Cluster wiring Diagram 200 1988

I purchaed a 1998 240 DL last summer, the speedometer worked but the odometer did not. I'm not sure it matters, but just in case, it is a K10042. I had purchased a new cluster, installed it, the speedometer was jumping all over, the odometer worked for about 2 miles, then I noticed smoke coming from the cluster and shut down the car.

I reinstalled my old cluster and again the speedometer worked but the odometer did not. I purchased a replacement cluster, same problem. The gear on my original was broke, the one on the replacement cluster was not. I replaced the gear on my original but it still did not work, but again, the speedometer on both did and does. I'm wondering if somehow I've screwed up the wiring, I've been careful to rewire it as it was, but it may have been miswired when I purchased it, the car does have cruise control. Does anyone have a picture or diagram of how it is supposed to be.

Thanks,

Mark

    does it have the large tach? if not, the don't use the white/red wire that hangs by itself on the non-tach cluster. i've heard, but never seen, that the tach wire will smoke the cluster. good luck, chuck.

      Thanks Chuck, I may have done that when I "smoked" a replacement I received, although I hooked it up the way it was when I purchased it and the original cluster was not damaged except for the odometer not working. Does the odometer work off the same data fed to the speedometer? It appears that is has only one wire feed into it.

        The odometer does run off the speedometer wires. There should be 3 going into it, in a flat plug.

        It's easy to mistakenly hook up that tach wire and smoke the speedo, unless you tape over the terminal on the tach wire. I did it once, and it wasn't pleasant. Fortunately I had a parts speedometer, so I just swapped out the board.
