analog vs. digital

[bmxruler4130]

i have a 91 240 with the digital speedo, but it doesnt work (nor does the odometer). i got an analog for free and wanted to switch them. but i found out that the connections are diffrent... is there any way to get the digital or anallog to work??? thanks

it will work but you'd have to cut the harness and splice it into the harness for the analog (assuming you have it).

i too have a 91 240sx se and i sent mine to the dealer to get the digital speedometer fixed...they charged me 749 dollors..it was the powerpack and the speedo sensor itself..you can fix it if u have the parts for no more then half of that...most of it was labor..the powerpack itself costs around 150 and hte sensor im not sure about...but i love the digital speedo..not to many cars from that year have them and especially no imports,,so i kept it

Don't pay that much... if you're good at soldering you can usually fix the problem. (which is almost always weak solder joints on the back of the cluster) There are a lot of speedometer repair shops on the web that won't even charge half of that, do a serch for one in your area, or get the lowest price if you don't mind being without one when you ship it. I think your car will still function normally if it is MT, not sure about automatic because the speedo signal goes from the dash to the ecu (if I remember correctly). In either case don't go 100 mph plus bacause I'm not sure if the fuel cut will work properly and you won't know how much of a speeding fine you'll get so don't go fast at all.

what is the subharness? just the harnes from the other car??? do the wire colors match up?
