Gauge cluster swap

[robbbby]

Alright, who has swapped gauge clusters before. I had a SOHC Canadian 240sx. I swapped in a SR and bought a DOHC Canadian gauge cluster. I plugged that cluster in and neither the speedo or tach worked. I read that you have to swap the actual tach out into your old cluster unless you get a 180sx cluster. Seeing as how I live in Canada and go by km/h I thought just getting a 180sx cluster would be a good idea. I bought on and low and behold neither the tach or speedo works on it. Has anyone actually put a 180sx cluster into a 240 that used to be a SOHC. I know my tachometer reading works since my EMS gives me an engine load reading.

Nobody here has added a cluster tach to an SR swapped 240 that used to previously be a SOHC?

Robbbby-Not exactly the same problem, but similar.I went from a DOHC to an SR, and we missed 4 wires up by the underhood fuse/relay box. Turns out we had plugged the SR harness into the KA harness, but 4 wires needed to be repinned. At work and don't have the car in front of me, but I seem to remember it was the tach wire, the VSS wires, and one other, think it was a white/red, green/yellow and I can't remember the others. It's something sort of easy to check though and might save you having to buy a new cluster right away =) Hope this helps!!

Ya I have already done that and checked all my connections over.

Does all your engine lights and etc. light up when the key turns to the on position? All 6 (I believe) wires hooked up by the ecu?

[robbbby]

Yes all harness wiring that you need to go from KA to SR is done. The white dash plug by the ecu is wired. Hell I chopped the connectors off and soldered the wires hoping that the connector was bad.
