Full digital turbo coupe cluster in my car?

April 02, 2005, 12:05:11 PM

There's a turbo coupe at my local junkyard with digital/power everything. As in push button control climate control( i wanted that too but after i pulled it i saw too many wires and got discouraged), full digital cluster with tach, ammt of fuel left, all that good stuff.
There's a few other birds with the cluster but this one is in mint, the dash on the turbo coupe hasn't been touched except the center console cover being pulled off.
How hard would it be to swap it in my cat? I know about the tach wire, but what about the fuel guage and what not?

Like Dominator said.

The car is likely an LX or '87 Sport with some TC goodies. That being said, you can swap the cluster in, but you'll need the fuel sender, temp sender and oil pressure sender to go with it. You'll also have to re-pin the connectors in your dash and add a few wires.

I'm pretty sure Ford planned at some point to put the full digital in a TC or have a turbo Cat again, because my full digital has a "Turbo Out" light. It even had a bulb in it :) I was toying with the idea of having it on all the time as a little joke.

I think the light says "Check Turbo", but yeah, you're right. I'm actually surprised that nobody has ever swapped the full digital cluster into a TC. The tach can be made to work with a 4-cyl, and now the speedo can read past 85...
