Default Cluster Help

Hey guys, I know this topic has been mentioned a bunch but after much searching i still have some questions.

I bought a series 3 xr cluster to go into my forte au 2.
I know that the following changes need to be made to the loom before it will function correctly :

Wiring changes required when fitting a Mid/High Series Cluster to a Forte/Futura Model Falcon. Although the Mid and High Series Clusters will simply plug in, and A L M O S T function, there a re a few changes you will need to make, in order to get the Cluster to function correctly. These changes are needed in order for the following to function, Dial Illumination with Park Lamps On The ABS Warning Lamp to Illuminate correctly The Right Hand Side Indicator Lamp to function Correctly The following wires need to be moved around, in order for the Mid/High Cluster to function correctly, 1. The Park Lamp Dial (+ Positive) Illumination needs to be moved from Pin 13 to Pin 2. 2. The Dial Negative Dimmer Illumination needs to be moved from Pin 21 to Pin 3. 3. The ABS Warning Lamp Wire needs to be moved from Pin 8 to Pin 23 4. The R.H. Side Indicator wire needs to be moved from Pin 19 to Pin 26

(thanks to Howesy for that)

But I am unsure as to tell what pin is which.

If someone could show me in a picture or something what pin one is im sure i can count and swap pins from there.

Also (basic electronics question here) negative wires for these looms are ones with stripes down them??

Finally is there any tips to moving these pins around without damaging them?

Many thanks


Will
