U did this for installation of the tachometer ?
If so i have a pdf of swift service/workshop manual . Ritz manual may be similar.
I read the manual but was not able to figure out much. A helpful person in some other forum informed me that the wiring harness for swift lxi and vxi is different,after understanding the manual.
Still the method applied for installing tacho can be applied in the ritz too since connection is taken from the speedo wire, only thing isnoone has tried it yet.
One more thing it is difficult to interpret the service manual so if you have done this for the sole purpose of installing tacho, i am not sure how useful will it be.

First of all understand Swift and Ritz have same K12 engine but the harness is different for every car and because Ritz carries pod type tacho meter and it separate unit but swift carries the full set of speedo & tacho,time, odu, trip, temp,alarm indication,fuel gauge all in single console in ZXI variant so both are not same in wiring harness.

I think pod can be installed in ritz as we need to find the only thing is where the tacho signal cable comes from ECM to Speedo but no one tried till now. I down know how to remove the speedo console else will find solution for this.

Another think factory fitted fog lamp with on/off switch in dash near head lamp adjuster was done by SA last week.May be this also possible i think. [confused]

Nothing they told about cost but i think it will be around 300 to 500........[:)]

As i read in another forums it was cheap...
When I inquired about old Zen manual, it was around 800 back in 2005 time. If it''s cheaper than 500, I am desperate in getting workshop manual for Estilo [evil]

ok you are right about this.
But the thing is it is difficult to understand the service manual ( for me atleast )
i can PM you the link to the swift's service manual if you want , see if you can understand anything about the connections. This will give you an idea whether you will be able to do the same when you recieve the ritz's manual.

I got your mail and i traced for the circuit in index 9A -59 to 63 is for the main console unit harness the cable color's are mentioned for the input but ECM output and signal details are hidden and no info about it so its total 5 sigal cable comes in to main console for External temp,speedo,Tacho,Fuel,radiator temperature and 3 from TCM to micro controller for lamp alert and other diagrams indications like ABS,Brake,Oil,PS,Batt etc.....

so we need the ECM pin diagram to identify the correct tacho signal....this thing is with swift....

As i guess we have a clear idea about Ritz harness diff as this is pod type tacho gets separate wire from the Speedo console as the controller will be present in speedo unit so i think it can be identified if we get a workshop manual

Or[roll]

If anyone has ritz VXI model can post under dash images where the pod cable connected we can easily identify the connector...........[;)]
