Re: Digital guage swap

Its a big expensive hassle. I was going to buy a GTA with a broken digital cluster and just put in the regular cluster. You have to swap out the cluster, hook up manual AC controls (messed with those before), move the dash and everything to reroute some things, and rewire, and solder some other things. I eventually just passed because it was way more involved and expensive and parts aren't readily available.

Re: Digital guage swap

You have to get all the body wireing,from headlight to taillight-digital cluster-push button ac/heater controll and motors for the ac/heater box.Or if you dont care about the systems monitor just splice into the analog wireing(the analog and digital clusters use the same senders)but youll still need the two digital cluster connections as they are differant.Either way its a bit envolved but it has already been done many times both ways.Check out other old posts on here.
