Help/advice Needed For Wiring In 205 Stdt Tacho Counter

Recommended Posts

FireFly

Trying to swap over to a STDT cluster from my GLD one as I want the rev counter to work.

There are a few differences between the two but I plugged in what I could and the speedometer worked but nothing else, no fuel gauge or oil temp response. Also none of the warning lights such as side lights, full beam, indicator etc don't appear to work.

Here's plenty of photos illustration the differences:

1) The standard cluster

2) The STDT cluster pins

4) The STDT cluster

5) The yellow socket that is only on the STDT cluster, presuming for rev counter?

6) A grey 4 pin socket that doesn't seem to fit anywhere on the STDT cluster?

7) A 306 XUD9 rev counter cable that might be useful?

8) The BE1 gearbox, can't see any connections to run the rev counter cable to.

I'm guessing the brown plug is for the reversing sensor.

So basically I'm guessing there is a cable that came on the STDT's that went from the tacho sensor housing straight to the cluster or?

A bit lost really when it comes to wiring...

There is a wiring loom that runs from the fuse box to the back of the instruments, it also feeds the hazards, demist, cig lighter etc. You need to get replace this loom for the STDT (or Dturbo possibly) item,

Engine speed sensor goes on the rear of the block just above the driveshaft.

Oh no. That isn't an option if it involves custom wiring.. I'm hopeless with car electrics!

I know where the black sensor end goes but the plug? Sounds like your describing where the black tacho sensor goes in the fly.

It's not custom, should be plug and play with the correct loom.
