Thank you is it for these connectors just to check? I'd only need 1 male and 1 female, happy to pay postage for them

Yes, for the grey 14-way male / female instrument harness connectors (C1048 / C1040).

I can also supply them pre-crimped to whatever length of cable you require.

In the plug (bulkhead side), pin 14 is the rev counter signal, usually WHITE/GREY.

It's one of the corner wires, if you have corner wires of WHITE/GREEN, GREY/BLACK, GREEN/BLUE and an empty corner then you're out of luck.


I thought I had the white / slate wire to pin 14 of the plug, as it turns out I don't ! I checked the black plug at the ECU and it appears pin 19 is also vacant - just a very small grey rubber plug (7 across on middle row, next to pink i think). I have a rev counter from Rimmers (installed, lights up and does a self test), that included the white/black wire for the ecu feed. Having Censored up loads of pins on other connectors, I would very much like to avoid doing at the ECU. Can someone explain the orientation that the pin needs to go in so it clicks in place nicely? I have no ABS / TC etc by the way. Many thanks.

Key off.

Remove black connector from ECU.

Remove the white plate on the front of the connector (should virtually fall off)

Remove blanking seal from pin 19.

Hold the connector with the clip on the top, then the wire terminal should be fitted with the crimp visible on top and pushed into place until it clicks.

Replace white plate.

Replace connector to ECU.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Fantastic Martin. Done and rev counter test working, just need to route cable back to dash properly.

Really appreciate the fast, knowledgable and accurate response to help me out. Brilliant. Thank you, Matt.
