Digital Dash to Analog
If I wanted to get rid of my GTA's digital dash and go analog, would I just need the cluster and bezel? Or do I need an analog harness?

Re: Digital Dash to Analog
You would need to get the analog connectors for the dash carrier and move all the wiring over to those connectors.

Re: Digital Dash to Analog
IMO: Easier to just unbolt the dash housing,..... remove the GTA DD dash harness, & install teh analog harness in it's place.
The Body/Taillight harness ( from about the rear of the drivers door back) might be different too. Well,...... I know it's different, but not sure if the analog version is plug and play. *MIGHT* need to splice a few wires if you swapped to the analog Dash harness.
P.S. I've got an analog dash harness from an 88 Formula.

Re: Digital Dash to Analog
You need to replace just about every harness on the car.

Re: Digital Dash to Analog
Gosh it's hard for me to understand why anyone would want to swap the digital dash for analog. I know it's a matter of taste, but to my eye, the GTA digital cluster is one of the best looking designs to come from the 1980s. It's visually stunning.
