These pins are easier to locate.Peel back a bit if spiral wrap to find the only screened cable, (the screen and the two conductors should all be on the same row in the connector). Please use only a digital meter for this test. This firstly might be worth checking. Each conductor to the screen ..... that should show open circuit on each. Now put the meter probes on the two conductors, and you should get continuity through the sensor, however I do not know what reading you should get, but as long as you get a resistive reading rather than a short circuit, then I think it is safe to assume you are reading the sensor.If you do get around to this, please let me know what resistance you get for future reference.

Temp refitted clockset, and bound the loose connection together as I would rather drive the car up the road than roll about in the cold jacking etc, guess what.................feck all, which begs the question why does the mod exist at all?
Unless, and I suspect will be the outcome I have multiple faults. The only positive thing is as I was driving I banged on the top of the actual speedo part of the clocks ( I have done this before, but on the surround and got a slight quiver*) but managed with constant tapping to get about 5mph out of them .........any thoughts?
Where from here O wise one ( John C, Clee, anyone..?)
*from the needle not me ................. although you do forget how well a turbo goes with super cool dense winter air Brrrrmmmmm,whoooooooosh,brrrrrrrrmmmmmm...............
