hi i've just put in a astra gte digi dash in my mk4 escort and i think i got everything working except the speedo can anyone help.... and its not very bright in day light any ideals????thanks

 

What you using for the speed signal?

 

i put one in my estate a couple years ago,you will need the speedo sensor to screw into the speedo drive on the gearbox,it will screw straight on to your gearbox

 

I have put a few of these in a nova,mk3 cab and a Sapphire.The Sapphire was the easiest because the transducer screwed straight on the the Sapp bulkhead because it was a two part cable I think due to it having a fuel computer.Mk4 dont have the dimmer do they like the GTE or Sapphire.

 

i've got the astra speedo cable

 

no the mk4s dont hav dimmers on them,mine lights up pretty well so it might be how youve wired it up

 

its not a speedo cable its a sensor that screws onto the gearbox,it will have 3 wires coming from it,1 wire goes straight to the dash and the other 2 go to the live and earth on the battery iirc

 

I didnt think there was a cable ? It is 10 years since I have owned a GTE though.
I thought the transducer screwed straight on to the box ?.

 

cheers thats what i have. i will give it a try next weekend.

 

sorry, yes it does. i've got the whole thing.
