didn't move at all

and the odo has stopped clocking up.

Also the indicators don't work now.

 

Guess I'm off to check the fuses now . . .

errrmm where are the fuses located ? :)

Well the fuses under the bonnet all look ok.

I'll just have to put the wiring back to the way it was originally.

 

grrrrr
