ShawnW Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I have the 83 Factory Turbo Supplement and 83 FSM as well as the 84 full factory manual and besides a half page indicating what pins are different for Turbo models theres really not a whole lot to help me convert a failed digital to a analog cluster setup. Has anybody ever done the swap successfully? Ill also point out: When the digi dash fails it emits a very loud screeching noise from the dashboard. Removing the Turn/4wd AT fuse makes the noise shut off but of course you lose the turn signals and I believe you lose the power windows. In a pinch in decent weather you can keep your sanity and just use hand signals to get home. As I work thru the pinouts I will note them as best I can for future. Ill also scan the pages from the FSM with the Analog pinouts that seem to be there but incomplete/wrong at times. Any help is appreciated! Gauges/indicatiors On digital: Oil Light Temp in bars Digital Speedometer Turbo spool light Charge Light AT OIL temp light Digital Tachometer Gauges/indicators on analog Oil light-SAME shouldnt be hard Temp gauge Speedo-direct plug and play (DONE) Turbo meter Volt Meter AT/Oil temp light-Same shouldnt be hard Analog Tach-signal wire from coil, easy.

GeneralDisorder Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Shouldn't the only differences be the 4WD and Turbo indicators between the Turbo and Non-Turbo Digi's? I'll see if I can find my notes on this. I put an 80 cluster in mine.... it's probably got slight differences. A lot of it should be the same tho. I had the biggest problems with the door ajar/dome light setup. All my ajar lights work, but the dome light does not come on when you open the rear drivers door . I called it good enough and quit screwing with it. I'll help with what I can..... GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I had problems with differences in some circuits not having diodes in them on the 80 cluster, but the digital did. I had to add the needed diodes into the circuit before it entered the cluster. But this may not be needed on an 83/84 cluster. Just be aware of differences like that, and look for them on the schematics. Took me weeks to figure that out..... GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
