I'm a professional technician, so I had plugs laying around from previous repairs. Those were off a ford fuel pump connector I had saved while doing bigger wiring repairs

@@ajpotter4330 okay where do you think I could find them connectors

@lennyharding4265 those specific ones you would have to go to a junk yard to steal off a vehicle. However a quick google search found these 5 pin connector sets Male and female a.co/d/9ylimP2

Thank you very much I will try them

I do not. I would reach out to intellitronix directly. They may make one for it

I didn't. I'm an automotive technician. I saved them from an engine swap I had done that the replacement engine came with a new wiring harness

Ok thanks for the response I’m doing it as we speak another question when u was describing the wires is it just one ground wire to control all gauges or do each gauge has it own ground

@bamabullies864 the cluster I installed in this video had one single ground if I remember correctly. However they have updated their circuit boards and the new ones have individual grounds for most of the sensors to give better accuracy. That being said most sensors use a body ground to work. So you can try a single ground, but if you have a sensor that isn't reading exactly right then run its own ground

Ok thanks a lot bc mines does have separate grounds

@bamabullies864 using them will get you better accuracy on each Guage. I only personally ran my updated cluster to have a stand alone ground for the temp sensor and oil pressure sensor. Everything else got a standard frame ground and it works fine. I did update the oil pressure sensor and coolant temp sensors to the ones they supplied that are two wire sensor too

I didn't, your correct. It had a bad solder joint. I was able to fix it. Just pulled the board out, got the solder back to liquid with a soldering iron and then let it cool again. Fixed it

Yes it does. It's displayed as a number representing the percentage of fuel you have. From 99 percent at a full tank all the way down to 0 or 1 percent. I've never personally gotten it lower than 15 percent, but has been accurate based on the amount of fuel I put in.

@@ajpotter4330 thank you. I don't have it completely hooked up yet because of issues with hooking the speedometer up, but I had the fuel gauge going yesterday.... sitting still slightly revving the engine watching the tach the fuel gauge went from 2 to 1 to 0. The car was still running, so I assumed the gauge wasn't working.

You do need to remember these older vehicles dont have the same baffles in the fuel tanks newer ones do. So the fuel moves around when the vehicle is moving to and you will get a small fluctuation in fuel gauge reading from it

Yes it is. It's displayed as a percentage

I honestly don't remember where I found the hole for mine. I may have used the hole for the speedo cable since I removed mine and mounted my sensor on the transmission. Then I built a three wire harness from the cluster to the transmission for the vss

I'm not sure. Since its sensor driven I'm not sure if you can or not. Mine ended up being close so I didn't bother digging that far into it

your dash will eventually go out

@@arthurjordan8371 I know

Once I played with everything the only gauge that isnt 100 percent accurate is the oil pressure gauge. It reads above actual pressure when oil pressure is 50 psi or above. Everything else is SPOT on now. However the original point was because the old gauges were failing and I was tired of replacing them with more used parts. And it looks cool

What type of pins comnectors are those and do I need more wiring of same color to connect to wires in the car

Your very welcome

Alaud those are connectors from a couple of fords I had worked on in the past. Something i had laying around not something I purchased

I had some issues with my cluster when I first got it due to solder joints that weren't soldered well. If you have part of the cluster that turns on and lights up and part that doesn't. I would suspect you probably have a similar issue or a bad cluster.

Ok thanks

No I dont. I just looked quickly to try to find a link. Not having much luck. However it doesnt really matter what connectors you use as long as it has enough pins and you have both a Male and female side since your going to have to wire both ends up anyway. Those were just what I had laying around from harness swaps I've done.

I have no idea. I would need to see a picture of what light your talking about

I don't remember exactly how, but I ended up modifying the sensor they sent me so that it would screw into the transmission. the only problem i have now is by doing all of this i have removed the circuit board that was in the cluster to run the speed sensor for the cruise control. so once in a while i get a check engine light with a speed sensor code.

@@ajpotter4330 thank you for replying back AJ. Great video

Balin Williamson the only thing I could think of to do would be swap in a speedo gauge from a different submodel that goes higher. They are cable ran so they should work fine.

Michael B they were just extra plugs I had laying around. Off of a ford as I'm a mechanic. But you could use just about any plug

Brian Adamson I think I used the ground and 12 volt source from the cluster as well. So I ran a three wire harness through the firewall. It's been a while so I would have to look at it again to be sure. For running through the firewall I used the grommet that's already in the firewall which if I remember correctly is up and towards the driver's side of the brake pedal. It was a pain to find on the engine side. I used a hard fishing line to poke a hole in the grommet and pull the wires back through it. Pushed from inside till I found it outside. It's tucked near the booster on the outside.

Fabian Arreola gotta be honest, don't have much that mine needs anymore. It's mint. I may recover the headliner again. Not entirely happy with my first job.

Darren Stevens I'm an automotive technician (mechanic) those were plugs I had laying around as test plugs.

Monico Haro from intellitronix through ebay.

AJ Potter thank you my fuel gauge wont work and it stopped working ever since i got the fuel pump fixed.

just being honest, chances are EXTREMELY high it's not the gauge. your probably going to get this cluster installed and the fuel gauge still won't work......take it back to the shop that installed the fuel pump and tell them that it quit when they installed the pump.

givemaboot it only comes with a small amount of wire attached to it with the expectations of useing the OE harness. I added plugs to both ends just so I could remove it if necessary. however other than the speed sensor harness it's designed to use the original. that being said since it gives you individual wires for each input there is no reason you couldn't run those wires directly to the signal outputs of each sensor.

Thanks AJ!

Enrique Infante the main cluster is just screws. They aren't hidden. Right on the face of the cluster the torx bolts. I think 8 of em. Then remove all the gauges to get to the back part

It would help to unbolt the top "shelf" part of the dash and lower the steering column

Riggs no, this is designed as a stand alone computer. it takes the same inputs the original cluster did and converters them to a digital display. except for the speedo which it comes with a sensor and plug to make that work.

AJ Potter perfect!

Riggs hey how do you take out a cluster cuz i need to replace my gauges or just replace the gauges..

on this vehicle you just take the screws out of the main face covers then the gauges just pull out. other than the speedo it has a cable attached to it

AJ Potter yea i took it off but i couldn't take the brace off the gauges came off but that..

i feel it was. i was tired of the old gauges going bad/not reading right. in particular my temp gauge. only down side is the glass doesnt block all visibility so when the sun shines on it you can see the circuit board. otherwise very happy
