Hello,

I don't know what type it is, but in general green is often a signal wire and my guess is that the black would be earth and the remaining (yellow/brown?) wire is +12v - that's just a guess though! Signal comes from the coil on a petrol or the W pin on the alternator for a diesel. There should probably be some sort of calibration mechanism too, possibly a small socket which you would turn using a very small screwdriver....

Hope you get it working

Ewen
