Mondeo Dash ...again.

[The General]

is there any thing you can add to make the rev counter read right mine reads 4800 rpm on tick over?is there a diode or some thing?

Did you manage to find a cure for this? I've just fitted a set of clocks and the same thing happens

[bez]

ye today i fitted the proper transit tacho (not full clocks)to my mondeo clocks works mint and its on a late plug type alt.

[The General]

I best keep looking for a proper set then

[the.little.fatboy]

when you say you fitted the the transit tacho do you mean the speedo thing thats in the transit already because i did that with the fuel guage to make it read right but when i wired the rev counter up and started up it was revving at 5000rpm then when i turned it off it was sitting at 3000rpm take the wire off turn key on and off it then drops down 2 the niddle i need help this annoying think the mondeo 1s came out a 2000 x reg and my truck is a 1999 t reg. here is some numbers if any 1 can make use of them the transit 1s are pressac 43-1449-b p1818c 8240100 the mondeo 1s are pressac 43-1446-b hope that makes since thanks jim also just iv just found this http://www.autotekelectronics.com/newau ...

mine only has one plug with 2 wires in it plus the big live one could i put new clocks in ? ?

Right I've just got hold of some mondeo clocks and did a quick trial fit with them today. Get nothing from the rev counter except when I start it up it shoots all the way round to 6k but then just falls down to the bottom of the dial. The fuel guage is miles out, with my tranny dial I've got 1/4 of a tank with the mondy ones it says I have 3/4 of a tank. I've got the electronic speedo, my alternator has one big cable and then a plug with 2 thinner cables going in the side of it. Both plugs that plug into the clocks have a full compliment of wires going into them.

Anyone know what's going on with my clocks? What do I need to get them working?

And yes I have read all of this thread but now I'm just confused!

[dirtydog]

on MarkM's altenator what are these 2 wires anyone know could one be use for the rev counter



they do come out of the alt dont they

in fact my alternaotr is the same as this one

Dirtydog your van is petrol isn't it? you need to take your rev counter feed off the coil pack not the alternator, should be a Green wire

HEY ALL just fitted my new clocks from Jim Archer (NICE ONE,JIM!). after much deliberating and getting to page 11 i finished my cuppa(*cap'n!) and set about running wire. i used a piece of twin flex i had leftover as i thought for future use theres already a wire i can use! i got the same alternator as MarkM (top avatar m8) so i used the grey black(i think) its the bottom of the two wires on side in quick release plug.ran it up to dash, took black plastic plug cover off and stuck wire through gap shaping it to touch both sides of block in clocks.
BINGO now have REV counter, speedo, temp and fuel and all lights up as should.

nb i found this vss YELLOW PLUG up by steering column shaft by bulkhead. 12v with engine running on right pin (as you look at it)

didn't try connecting to rev counter, but this MAY be a use-able one...someone try it lol and tell us if van blows up OR correct me.. i only mentioned this as was referenced in previous pages.... ANYONE??


hope the piccies help id clocks ....


old clocks

Might as well add my results to this long thread. An provide answers to some questions I have seen.

I have just fitted a cable drive instrument pack from a 97 TD mondeo to my cable drive 97 mk5 and am very happy with the results. I have taken the voltage regulator from the mk5 instrument pack and used it on the mondeo one (just needed to break the contacts on the mondeo pcb, and push the regulator into the slot).

my mk5 is a custom and allready had the extra alternator wire , so was just plug and play.

Rev counter works fine

Speedo works fine

Temp Guage works fine

Fuel guage appears to be ok and does not move about whilst driving

Battery, Oil pressure, ABS,Airbag, Main beam and Indicator sensor lights work fine and are the correct symbols

Water in fuel sensor light works and simply swaping the bottom left 4 symbol card from the mk5 gives you the correct symbol.

The fog light sensor light comes on when the fog lights are off and goes off when they are switched on
(have just removed the bulb at present as the light on the fog light switch lights up when they are on anyway)
The trailor indicators sensor light activates an orange clock type symbol on the Mondeo clocks and initial only gets power before the engine is started, but by altering the pcb (cut one track and solder a new one from the main beam ground ) this now works as it should. I can live with the incorrect symbol for this as I know what it means.

To get the correct mileage reading I just swaped the complete number barrels over as they are exactly the same size.

I can also confirm that you do not need to remove the steering wheel , just remove the upper and lower cowlings and undo the two stalks and let them hang down whilst gently flexing the instrument panel surround past the steering wheel.


Shady

has anybody figured out why the fog light bulb comes on mine was doing it till i put the oridginal clocks back in
i have done the mondy clock conversion a few times now and this one is the first one i have problems with
