[cosman]

thanks

Fuse?

[cosman]

It some times work though

Got to be bad connection, check behind the gauges themselves first - banana pod is only 3 screws and then 2 more to hold the cluster in.

Mine didn’t work due to a dry solder joint in the fuse box

[cosman]

Ok thanks I’ll have a look

[cosman]

I’ve just tried another pod in and it works so must be further back does anyone have a wiring diagram of it so I can work back thanks

[VADreamer]

I'm a little confused. Between which points do you need the wiring diagram to show?

[jsa]

Cosman, I am not following your logic. You say another pod works?

If so that means the car wiring is fine and your gauge is faulty.

[cosman]

Sorry I have tried the pod that doesn’t work in my car in another escort and the pod works so it must to something in my car from the pod back and was hoping that if I get a wiring diagram I will see where to start to look

Fuse 2 (allegedly), goes to the contact of relay K104 on the fuse box. A red wire goes from the fuse box via a conector to the voltmeter.

There is a ground wire from the voltmeter to ground.

Fuse 19 (allegedly), powers the coil of relay K104 on the fuse box.

There is a ground from the relay coil leaving the fuse box going to ground.

id check relay if you havent done already as thats the easiest start,its R4 yellow lets hope its not the fusebox on the way out then youve got the wiring info off john if its not something simple

[cosman]

ok thanks ill try that next what if its the fusebox is that the end of it or can they be repaid

[jsa]

Fusebox is repairable to an extent. Just depends on what is wrong with it.
