Re: speedo fried- Need help fast 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Charles Alspaugh on  Wed Aug 1 18:06 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have an 89 245 DL. Depending on the year of your car, you may or may not have the same wiring scheme. If the info below doesn't help let me know what year you have and I will try to look your wiring diagram in my haynes manual.

I pulled my speedo this evening and this is what I found.

My speedometer/odometer wires appear to be together in one plastic connector. Wire colors are red, black, and blue. According to my Haynes manual red comes from the ignition switch, blue comes from the transmition and I am assuming black is the ground wire.

My Tach wires are red/white. (disconneted!!)

I have a yellow/red wire that plugs into the bottom corner of the cluster, (closest to the radio, ignition, etc). I believe this controls the "shift up" light.

All other wiring has custom connections that can only go one place on the cluster.

Hope this helps.
