No power after dash upgrade. Zip. Nada.
I can give details on how I did it, but let it be known that I made a lot of mistakes along the way... Some of which I am still sorting out. It's not really rocket science but if you're like me and are starting with a zero knowledge base then it's daunting. If I had to do it again I would have had someone with an eletrical background help.
Anyway... I started by pulling the old cluster and dry fitting the new insert. Then I sat behind the wheel for a bit and decided where things should go. You can get this insert at redline gauge works for about $100.00. It's ABS and has a little flextime to it. It's very forgiving material to drill...
The next step was to draw a plan. I drew about 10 of these and then stuck them behind the wheel until I arrived at this one. I left space for warning lights, possible switch locations and turn signals.
Then the scary part.. Drilling out your overpriced sheet of ABS. I mounted all the gauges and checked for clearance in the dash. I had to relocate the headlight and wiper switch to new locations because it just wouldn't fit.
