Title: Instrument Cluster Connectors?
Post by: ak96ss on September 12, 2007, 09:50:12 PM

OK, so call me a noob...

I am disassembling a spare cluster to swipe the PCB for mine. I go to take the parts cluster apart, and notice that there is an extra connector on the back.

What is the green connector for??

To reply to my own thread, this has something to do with the OBC, doesn't it?

No, the yellow connector is for the OBC and the green one si for Cruise Control. ;)

Black wire both in the instrument cluster and ECU harness.
