Psych0matt Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 I've had the UB3 cluster sitting around for a while, and I'd like to put it in, but I haven't been able to check any yards or anything for the plug end for it. Does anyone have a spare one or could hook me up with one? I'd love you forever if you did 8) Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 shouldn't need one.. http://www.w-body.com/upgrades/88-91cutlass-cluster/index.html just rewire the old one. Quote
cutlsp Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 i'll have another one in a few days i hope 2 weeks at the lastest :? Quote
Psych0matt Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Posted August 23, 2004 just rewire the old one. This I know, but it physically doesnt fit, the plug is different Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 I think you only have to grind off a ridge or 2 to make the connector fit. Quote

Dirty Rockstar Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 Try gettin it to work in a Lumina.. I just got mine free today.. Gonna get crackin on it soon! Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 I need the diagram assignments for my Lumina's gauges cluster.. My my it would be nice if I could just drop this one in and have it work since my Lumina is wired for full gauges.. hehe.. EDIT: I have the plug and a bit of wire that goes with this UB3 Dash.. Can I just match up the colors and roll away more distracted than before? Quote
Lee Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 Yep, it's the ridges that are different. Cut or grind off the ridge(s) that don't fit and the plug will work. On my Buick, the old base plug had one ridge in the center and the UB3 had two ridges. I was fortunate to have the UB3 plug also so I was OK. Might have gotten the 1 _ 2 ridge/base _UB3 backwards. Me and the Regal are going on our 9th winter. It's a new record for my car possession. My wife wants to put it in a demo derby next summer. It'd be one fine looking derbyist.....till the countdown finishes. Personally, I like the cost per mile of my fully paid for, liability only, vehicle. Plus it has a heck of alot nicer ride than the Vibe.....okay, the steerings a bit loose, The driver seat it getting a bit thread worn. I got a spot of rust on the front fender....where the dealership did some paint work in 98. A$$holes. All the bondo they put on is going bad. I'd gotten keyed and so I had them smooth out a few dings. One being from the keying jerk bending my antena and thereby bending my fender metal. Others from car doors. I'm rambling because I never get to post anymore. Car keeps doing it's job. 70+ miles every workday. Then there's the home trips to the store, pool, ball practice, etc. Good car!!!!!!!! Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 Sho 'nuff, I took my spare 94 Cutlass connector pigtail, sanded down the 2 ridges with my Dremel, and it fits my spare 89 Cutlass UB3 cluster like a glove. Omigod Lee, a Vibe??!! I hope your wife picked it out 100% and you had no say in it!!! That would be the one I demo-derby! Quote
