rev counter/speedo

[AndyG]

i had i go at this with the electrionic speedo
got it all working but the rev counter works wrong
it reads 7000 rpm
when it should reads 700 rpm
this was with the later alternator

A diesel rev counter only goes up to 6000rpm Could this be your problem

i have a set of clocks from a petrol mondeo with cable drive and a diesel one which is electronic
i have swaped both rev counters in the housing both bahaved the same
the d one went round the clock cause it stops at 6000
the p one reads 7000
both work with the engine speed!!

Hi Oxtonyxo,
what type of alternator do you have (does it have the 3 terminals) and what year is your van
