Grim.Badger 15 Posted August 5, 2008 Seemingly after I fiddled with a couple of wires in the fusebox the rev counter stopped working. I know wire 2a is working as the reverse light takes its feed from it (had to bodge as the original reverse light feed doesn't work for some reason) but I don't know what other wires or fuses I could have broken to stop it from working. Any ideas? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim205GTI 3 Posted August 5, 2008 Fuse blown? I'm sure the rev counter uses a fuse in ther glove box? Would go and have a look but it's chucking it down!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M@tt 77 Posted August 5, 2008 according to the haynes manual wiring diagrams, wire 112 (rev counter) comes straight from the coil and to the instrument cluster direct and not via the fuseboard. But don't take that as gospel! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted August 5, 2008 The tacho is fused, its one of the ones in the glovey fusebox. according to the haynes manual wiring diagrams, wire 112 (rev counter) comes straight from the coil and to the instrument cluster direct and not via the fuseboard. But don't take that as gospel! Thats the signal to the tacho, its the power supply that is fused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para 82 2 Cars Posted August 6, 2008 Anyone who will fixed my rev counter I will buy unlimited supply of vodka. I have visit 3 garages, change whole clocks and nobody knows what is going on... :D Maybe it's just living in Ireland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tri_longer 25 Posted August 6, 2008 Mine kept blowing fuses and in the end I disconected the feed from the reverse switch on the gearbox and it has been fine ever since. Admittedly I have no reverse light but I'm not that conderned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M@tt 77 Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) oh right well in that case the instrument cluster has 2 positive feeds to it by wire number 32 which comes out of the fuseboard at connector K pin 8 and is protected by fuse 2 and by wire number 32a/b which comes out of the fuseboard at connector D pin 3 and is protected by fuse 1 Edited August 6, 2008 by M@tt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted August 8, 2008 Rev counter is usually through fuse #1 along with various other dash lights. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim.Badger 15 Posted October 6, 2008 Is there meant to be a diode or fuse on wire 32a/b? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted October 7, 2008 Is there meant to be a diode or fuse on wire 32a/b? No, at least none that I've ever found when stripping various 205 GTi's. Wire 32a branches off from the same pin on the underdash brown multiplugs as the coil feed wire 2A. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
