Default escort dash (rev counter) help

hi guys, im new here! just been looking on internet and magazines for some help on my escort, and came across this site and thought you guys might be able to sort my problem.



iv got a ford escort 1996 1.3 cfi encore (im 17!! insurance!!). iv done a few things to it, mudflaps, spotlamps, cd player not much, but iv recently bought higher spec dials from ebay. now everything works apart from the rev counter. im not sure how to wire it up. i know usually green wire off the coil, but this things got full electronic ignition. so i avnt got a clue!!

so anyone knows could they please let me know!! thankyou for taking the time to read this!!!

Hi guys, after abit of reading wiring diagrams and research, i think i know how to wire it.

Aparently pin2 of the edis module is ment to go 2 a rev counter. this wire is present on my module but i have no idea where it goes. because i really dont have time 2 find out, im thinkin scotch connecter, straight 2 the binicle plug! does this sound about right, i hope so!! will try later!!

I'd suggest before you go altering the wires in any way, try connecting the wire by pushing it into the connector so it makes contact with the terminal holding the wire you are refering to.

this way you can check you do indeed have the right wire, and if so, then go ahead and connect to it, if not, then you haven't got to patch up the wire you've just put a cut in........

make sense??

Hope that helps...........
