There are a few wires that don't get used. upshift, anti theft light.. I am thinking there was another as well.

Is the brown wire part of the factory cluster or the Intellitronix cluster? Some of the factory wires don't attach to anything. All of the Intellitronix wires should attach to something.

I've got an ls6 in mine so I just did straight connection to all my ls senders and PCM gauge wires. Everything works I just have to cal the speedo. The brown wire is killing me lol

And, again, assuming the wiring is the same as the Firebird panel, the brown wire goes to the high beam indicator light to turn on the high beam indicator on the panel. Not sure which wire that is in your dash harness though.

Doubt the water temp will be accurate with the LS senders. At least the Firebird panel I'm using doesn't work with the factory TPI sender so there isn't any reason to think it will work with the LS sender. I put the water temp sender in the back of the passenger head which will be a true pain to reach if the motor is already in the car. Gas gauge might be another issue if you used a 4th gen tank on your swap since the sender puts out a different signal. That one doesn't appear to be programmable either so you'll need a 3rd gen sender signal for it. Oil pressure and voltage shouldn't be a problem though. And, again, assuming the wiring is the same as the Firebird panel, the brown wire goes to the high beam indicator light to turn on the high beam indicator on the panel.

Re: 90-92 Intellitronix Digi Dash Prototype In My Hands!
The Aluminum Gauge Bezel is custom cut from a store on e-bay years ago... The smoked lens cover comes with the Nordskog Performance Digital Gauge Kit... I have had these gauges installed for over 6 years, maybe even 7 by now and I have NEVER had a single issue with ANYTHING... Remember though, my gauges were made Pre-Buyout - which could make all the difference - I prefer mine anyway due to Nordskog sticking with the same gauge layout that GM had straight out of the factory. No idea why intellitronix would screw with that... I hate the new look

Lesson learned over the weekend. When swapping to a LS motor with the Intellitronix dash, if you spliced power and ground to existing wires in the dash harness be prepared to redo those wires with dedicated power and ground as the harness chopping required for the motor swap does bad things to the ground connections. Especially if your car started life as a factory digital dash car.

Well my odometer decided to reset again today for the third time. This time i was around 500 miles. Started it up in the morning, and i have 0 miles again, and my speedo says I'm going 255 at 40. Recalibrated again, and its fine... About to pick up a converter box and a 145mph speedo...

Mine did the same thing twice. The first time was around 530 miles the second at 5 miles and the speedo reads 0 no matter how fast you go. not sure why it's doing it but if it continues to be a problem I'm going a different route. The gauges look sick but I can't keep having them reset on their own especially because it's my wifes car and she doesn't know how to recal them.

Re: 90-92 Intellitronix Digi Dash Prototype In My Hands!
WOW! I have to admit, when I first heard of the instrument panel years ago I was extremely thrilled and even Photoshopped the gauges in the car to see what would look better (which color).. I was opting for Blue to match the car (Even tho I heard BLUE was the weakest in brightness).
However I held off once I heard it was NOT PLUG AND PLAY like they originally advertised.
I am GLAD I held off because they sure seem like one heck of a problem getting them to work and stay working... More trouble that there're worth (including pun intended because they are NOT CHEAP).

Re: 90-92 Intellitronix Digi Dash Prototype In My Hands!
Yea it sucks.. I bought mine refurb for 190.00 so at least i didn't pay the 400.00+ they go for new. No4Play, what connection did you use for power and ground? I grounded mine on the chassis next to the fuse box, and use the power source for the stock cluster. Dont know if changing power sources would do anything, as well as grounding it to the block...

I took the cluster out today to hook up my check engine light. I moved the ground wire to a factory ground connection under the dash, and gave it a 12 volt switched power source from the fuse box, not the original cluster power source. Unfortunately still does the same thing. The mileage hasn't reset yet, but the calibration doesn't save. Once the car is turned off it calibrates to 374 every time, and the speedo is ridiculously high.

