Default RS2K MK6 Digital dial information

Anyone wants to fit the later Escort dials (also found on Puma and Fiesta MK5) this should help.

just match them up the digi plug with the blue and white plug info

White plug

1 : Violet – Positive(Switched)
2 : Empty – Low Fuel Warning
3 : Empty - Low Washers Warning
4 : Black/Green – Glow Plug??
5 : Black - Earth
6 : White – Fuel Level
7 : White/Green – Water Temperature
8 : Black/Yellow - Handbrake
9 : 1 Black/Red wire & 1 Black/Green wire - ABS
10 : 2 Black wires - Earth
11 : Violet/White – Main Beam
12 : Orange/Blue - Illumination


Blue Plug

1 : Blue/Black – Indicator (left)
2 : Blue/Green – Indicator (right)
3 : Black/Yellow - Door Ajar Warning
4 : Black/Green – Traction Control Warning
5 : Empty - ??
6 : Black/Green – (Switched Positive)(Goes down to number 12 on BLUE plug)
7 : Blue - Alternator
8 : White/Black - Tachometer
9 : Black/Red - Airbag
10 :White/Green – Oil Warning
11 : Empty - ??
12 : Empty - Positive (Switched??)(Linked from No12 on WHITE plug)


Digi Plug

1 premanent 12v (taken from elsewhere as its not in the blue or white plugs)
2 12v switched (on the plugs, linked to pin 22)
3 spare
4 spare
5 spare
6 spare
7 left indicator
8 illumination
9 system monitor (wire to ground)
10 alternator
11 oil indicator
12 handbrake
13 ABS
14 spare
15 spare
16 air bag
17 ground
18 vehicle speed sensor (taken from cable in ecu)
19 spare
20 spare
21 tachometer
22 12v switched (linked to pin 2)
23 fuel s/com (wire to ground)
24 fuel ref (fuel guage)
25 water temperature
26 ground
27 ground
28 ground

The fuel pump will need to be removed and the wires switched over that are near/on the float, otherwise the fuel gauge will read in reverse.

With a bit of work any dials can fit, just depends how much time, money and relevance it would be. These i would say would fit, but are certainly not a direct replacemt like they are for the MK6.
