speedo and rev counter not working
as the title says my speedo and rev counter are not working i fitted my kmh-mph adapter today and it hasnt worked since?
im positive that its on the back of the clocks properly and that the speedo cable is connected correctly too is there anything else it could be?

sounds like you may have piulled a connector off the back while messing about behind the clocks
theres connectors on either side/edge of the 'clock' unit and a little blue one behind yer temp gauge (more or less)
dont think you'll really be able to get at them without removing the clocks complete - but that aint difficult (I did it yesterday to change a kph dial to a mph dial) took maybe 5-10 mins to remove and same to replace
.....and in the end I didnt change the dial as the speeo needle wouldnt come off and the new dial (from ebay) was black instead of grey and was crap, basically)

Rev counter is not part of the speedo converter, that works purely on the MPH gauge.
As said you've probably disturbed a connector plug (electrical) whilst fitting the converter.
