I have a stock 92 cluster that I am willing to trade pm me if you want

On Which Year Model harnesses do you have the conversion sorted out?
no scanner at all. what to do...

i have it for the 92-94. the 95-96 is basically the same. If you have a 95-96, im sure you can use the temp outside display option as the newer ones.

Take digital pictures and upload them?


I must say now that I have both sets of plugs in front of me this swap is NOT as simple as matching colors. If you attempt to match colors and hope for the best then you will burn components. FYI, I am labeling both sets of plugs to match their respective diagrams and then I'll proceed to solder the new plugs to their matching counterpart on the vehicle dash loom.

You could FedEx the diagrams to someone with a scanner... me for example... and I could upload them and send them back.

taking pics will not help anyone if the conversion has already been done. If one simply matches up colors, good luck. Each wire is diff. Only a few are the same from what I remember

I think he was talking about taking pictures of the wiring info.

If you have a high mega pixel camera, it'll do a nice enough job of reproducing your documents.

Yes, I agree... a lot more work to do here besides matching the colors of the wires.

I'm going to go through with Stay-Con connectors and merge the two harnesses and once it's all good... go back, remove and solder the junctions.

Hey guys, I'll be doing this upgrade as well by the time of Jan. I already have the 98 cluster and its connections. You also need a complete harness from a pre 97. Just incase you ruin the one you have.
