Guys I apologize ahead of time and hope I don't get lit up for this. I am looking to buy an SC400 instrument cluster. I know the cluster is not compatible with my SC300, but are the motors and needles the same?
Can't find this info at all
Or should I just send the thing in to have it rebuilt?

Thanks

 

Depends on year.

 

Mine is 92, the 400 is a 94. I was hoping you would respond...
What do ya think

 

I had quotes to rebuild my cluster for 250+shipping and $500(he may have said 500-800 but i thought he was joking, local ofc). I am picking one up from the local junkyard in working condition for $100. (97 sc300)
As for compatibility I am a useless newbie, sorry

 

97+ cluster will only work with a 97+. There are different plugs on the back. Of course you can hack and hardwire, but ain't nobody got time for dat.

Any 92-96 cluster is compatible. There are differences within the needles and ODO/time, but they will be functional. I've noticed that my outside temp doesn't work when using an older 92-94 cluster on a 95 though.

 

thanks man
I bought one from a junk yard, it didnt work. glad they let me return it.
pain....

 

yeah so it looks like all other junk yards want me to pay for the cluster before checking it with no money back.
Screw that.
Plan B, rebuild. guess I'll look around here for that
