Reversed speedo wires?

Reversed speedo wires?

Post by MisterH » Mon Apr 22, 2019 5:17 pm

Does anybody know why the wire on the speedo system seems to switch over on each side of plug? I was trying Brinkie's advice on the speedo fix, but stopped short of soldering directly due to this confusion, can anybody help?