Lifetime as far as LIFETIME in regards to the cars lifetime, or YOUR LIFE TIME PERIOD? Lifetime to cars usually is 10 years and not 20+ years like with my car... Everything wears out with age so how can you specify a warranty FOREVER and what classifieds as under warranty? Obviously a MANUFACTURING defect.. But pretty hard to convince a defect after say 10 years on an electronic instrument panel. ;-)

Re: 90-92 Intellitronix Digi Dash Prototype In My Hands!
After almost 8 years of them being in my car, I haven't had one single issue with them what so ever... My speedo has been recalibrated around 3 times for switching out rear gears and 2 different sets of wheels... Dead batteries have never caused an issue, mileage and measurements are all on point... Considering these are original from Nordskog, the company that intellitronix bought out, I'm not surprised the redesigned products are having an issue. There's that classic saying - don't fix whats not broken - seems to perfectly fit in this case... Oh and the Blue are EXTREMELY bright... haha
Here's a cell pic shortly after the install

Re: 90-92 Intellitronix Digi Dash Prototype In My Hands!
I got so pissed off with this cluster i pulled it out and I'm running the stock cluster with no speedometer for now. Cable x box is like 300 bucks, which i really don't want to spend. I ordered the GPS sender from summit for the intellitronix cluster as a last resort, which i really hope works. Mileage got glitched at 45380 before i pulled it out, just was flickering on that number. Unplugging the vss wire and the battery didn't change anything either. Really want this sender to work. Its suppose to be coming tomorrow, so wish me luck!

Yea i dont understand it. I read on a jeep forum some other guy was having the same issue with his speedometer. It would reset calibration everytime the car turned off, and the mileage would gets stuck at 43,000. Intellitronix wouldnt reply to my warranty emails either.

Well the gps unit did nothing. It gets the signal from gps, but you still have to calibrate the cluster for it. So instead of the speed signal coming from the vss then being calibrated, it comes from the gps unit, then has to be calibrated. So intellitronix telling me to buy this was an absolute waste, being my main issue is the cluster no longer saves calibration😡

sorry you're having issues man - I guess quality control went down after intelli' bought nordskog performance... Still no issues with my Nordskog OG's.

Re: 90-92 Intellitronix Digi Dash Prototype In My Hands!
I had a speedometer issue on mine after 6000 miles. I emailed them and said it had a lifetime warranty, send it in. Got it back last week and installed it over the weekend. Drove it this morning first time and its reading severally low. Hope its just a calibration issue. Waiting to hear back to see if they did a reset or flashed any memory in it.

Re: 90-92 Intellitronix Digi Dash Prototype In My Hands!
This tech is kinda 80's isn't it? Why not make the entire dash an LCD going to a small computer that is hooked into the ALDL port? Then you could customize the display to show you what you want and where you want it?
I've always lusted to having something like Tuner Pro R/T on my dash haha!

Re: 90-92 Intellitronix Digi Dash Prototype In My Hands!
Several months ago I've bought Firebird Digital Panel for 82-90 Firebird and GPS speedometr sending unit
But I have a problem with it:
Than the car stands and I push the gas pedal and raise the engine rpm, after 3300-3600 my speedometr begins show crasy speed))) Plese notice - the car doesn't move, 3300-3600 rpm, speedometr is jumping from 0 to 200, 150, 160, 80, 100 mph...
Why does it happen?
Did anyone solved the problem withspeedo calibration?

IIRC, you are to tee into the vss wires pre computer. Then calibrate the cluster to your tire/axle combo.
I did mine differently because I have a newer style pcm(LS1 style). I used the same cluster wire and calibrated my pcm to match the default settings of the cluster.

If you have an electronic speedo from the factory just splice the existing speedo wire from the ecm to the cluster into the Intellitronix speedo wire and calibrate the speedo for 4000 ppm.

Re: 90-92 Intellitronix Digi Dash Prototype In My Hands!
Hello every1,
Just had a set of these digital gauges put in my 1984 Trans am.
They look sweet!!
I am getting the code 24 VSS error code.
I am also getting my odometer /trip display rapidly cycling from one to the other once I get to 30mph...
I read earlier about bypassing the vss and wiring into the wire that goes to the ECM....
Would the same apply to the '84 cars?
This has the cable from the trans, to the back of the analogue speedo, then the vss pickup goes to the yellow box that then plugs into the gauge harness.
Any info and help appreciated.
Michael.

Are you running a stock ecm? Because I thought they didn't have a vss to start with.
