in my 1989 1.6 classic sierra sapphire

i want to convert my clocks to rev counter
i also want to wire in electric windows

now i no my cr is "poverty spec" with no wiring at all for anything

but i'd love to be able to change this

can this be done?

can i convert my car to take clocks with a rev counter? an electric windows?

is it a big job or wat wiring loom do i need?

anyone any info or has anyone done this before?

thanks folks

 

Can't remember if the leccy windows are part of the car loom or seperate, remember there was a thread on here where someone coulden't find the connections, but in my own mind I should think it is part of the "high spec" car loom.

If so it shoulden't be to that hard to wire in yourself if your half decent with electrics, as this will be easier than replacing a complete car loom!

Rev counter is pretty easy, you simply need to supply the counter with a switched live supply and ground on the switched side of the coil (Green wire), a rev counter essentially is just a scaled voltmeter.

You can get an aftermarket job or the CORRECT one for your car, i.e. dash out of a higher trim level model.

yea i wanted to upgrade my dash from the old style to the newer style dash an get my fog lights wired also
there is nothing there at all

so i need a loom from a car which came standard with electric windows an so on?

without splicing into wires i'd rather just swap the loom IF its not a major job

im not great with electrics but me an a mate converted my cavalier to electric windows an mirrors, but that loom seperated into 2

were as the sierra im not sure has any wiring at all lol

 

I know does yours have the 130MPH speedo?

Don't hold me to it but I should THINK the leccy windows are part of the car loom, someone will come along and say for sure I should think, I have never had to touch that side so it's not something I know for sure.

yea it has 130mpg speedo
temp an fuel to the left

 

leccy window loom is seperate from rest of loom just need 12+ from fuse board and the loom earths in the footwells on the pillars

 

can i add the leccy loom into my original loom?

im no expert on this as when i fitted recaro's i had a quick look an found no wiring under the carpets, never checked footwells

even a pic or diagram to show what i need an were it goes
