Hj60 89 tachometer doesnt work

[Jens martelius]

Hi i was fixing some Cables to the starter solenoid and i had to open my electric harness after that my rpm gauge did not work. Were should i start looking and How Can i test if its the gauge itself
I trying to install a 24v to 12 v converter and i have read about People use cigarett lighter socket Cable. Can i connect my converter there and run the cigarett lighter socket as 12volt. For a Phone charger or is it Only working for 24volt. Any thread you guys know about regardin these subjects would be apriciated
Thank you Jens martelius

I’m not sure about the lighter, but maybe can help on the tach. If you were unplugging wires down by your starter you may have accidentally unplugged the tach. The male/female connecter resides on the top right side where the bellhousing joins the transmission. I’m not home but can take a picture of this when I get home this evening. Another option is to test for current at the clip behind the gauge.

I found the tach and i think i moved it a little and then i clean it with brake cleaner and after that it worked
Changed my old generator for a new same model but the banjo bolt did not fit in the new generator. I discovered my oil pressure droped so i go out and check. Dripping from vacuumpump. Had to call for a towtruck. Will need to find a bigger banjo bolt.

Lots of usb chargers are 24v compatible so no reason to rewire the cig lighter socket. No idea about your tach sorry.

 

[Jens martelius]

Its för the radio too but it will have to want.
The tach is working again Thank you.
They Think its only to replace the banjo bolt with a New one

 

[Jens martelius]

Wait

Hi Jens

Don't use a 24-12v converter . Buy a 24v radio from Kienzle , Continental or VDO . Excellent quality and very good looking . From around 90€ to about 220€ if you want one with hands free telefone and DAB . Much simpler than instaling a converter . Good Luck .

Thank you very much

You should already have a 24 to 12 volt converter in your truck, at least the ones in Finland have one if it's not ripped of. It's located behind drivers side panel in the trunk. It's used to run trailer lights wich usually are 12v.

Another location to look is the driver side (LHD) inner fender. On the Canadian models it’s tucked inside the fender. Maybe @georgebj60 Ken has a pic of his he can share.

Here are the pictures I have with me. I can get a better pic of the unit itself later today if you need it. Mine was in the LH front fender.
