Obviously this post isn't about Sunbeam or Jensen Cars, unless you have ins=
talled a Ford BW T5 transmission in your car with an electronic speedometer=
. My T5 is from a 1994-1998 Mustang V6 car. The speedometer sender has 2 wi=
res coming out and they are both white. My electronic speedometer has its o=
wn cable that plugs into the speedometer and the other end has a black and =
a white wire.=C2=A0
My question is, "Since the plug on the transmission sending unit has 2 whit=
e wires, does it matter how I connect the black and white wires from the ha=
rness? If it matters then how do I figure out which of the 2 white wires is=
 signal and which one is ground?
Sorry for being off topic, but it might relate to others who have converted=
 to a T5 transmission.=C2=A0
TIA,Dan Eiland=C2=A0

Dan,
I put in a T-5 and used a VDO electronic speedo.
I made my own sensor (optical interrupter with tabs on the driveshaft
bolts).

But.. look at the instructions that came with your speedo!
Probably it is protected so you just hook the two wires to the two wires..
MAYBE.
The sensor is probably a little motor(generator) that puts out a sinewave
with frequency depending on speed.
Low voltage so probably won't hurt the speedo.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.
