1986 digital cluster? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I recently got ahold of an 86 digital cluster for my camry, yet the wiring doesn't seem to be correct. Can it be rewired or is it a lost cause?

Help pleeaaaaase!

Oh, and I drive an 86 toyota camry!

The bottom one is the current speedometer, the top one is the new digital that I want to put in.

The one big disadvantage about the digital cluster is that it is not a plug and play item if your trying to install it on a same year camry with the analog.

In order to make the digital work in a non-digital cluster car, you will need to yank out some sensors from the digital cluster car (i.e. fuel sensor I believe for one) and wire them up. I know somebody here with a Gen2 did that, but I can't seem to remember or find their thread about it.

Ahh, dang, I was afraid that might be the case.

The one plug that actually did fit was the fuel plug, but it was located on the opposite side, so I would've had to rewire it anyway.

I read this AFTER the fact. So yeah, my gas gauge is no deal, and I have 2 "spare" wires from the digi cluster. All I did was hack off the harness that was in my dash and the one that was in the digital car and splice the 2 together (just matching the wires). But now I have spare wires and no gas gauge.
