Re: new dash installed

guitargod, I know its on,
o2 sensor not connected
o2 sensor to rich
and the painful code 43. no knock from knocksensor.



at luni.
it does require some trimming of the original panel. and reinstalling your old panel will never look the same again. so i advice going to a scrapyard and taking out a same gaugecluster as you have of your own.
what you need to do is trim the parts where your lights shine trough the board. like your indicator lichts and highbeams. ( the yellow part where your gauges sit in ) . this way the printboard sits deeper inside the cluster. else you cant get the complete cluster closed.
for beautyfication you also can trim a bit of the black faceplat ( the 1 just behind the glas )
and last thing you need to do is cut off the service engine lights and indicator lichts from your original meters. since these are attached to your orignal meters.
last part of the install is attaching the wires to
1) or the panel
2) the wires behind the dash.

both can be a pain in the ***.
