Yet another tach question
Does any one have a wiring diagram for a 300 cd or 300d. I have an 84 CD and the cluster was gone when I got it. Now Im trying to get the tach to work and got one out of another car. mine has the 3 wire plug and the replacement I got has 2. So I got another one with the 3 wire plug but it only has 2 wires in it. My cars plug has 3 wires in the plug, one red/black, one white and one brown/hwite. Anybody have any clue??? Ive done the search and everyone asks for a diagram but I cant find one.

The tach with the three wires, male prongs? On the back of the tach, the middle prong is a ground that is plated through to the metal bracket. Hope this helps some, anyway.

the three prong tach is out of an 84/85 D, (84 california, I believe) does that help any?

On the two wire tach one is power (red/black wire to fuse #12) and the other get the signal from the tach amp (green/black).
See post #2 in this link: Adding a tach to a 300TD I used this info to install a tach from an 83 300D in my 84 euro wagon that has an rpm sensor but no tach or tach amp. |

Don't know if you can accomplish. Different set ups. With the two pronger, you'll need an amp. And maybe different harness. Good luck.
