Hello.
I got Ford sierra 1600 CL (now it's 2000 but that's dosent matter to my question).

My friend gave the Gauge Board from Ford sierra 1800 CVH, the board comes with rev gauge. Now i want to put this board into my sierra, what i need to go to fit it? Thanks, pictures of the process will help.





Thanks and hello from israel, JEP.

 

Looking at the plug already on the car, and the plug you are holding, look for a light green colour wire, as this is the tacho feed wire, study the two plugs to make sure the car matches the plug on the tacho gauge sets plug, you may well need to remove some terminals with a thin screwdriver or similar and swap around till the car loom plug matches the plug that came with the clocks, you may also need to add the lights green if not in your loom, just take from negative side of the coil and it will work fine, assuming it was from another 4 cylinder car.

Didnt understand, mybe you have some pictures to help me?

Some guy told me that i need to cut my old plug, and connect evrey wire in the plug to the plug that i holding in my hand in that picture, then the wires that i have left, to connect to the coil. I need to send the green wire to the - of the coil and then it will work?

Thanks and sorry about my bad english, JEP.

 

Hi Jep,
Right don't cut the connector off at all.
Compare the positions of the wires in the connector that came with the clocks that you want to fit, with the existing connector already on the car, these need to match, so is a simple case of opening the rear of the connector block on the cars connector, and using a very small jewelers type screwdriver prise out any pins that don't match and move them around as necessary, till they match the connector that came with the clocks.
This will most likely leave you without a green wire, if so note the position of the green wire in the connector that came with the clocks, and remove this wire, and put it in the same position in the cars connector, it then leaves you with just one connection to make between the cut green wire now in the cars clock set and the negative - of the ignition coil to get the rev counter to work.
You will see when looking really carefully that you can prise the rear of the connector off, it is a hinged lid, then you will see a tiny square hole in the front/clock side of the connector, putting a pin, jewelers screwdriver etc in here will push back the sprung tab holding the terminals in the connector block, then easy to move around.

I dont have any clock in my old board. What's the color of the wire that comes for the light for the board?

Thanks, JEP.
