Speedo not working
Hi Guys,
My greengauges speedo is not working. It lights up with the lights and the LCD display is on with and without ignition. I am using a small sensor with
two magnets on the prop. Think the problem is there. How can I check the sensor is working?
Cheers,
Pat....

Hi Pat
Is it the small reed switch type? If so you can test the speedo by connecting a switch instead of the sensor and flicking it on and off repeatedly.
you can also test the sensor by fitting a lamp or meter between the switch wire and the chassis and spinning the prop, the lamp should flash

Think it's a reed switch. Will try a switch as this will eliminate the speedo. Can't spin the prop though as the engine and g/box are all
fitted and tunnel top on.
