hi mate, have u got the poverty spec clocks and your fitting some clocks with a rev counter??I will assume you are! heres a couple of pics of where the wires should go, the red one u dont use as its a live for the clock!I think u may need to link a earth wire over, U can easily pull the wires out of the plugs, so dont cut them.I hope this is what your doing otherwise i feel a bit of a dick any help just ask....done this a million times.

 

Hi orion_crazy_girl I am trying to find out what every wire is for so I can wire it into my mk2 orion the clocks I have now are standard 1600 clocks without a rev counter and the clocks I am trying to fit are xr3i ones

 

take the wires out, use the pictures as a reference to where each one goes,simples!

 

Thanks will try after weekend as I'm going to a show sunday

 

get haynes manual for 3i

 

Hiya I'm also doing this I have a escort mk4 pop the one with the clock in the dash, I'm just wondering as I have seen on here before something to do with getting the rev counter to work as I have the 1.3 ohv could anyone help me out here.

green wire off the EDIS , or off one side of the coil, depending on if u got EFI or MFI clocks

 

How would i know the difference between the clocks, the only thing i can think of is that my fuel gauge is on the right.
Cheers mate
