Alright, pressing forward with the cluster swap.


I went ahead and labeled the **** out of the plugs, for my own sanity.

It seems pretty straight forward. On the small white plug, there are 13 wires. 3 of the wires going from the wiper arm will connect with the small white plug, the 4th wire is ground.


I have an aftermarket radio so I do not believe I need the radio/telephone clock and data, or the enable wire. Can those simply be removed from the plug or will I get some sort of error on the cluster?


I then need to find the signals for the fuel consumption, coolant level sensor, and outside air temperature.


Fuel consumption signal: Located in the ECU harness?

Coolant level sensor: ?

Outside air temp: One of the wires going to the small black connector in my current cluster.


That leaves the selector level display, rear lights/headlight low beams, and brake lights pins. No idea on those either.


I apologize for spamming my own thread...each time I think I'm done for the night I find something else to do.


I popped my cluster out to look at the 3rd connector, its a black 10 pin connection.

The back of my current cluster

I hooked up the new cluster and it looks great! LCD screen doesn't appear to have any lines, gauges work, has 94,212 miles on it currently.

It is missing the bulbs for the ABS, airbag, and whatever the 3rd warning light is. :P
