Andy 3i Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Has anyone wired an Escort Cosworth clock that goes in the coin pocket into their mk5? How do you get it to wire up as the connectors are different? Also, anyone got the temperature to work too?All help appreciatedThanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_aaron Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'd take that as a no... lol is the temp internal or external? surely a quick look around the net/haynes should tell you what wires are what?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboyclub Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 andy might be worth talking to matt as hes looked into it i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Haynes doesn't cover RS or cosworth Its the ambient air temperature, but not sure how to wire it in.Does matt still come on here? I haven't seen him. Could you ask him for me?My issue is that i have 5 wires on the standard clock, but the cosworth one has 8. I'm guessing that the other ones are for temperature and ice warning lights, but i havent got a connector. I would hard wire it, but dont know which wires go where and dont really want to blow it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orionzetec Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Do you have a picture of the rear of the clock?The clock only needs 3 wires to wrk, the other 2 are alarm related i believe. The ford external thermomter thing uses two wires. Do you have that?As long as your careful you shouldnt blow it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I did spend some time looking through the gazillion wiring diagrams but couldn't find jack on the clock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well the clock has a long 8 pin connector which i dont have. It's still attached to a cossie somewhere. I haven't got a pic as its at work. I'm just wondering why it needs 8 wires? If i can connect up the normal 5 and it'll work then i'll be happy.BBC - If you could that'd be good.Stu - Thanks for looking I guess it can be done?

Orionzetec Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Theres no doubt it CAN be done, just takes a little bit of working out. If you can get a picture i might be able to help more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orionzetec Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Id take the white casing off and put your std clock connector on it carefully. Bend the other two gently out of the way. These two will be for the temp sender.Make sure the connector is the right way round when doing it this way. i.e make sure the male plugs little notch is facing the outside of the board. If that made sense. That will properly work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
