Speedo Not Working
Hi Guys/Gals,
Picked my new Cally up last weekend and the speedometer is not working, the car is an SE8 with 3.0L V6 conversion so is using the V6 wiring loom/clocks, the car is also fitted with a LSD so the Traction Control unit has been disconnected, do you think this is the reason that the speedo is not working? I know the speedo is electronic but dont know if the circuit runs through the TC unit or is there any other reason why it would not work - common problem with clocks for example?
Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions

Re: Speedo Not Working
se8 has a cable driven speedo, when i converted the redtop i swapped the abs pump aswell to make sure the speedo would work properly aswell as the dash wiring loom

Thanks for the info, have contacted the guy i bought it off and he says that the dash and full wiring loom is out of a Cally V6 but the ABS pump is the original SE8 item, will i just have to change purely the ABS pump for a V6 item then or is there more to it than that - is it a direct swap?
Thanks in advance,

Re: Speedo Not Working
Do you know which wire it is that supplies the signal to the speedo, at least if i knew this i could remove the connector from the ABS system and see if the cable is present as listed in the ABS system details on www.v6calibra.net just dont want to end up changing the clocks and the speedo still not work
My thinking is that the connector is the same on the 2 different ABS units but obviously only the V6 one supplies the output, the car has the V6 clocks/loom but the signal is not been supplied to the clocks which would mean that if i change the ABS unit to a V6 one it should work???
Cheers again,
