I tried using a bent paperclip, but it just went pop like all the fuses. I guess i have a short somewhere, but i'll be damned if i'm going to start looking for it! I can live without a rev counter, but can't live without a 205 because its burnt itself to death through dodgy wiring! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest PacMan Posted July 12, 2003 hi all yeh i checked the fuse all is ok had car for 2/3 yrs can it be anything else joe What about the connections on the coil? Have you checked them? I think i'm right in saying thats where the rev counter gets its signal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuqa 0 Posted July 13, 2003 i would check the feed off the coil first.. thats where the rev counter gets its signal.. also, double check the brown mulitplug connections under the dash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stew205 17 Posted July 13, 2003 It should be the green wire on the negative side of the coil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
