Greetings,
I bought a used Volvo tach and small clock to replace the stock large clock with tach and the small clock to go in one of the unused spots next to the speedometer. Can anyone walk through the procedure. One question I have is is all the wiring for the tach already there? It's a 1988 240 in perfect condition with 60,000 miles.
Thanks
After you remove the instrument cluster, remove the screws for the clock. The clock sits on a few pin connectors. Pry the clock free from the cluster. Install the Tach using the screws removed for the clock. The is a three spade connector on the back of the tach. Fish the cable from the new clock through the hole and to the area behind the tach. Locate the three rubber sliding wedges with a "T" shaped end view and slide them into the matching openings on the periphery of the auxilliary guage opening that you revealed when you first removed the dummy cover. Slide the new clock into position in the hole. Install the clock cable connector on the tach. Locate the red-white wire that was previously unused in the cable cluster that comes to the combined instrument and connect it to the single terminal on the tach.
Reconnect the rest of the wires to the combined instrument. Install the four screws securing the instrument cluster. Fit the new guage cover over the new clock and one of the old covers over the other opening. Make sure the metal bracket for the dimmer and rear fog light switch is under the mounting screws for for the cluster. Refit the left hand cover and switches.
