few q's in regards to replacing dash + pics

Postby rxmx » Fri Jan 08, 2010 7:21 pm

Heya,

Im in the process of replacing my dash as mine had a crack in it. I have the new dash now but the wiring loom behind dash is slightly different in 2 sections. Firstly on the new dash the white plug that plugs into the instrument cluster has less wires and is missing another little plug that mine has for the instrument cluster (see below). Now will this cause any probs if i install withough the little plug? 2nd is where the plugs are for the steering column mine has another extra plug where as the new dash doesnt (see below). Now if i install without these 2 missing plugs will i have dramas, should I just swap the wiring loom and be done with it?

Thanks,

This is my dash old dash with instrument cluster next to it with extra plug.

Your best bet is to use the dash loom out of the original dash
That way every thing that work in the old dash will work in the new dash

Easyer than fault finding later
