correct guage cluster 1989 Mustang to 1988 v8 swap

ncpantherfan · 11-19-2008

I have a 89 4 cyl converted to 8 with parts from a 88.
I have done lots of reading, but I can not find the correct answer. Which guage cluster do I need to use?
I have the one with the lights on the lower right portion, and they do not work. Is this the correct cluster, or do I need the one without the lights?

I know the 88 and 89 dash wiring harness are the same, according to the sticky on the swap, the computer was changed and the main enging bay harness was changed as well.

Trying to figure out if I need to replace the cluster, or chase wires.
Thanks

check the bulbs. If you have a lets say "88 motor, 88 Harness, 88 Ecu, 88 cluster or 89" they should all work, assuming the senders are all hooked up.

Bulbs are OK. I want to get the dummy lights to work. All other lights work as they should.

I need to know whick guage cluster is for the 88 mustang. With lights, or without.
Thanks

If you mean the low coolant, low gas, low oil, warning lights, those are GT only and an LX won't have them, not even the wiring harness to plug into them. Is that the lights you mean? If it is, you'll have to find a GT harness.
