Ive been doing a Baleno swap in my Sierra
I have fitted the tacho to the sierra cluster but Im trying ti figur out what wire is what on the back of the tacho I know there is a signal, +, - and anyone show me in the pic below?

[CairnsZook]

I can't remember which is which. But I think I worked it out by which colour wire comes off each contact.

Obviously not the colour of the wires you have put on... Trace them to the plug, then from the wiring diagram find out which colour is for each signal.

I did my last one via trial and error

Crap I had my dash apart today too. If I get time during the week I will have a look

That would be awsome

[shark]

Okay mate now without taking my dash apart to double check I still had the drawing on my work bench. Looking from the back

Top is earth
Right is power
Left is signal

No responsibility is taken although initially I had the power and earth swapped around and it didn't do any damage

[jimbo_jones]

Thanks mate your a big help

[BlueSuzy]

Only 6 combinations to test anyway

[shark]

Yeah it wasn't difficult. I just winged it:)

[kenzook]

so was this right? im doing now and spent too frigging long going back n forth looking caus i think sharks is wrong. looking directly at the back of the baleno cluster doesn't match or im fucking confused

jimbo what did u hook up n where?

i think i over complicate things/look into things too much and then i cant make a call, i cant just wing it.

[kenzook]

i used the colored wires for easy identification, the brown signal wire lands on the no 3 spot in pic, but that is not shark said hes got pwr to the right which is number 3.
and the other 2 are black with white stripe and black with orange stripe.

[Scrawny]

I think he meant right was #2, which would make sense. Looking at the back of the Baleno cluster it looks like he's right

#1- earth
#2- power
#3- signal

[kenzook]

ok cool. that looks like it works. #2 is a black with white stripe wire (on baleno diagram) that goes to ignition so yeah thats pwr.

loks like i ASSUMED shark rotated it so it had a top,left and right

cool thanks scrawn

[Scrawny]

How are you mounting the tacho?

[kenzook]

just screwed to the sj80 face plate and clear mount to hold it in place but then just have to run the wires like above
