JDM Gauges NEED HELP, something's wrong. Options

[white97]

I just ordered a set of JDM gauges that came out of an ST202 in Japan. They plug up fine and i get a red light for the door, however, when i crank the car up only the Fuel and Temperature gauge move. can anyone help me here?

1. i didnt know that it would be that much of a difference, cause they plue right up.
2. i liked the way it looked and its different from anyone else near me that has a 6th gen. but again i didnt know there'd be such an issue with wiring.

can you help me or not?

thank you and of course I can help

FIRST, please please please DO NOT do what tomazws did, no offence Tom, but there's a waaaaay easier way to do it and 99% of everyone who takes a needle off has major problems putting them back on.

you could always re-wire your entire your entire interior cluster plugs like this post here but you have a 97 and the wiring diagrams *may* be a bit different.

have your cluster out of the car and the 202 cluster side by side flip them over and look at the back. The tach, speedo, and the fuel/temp sections can be swapped and they will work with your cluster. The tach is held on by 3 screws, speedo by 4, and the fuel/temp by 6.

swap the sections, here's a pic of what I mean.





just make sure that the fuel level needle matches your stock cluster.

I can't guarantee that the speedo and rpms will be accurate but obviously looking different is more important than actually knowing your correct speed to you I guess.

good luck
