Wiring Question!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TWAN]

Okay i have been done with the swap for quite a while. And I have searched numerous times and seen nothing on this. Just wanted the mystery solved for peace of mind.

My question is concerning the gauge cluster after my swap. It seems the only lights that work are my e-brake, seatbelt, and door open warning lights. Everything else never comes on, even when i turn the key to ignition on position I only get those 3.

I first thougt it was the gauge cluster because I swaped the USDM with the NISMO one. But I put the USDM one back in and i only get those 3 lights.

Now when I did the wiring under the dash for the cluster plug I remember there being like 5 or 6 left over that were listed as KA check wires. Are these the wires that get a signal for the other four warning lights? If so does anyone have the schematics on which wire conects to which wire? Reason is because there is 4 wires left over on the SR harness and 5 or 6 left over on the KA side. Like i said i have been searching and seen nothing on this, so any help would be great.

Yes, you are missing connections....try to download the proper FSM according to the year and model that applies to both clusters, and match the inputs with the right wires.... Now remember to play with this stuff with your battery disconnected or you will burn fuses like crazy....these circuits are very sensitive.....If everythying else works on the cluster...??? then you are almost done, all the cluster is looking for is for a very simple signal telling it to turn the indicator light on or off.......

Are the gauge illumination lights working??? how about blinkers???

Yes everything else is working fine. That is what is throwing me off. When I did my swap I followed several sites wiring write ups. I have searched endlessly on this also. It seems that when doing the uderdash wiring for the cluster the only signal wires that you hook up are the ones for the speedo, tach, and water temp. That is why I was curious if the left over wires had to do with the other sensors.

I am going to download the FSM to make sure that everything is direct replacement. Was just hoping that someone had encountered the same problem and allready fixed it. I guess I will have a write up here pretty soon then in case anyone has this issue also.

where can i download the "FSM", i have a s13 sr20det black top and i'm haven't done the wiring as yet, can you give me some advice on the wiring? the sr20det is going into my 89 240(s13)

Do a search on the forums for the links to download FSM's....I have my own manual for my car so I dont really keep track of the links, sorry....
