Re: 95 inst. cluster

Does everything else on it work?

Is your 95 a PCM or VCM computer system?

There is a lot of difference in the dash wiring between a 95 - 98 and also old computer or VCM computer.

Re: 95 inst. cluster

Isn't the '98 cluster a different shape (oval) than the '95 (rectanglular)?

I put a '95 cluster in my '97, so I could have a tachometer (my '97 didn't have one), and it worked without any modifications. The wiring harness should have the tach wiring inclued.

This is my understanding;
Only '95 to '97s are interchangable.
Only '98 to 2001s are interchangable.

Re: 95 inst. cluster

I don't know if it'll apply but the '97 manual shows one white wire coming from the engine bay (ignition coil & computer together) and going to the tach input of the Speedo/Tach Solid State Logic board. There's also a dark green/white wire going to the logic board from the VCM & computer together.

Re: 95 inst. cluster

everything works except the tach,the cluster looks like the 95 except for the tack.
