• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Speedo wires - broken

I recently broke the wires from the speedo sensor, that curves around & follows the brake line, at the connector near the dash & I can't tell which wire is which as they are the same length & have been repaired before with heatshrink.
Does anybody know if the "polarity" of the sensor wires create any problems if it is connected incorrectly?:confused:
 
I had the same thing happen to mine. The speedo seems to work with the wires either way.

I am interested if someone knows anything that we don't....

Me too, fixed it and went on.
 
no polarity issues

the magnet and sensor is an open/closed switch really

with every rotation of the magnet to the sensor it is as though the two wires are being touched together- creating continuity for that moment, every pulse of continuity is delivered to the speedo generating "speed"

so if you sat there and touched the two wires together you could see how fast you could go- :lol:
