Instrument Cluster Question - Aftermarket Digital Dash
Okay. I just purchased an aftermarket digital dash. It says it was made by 2001 Technologies. The guy I bought it from said it came out of his 86 (or 87) firebird and it was working when he pulled it. Now, I got the tachometer, Speedometer, and voltage working right. But my fuel, Oil and temperature didn't work. It could be that I didn't hook up something right and I'm going over everything on the digital cluster.
I was wondering if anybody had a diagram of where the instrument panel hooks up into the two connectors and descriptions of what each pin is (speedo, tach, fuel level, oil, temp, etc.). Also, would there be a difference in voltages between 1986 and 1991 connectors?
Just out of curiosity, did you happen to also pick up the temp and oil pressure senders fom this guy. My digital dash (Dakota Digital) came with those senders. Those gauges won't work properly without the proper senders, if they work at all. My fuel gauge was easily calibrated by inputting the stock sender's resistance value (0-90 ohm) into the cpu of the instrument panel.
What's weird, is that this thing seems like it was made for the Firebird/Trans Am. It's cut out accordingly and the wiring hooks into the current cluster housing (of course you have to remove your old gauges). The instructions are hand made, but that's all I got. So I don't think it requires the senders you stated.
I could be wrong, but by your picture, it looks kike you have an instrument panel someone made from a universal build-to-fit kit by Nordskog, which comes with senders.
