update: so I figured the tach signal is coming from the ECU. Searched the forum and couldn't find ECU wire diagram...
update: got it working except tach signal wire.. so unit is registering rpm but need tach signal(miles/h). any thoughts?


Recently purchased Defi zd csp and need help with wiring.

+Defi control unit

2. Orange: IGN(Ignition: to 12v wire while ignition is on)
3. Black: GND(ground)
4. White: +ILM(Illumination: to 12v wire small light is on)

+Defi ZD unit
5. Green wire: for Speed signal (rpm)

Thanks guys!

 

Don't you have that backwards? Speed is miles/h and tachometer is rpm.

The installation instructions for the FES Shift Light describes both wires. Download the Users Manual on this page: http://www.fes-auto.com/products_detail.php?productid=6

 

rkw, you are Awesome! Exactly what I am looking for!
For some reason Defi Manual reads Speed signal as RPM. Not sure why.
I wonder if this wire extends to somewhere near the steering column..
I will post some pics when complete.

Thanks!
