Tssss, tssss
There seems to be a lot of questions about Clusters, Gauges, Speedo and Odo meters, so I thought why not set up a page as a reference guide / database / knowledge center?
Over time I collected a lot of pictures. I created a Gallery with all the photos I have, which you can see here: http://photobucket.com/clusters_fronts and also the back sides and 24V models: http://photobucket.com/clusters_back
Here is a sample of what’s there.
I’ll describe them (with the same photos) later, dividing them in 4 generations.
The credit for the photo’s goes to everybody who posted their cluster photo and info on the Internet.
If you have a cluster which is not in the gallery, post a picture here with the year, model and country info and I will upload your picture so the gallery is always up to date.
The idea behind this is to post all the info we have about years, models, exceptions, technical info, how it works, repairs, upgrade, maintenance, rebuilds, modifications, new face plates, exchanging gauges for new mechanical and / or electrical ones etc. in this thread.
I’m still looking for info on the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). What years it was used and for what purpose. I know that it was used for sounding a buzzer at 100Km/h in some countries and also for activating the (de)smog stuff in FJ’s but the full explanation I don’t know. Maybe you guys can add that info here.
I’ll ad photos of the gauges and senders with part numbers and electrical info later.
This first posting will be edited when needed for adding / changing info and to keep the links up to date.
