[Quantum Owners] Re: rev counter

[Jim Hearne]

Ok, could be a faulty rev counter then, measure the voltage between ground and the green wire with the engine running, there should be some voltage there, exactly what will depend on your meter. If your meter has a RPM range then you should be able to read the rpm directly. If you've continuity from the dash to the Edis module then the suppressor must be ok.

I will have to test from the speedo plug to the green on the edis to prove wether its on the wiring or internal on the edis, the manual also shows a suppressor in the circuit, don't know where that is, perhaps that is whats failed?

If there isn't a green wire on the actual Edis connector strip the loom back a few inchs, sometimes it's spliced into one of the 2 coil wires further up the loom.

I had the same problem on the oil light, but running a seperate wire relit the bulb, can't find any damage on the loom though, cheers Bill. Jim Hearne wrote: Ok, thats fairly easy. The rev counter signal goes from the revcounter to the -ve terminal on the ignition coil via a green wire, the only one in that area. It may go via a plug in filter mounted near the coil which is connected via a 2 pin bullet type connector, this may be missing. So the first thing to check is that wire, check it end to end with a meter set to continuity with the instrument cluster unplugged.
