SR5 Guage Cluster

[Full_M3tal]

I Have One Laying On The Shelf That I Tried To Put In My 86 4RNR, But A Few Problems When Installed..


The Tac, Temp, Fuel (Weehn I Plugged It In Fuel Went To Full Tank And Stayed There), And Maybe Volts (Don't Remember If It Had It...) Did Not Work.

Only The Speedo Worked, Hence Cable Operation..

Is There A Reason For This? Is It Because It Was An Automatic And The The Wiring Is Different From A Manual?

And Yes The Blinker Fluid Was Full.....

Sounds like a personal problem..... Uhm my guess is there's a bad ground in the SR5 cluster, can't think why all those would not work at once...

Did you put the stock one back in? Did it all work fine?

Yes It Works Fine.

There's a cluster swap link in the FAQ... It must be the new cluster though... I put an 84 SR5 dash in my 89 4Runner, and it was all plug and play. Did you change the oil pressure sender? It will fry the new dash if you didn't.... I thought it only killed the oil pressure gauge though. Not the whole thing....

Mine was plug and play as well into my 85 4Runner. I can't remember the donor year...maybe 87 but it was 5 speed to 5 speed. I have read some threads where people have had trouble with the automatics but I can't remember the details.

You have to do the oil pressure sending unit swap BEFORE you put power to the new gauge or it will fry at least the oil pressure gauge. I also don't know if it will mess up other things as well.

the pin out is different between auto and 5 speed only about 5 wires to change follow the tracing on the back of the cluster the differences are pretty clear just have to move some wires around in the plugs .

I just did a cluster swap in my 86, and I seem to be having the same issues. Fuel gauge goes to full, voltage seems to work -- goes about 3/4 up -- but the coolant temp goes to half and stays there, and the oil pressure needle doesn't move from the very bottom. I changed the oil pressure sender before I touched anything else.

I just finished wiring the tach from the test plug by the ignition coil to the back of the cluster, and it's not doing a thing.

Until reading this post, I thought I just had a bad cluster. Maybe it's something else.

Any thoughts?

Does anybody know what pin outs would have to be changed if my problem is the manual/automatic issue?

Okay! This is for an analog combination meter, digital is different! You will need to move three wires and possibly 4 if your cluster came from a turbo truck.
Three connectors at the back of the combination meter,
with the locks on the top and the pins facing you pin #1 on each is far left. (A)=White 12 pin connector, (B)=White 8 pin connector and (C)=Blue 12 pin connector.

Your Gauge ground is not in the proper position, that is why fuel is full (grounded out) and the temp guage is not working properly (no ground). Fuel Sender-Yellow/Red, Gauge ground-White/Black, Tach-Black, Oil Sender-Yellow/Black.
