How do you fit..

How do you fit obd2 dash clocks in a obd1 car? Is there any guides?

I have 150mph clocks and wish to fit 160mph ones.

Thanks.

You need to splice the speed sensor into the abs wire or something.

That's all I know.

You only have to splice into the abs if your swopping from an early gearbox to a later one. The speedo should adjust itself as they both obd1 & 2's will use the same type of sensor & voltages

[Saaamon]

Ok so just plug it in and it should just then?

[p fandango]

I went the other way & went for an older cluster, I've no idea if the plugs or wiring are the same for the obd1 & 2. But you shouldn't need to touch the sensor end of the wiring

Ok thanks I'll try it tomorrow and report back.

Clocks are in, everything works apart from the speedo, double checked all the connections and still not working. Turn the key to position 2 and the amongst the other lights the abs and tracs lights come on, start the car and the tracs goes out then the abs goes out when you start driving, once the abs light goes out the tracs light comes back on.

Any ideas? Does it sound like the speed sensor needs wiring to an abs sensor? Or a fault somewhere else?

LOL could have told you that if id have seen this post yesturday

[Saaamon]

Andy did tell me you were the one to ask. Is it straight forward enough to do? Does the abs wire run near to the speed sensor wire?

[merc85]

Yes you just splice the wires, cant belive this was 2012 lol

yes as gav says splice the wires in the gearbox plug is the same as the abs one,dont tape it all up til tested wire it the wrong way it wont work so wires need switched also dont switch abs wires as it kept throwing the abs light in mine

[Saaamon]

Ok thanks, what gauge wire should i be using? Very much a novice with electrics but trying to learn.

[martybelfastt5]

you will need a coulple meters of auto wire i got mine at local motor factor not sure of size gauge ect just knew what i was after

17amp wire should be fine, maybe less would do it, but 17amp will work as well... fiver a roll from halfords, tops
