Tacho Dash In To Ke70 Panel Van

[iwontarolla]

So i have a ae71 tacho dash, i'm going to put it in my ke70 panel van. but none of the plugs line up, I've found a guide on toymod http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/tech-conversions/568-ke70-panel-van-dash.html

still kinda can't get my head around it. any help would be great, i still have the 4k in my pano as well.

thanks chris

Pretty sure all the wiring/plugs is totally different.

Plugs are the same, wiring is different.

 

All you do, pull your cluster out, then copy the wiring diagram that's in that Toymods thread, you need to change it so your wires are the same as ADM KE70, it's fairly straight forward, the wires just unclip and you clip them into the new plug position. Did it in my panelvan but i couldn't get the factory water temp gauge to work which isn't a big deal.

Should only take a hours

How does the tacho get it's signal?

The tacho gets it's signal from the negative terminal on the coil I think.

[iwontarolla]

Well it should do, but I'm guessing I have to put that one in wouldn't i?

I was literally out driving and remembered that, run a wire from negative part of coil to where the tacho signal is in the plug.

[iwontarolla]

yea i thought you had to as the panel van doesn't have the tacho signal. I guess i just have to trace back from the tacho to what plug it is or do you remember?

its a black wire in the plug closest to the indicator side

did it today every thing works expect dash lights but ill fix that. sadly i shorted out the clock some how so got to find another one or fix it depending on what blow. that guide worked great. there where just couple wire that weren't the same. tacho works I'm going to check it some time soon to see if its accurate

[iwontarolla]

okay hit a problem, i toke it for a drive today and when i hit about 5 grand the tacho just drops down to 0. does any one know what would cause this?

Does anyone know if there is another place to find the toymods guide?

 

Their forums seem to be down...

You can try installing a 1kohm resistor in the tacho wire and see if that helps needle stability.

Site is back up - interwebz won't allow me to download the file.

 

If someone has a copy and could email it to me that would be great...
