rev counter 'green wire'??

[JP360]

hi all,
before asking the question 'how to wire a rev counter' i took a look in the old threads and saw 'green wire of coil' mentioned often. is the coil the thing that feeds the dizzy? do i attach the wire to this coil?

Cheers JP360

im still struggling to get mine to work, its like a minefield i swear. apparently you have to run a wire from the top right spade on the coil, to the green wire in the back of the clock. now sure on a corsa but they must be similar

ive seen this which helps me with the location on the dials but i dont know where to pick up from

Pick up from the coil. Should be a spare spade coming off it, will be that one. :thumb:

And there might not be a green wire on the dials, if not you'll have to fit one as per the guide in articles.

Edit, cant spot the guide in articles :confused:

And says run it from the ecu on a corsa ( going by the link you posted)

the coil being the thing that has a wire going to the dizzy? :tard:

the coil is the thing connected to the dizzy.

the e16se loom has a green rev counter wire going to the (original) block connector. this is where you should be connecting to.

i know im asking alot but could you describe where this would be or put a picture up with it highlighted? :d

in laymans terms, the wires that come from the engine & go towards the back left hand side of the engine bay & connect to the wires that come from inside the car... where they are joined, there will be a green one, connect this wire to the rev counter terminal.
