Cool Re: Help au instrument cluster

I did this

http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...1238536&page=5

but I had a series II standard cluster. The above is what I did to make it work for an AUII Forte.
Look on page 2 of the tech guides as well

1: XR is a faux oil gauge. It works on a pressure switch same as low series dashes. You need to swap the sensor on the engine.
2: XR dash doesn't have the data output like the Fairmont. Don't believe there is a solution. If there is, it's something internal to the clusters.
3: Fairmont has input for each door, XR only has 1 input for all. You need to bridge all four door wires into 1 (driver's from memory)
