Facelift instrument cluster
 
My facelift instrument cluster came today....and started looking at a guide to the pins on the instrument cluster.

Found it thanks to the interior repairs sticky....but i didnt realise that the plugs at the back of instrument cluster were 32 pin where as preface lift are 26 pin.

So gona need a few of those plastic connector....TPS will be my next stop I guess.

There is no connection for the oil level sensor in the pf...so gona have to work this one out ....ie fudge it....think i ll google this one and work it out from there.....

I ordered the necessary wiring from kufatec yesterday...hopefully by the time that arrives...i will have the new instrument cluster in....

I m so tempted to get the aluminium dash rings as well now....but I think i might be going off track with that one...so that mod will have to wait for now.

Do the dash rings at the same time, wack some kiwi magic show polish on the RNS E too. Then put the final editions back on. Will look good.

That install looks better resolved than the later cars like mine! With it trimmed up so close it looks less of an afterthought - well done :)

No real need.... The immobiliser is seperate in the PF cars - the engine will run with no cluster installed at all (try it for a giggle)

So, just marry up all the connections from pre to post face and it will basically work.

Done forget though the facelift cars have a menu button in the cup holder slots - You'll need to get one of those for completeness to control the cluster properly +++

rnse install
 
menu button in the cup holders...now thats a new one to me....but I ll look into it.

Well I ordered the connectors from tps today...should arrive tomorrow.

Fortunately the radio clock connector is the same on both clusters...so dont need that one.

I was comparing the wiring point between the clusters...and I have a couple of points I m not sure about....maybe some one could enlighten me.

1. Where do the earth connections go from the pf instrument cluster to the fl instrument cluster....I think its something to do with the canbus wiring but not sure

2. Where do the illumination wires connect on the fl cluster

Thanks for your help and comments guys really appreciate it.

Updating instrument cluster
 
Hi guys

I have put together an excel file which shows the pin connector diagram on the left for the pf and on the right for the fl.

In between I have typed in where i am going to take the pin connector from pf cluster on to the fl cluster.

There is a few I am stuck on and so would appreciate some help in finding out where to connect them. I have shaded the pins, which I am unsure of where to connect.

excel file
 
Didnt realise one cant actually upload excel files
Will have to work out another way to display the information.

Hey Ranj i know it's not the best but take a photo of the screen with excel open

Or press print screen and paste the file as an image :) (use mspaint if your on Windows)

graynada 9th November 2011 06:25 AM

Or save as csv and you may be able to upload that, if not change the extension to .txt and upload
