good work mate... I once put a xf digital cluster into my old s pack. Looked pretty sweet.
As far as the door sensor goes, I'm just having a guess here but one would asume there would be 4 wires (one for each door) that would go to ground when opened. This would then trigger the light on the dash. It could also be controlled through the BEM, so you might even need to get that if you want it to work. That way you would also get the extra's - fading dome lights, adjustable dim/brightness of the lights for the cluster etc... I am only guessing though - I'm sure someone would know, or even have a wiring diagram you can look at. Cheers Matt |
