If you mean a whole new rev counter there are no wires. There are 2 electronic sections in the dash that the rev counter cups into. But if your talking about aftermarket dials just place them over the old dials and hook them up to the cigarette lighter wires.

I presume you took out the rev counter to see if it was a faulty connection and seem there are no wires!

Sounds like you're miles out stewy :-)

Try getting the original one working op. Have you made any attempt to?
