Jake Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 22, 2003 Author Share Posted March 22, 2003 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just have to put the wiring back to the way it was originally. grrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinL Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 I wonder how long it's going to be before something blows up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
