Speedo Transducer V8
Discussion
Currently a V8S owner, previously a Wedge owner/contributor I wondered if anyone would have any experience concerning speedo transducers?
I've just completed a body-off chassis chassis repair. While we were lifting off the body the one wire we failed to disconnect, until too late, was the speedo. The connector pulled apart, ripping out the wiring. This has been repaired, but having put all back together now the speedo no longer works. All wiring feeds to speedo work but we are unable to get any sort of signal from the transducer. We have removed it and tried spinning it with a drill but there is absolutely nothing coming from it. I'm not the wiring expert on this, my buddy mechanic is, so may not be able to answer any queries on tracing the fault. We are at a bit of a loss as to why the transducer fails to provide any response to meter or LED - any thoughts anyone....please?
Many thanks Steve

Hi Wedg1e
It sounds like the same part. We managed to dremmel out the epoxy down to the contacts (one of the wires was broken, but we think it should still have worked as it was). Re-soldered the offending wire, and hot glued to provide support, but of course don't know if it works as we could get no feedback from testing. We tried the new connectors both ways round as a starting point. We've run out of ideas as what to test next - and i guess the 'dismantled' transducer has got to be top of the list now!
