LS1 Cluster ind lights?
Hiya guys, i swapped a LS1 and ls1 gauge cluster into my 87 camaro.
Engine runs great, and im happy
But i have some ind light lit.
ABS Inop (i have no abs so no wonder)
AIR BAG (dont have this either)
BRAKE (i have those
)
Service vehicle
Thing is, my yearly inspection is comming up, i dont think theyll know the LS1 doesnt belong there, i really really hope they wont, but if they see an abs or airbag failure light lit in the dash ill fail inspection, and saying i swapped another engine in and dont even have abs would make matters 10 times worse.
So i need to turn of the abs and airbag ind, they seem to be operated through the serial data cable. Also i need the brake light to come on and of with the parking brake, now its always lit tried grounding A5, didnt make a diff, tried hooking it to the +12V, didnt make a diff, its just always lit![huh](https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/images/smilies/huh.gif)
I have HPTuners but i cant find anything about ind lights in it, is there a way to do this without opening the dash and just smashing them

Re: LS1 Cluster ind lights?
i had to take my cluster apart and de-solder all the LEDs off of it for the lights that wouldn't go off.

Fixed it today, took the cluster out, removed the ABS airbag and service vehicle LED's.
for the brake LED, i folllowed the circuit on the board to the LED resistor, after the resistor it continued through a metal wire, removed that and hooked my own wire there instead, that i hooked up to the parking brake switch, now everything works like a charm ^^

Re: LS1 Cluster ind lights?
Hey klubba I have the same problems but,I dont want to pull or break bulbs. I would like to find a better solution. I have searched and found almost nothing,I did see mention of a 45 ohm resistor to turn off the abs light,but no details as to how and where to install. I think the brake light is on because the abs light is on,if the abs light is turned off the brake light will function properly. No clue on the air bag light,but if the brake,abs,air bag lights are properly turned off the service vehicle light will go out,I think. So thats where I'm at any help would be great. Any pics of that cluster swap ?
