My search for Gauge swap info.

[KingArthur]

Did a search but didn't find the answer to my question. I kept finding info on mostly oldmobile dash. I have a 92 Lumina with plain instrument gauges. I wanted to put in the Euro gauges that have the tach, oil volt, water, and etc.

 

My question is: Can the swap be done and What do I need to change to get the gauges to work in my car?

get a cluster and plug it in and boom, as far as I know??????

is it really that easy? I had one of these clusters sittin here, ready to put into my old 90 lumina but I didn't because I couldn't find any wiring harness information

 

BLAH!

SOme wiring needs to be changed.. I can get the 4 pages of Cluster diagrams from a 92.. I used them for my 90 and the wiring is pretty much the same from 90-94.. Just minus the water temp wire if you have the voltometer..

you will also need a temperature sender, a oil psi sender if cluster has oil psi.

 

what year cluster are you tring to use?

Not exactly that easy. Every wire except for the the high beam indicator, I think, needs to be changed. The pinouts on the base cluster and the gages cluster are completely different. I listed the pinouts on here back some time ago.

I'm wanting to use the gauge cluster from the within the same year, 90-93. I trying to get parts car from a lady, its a 92 Euro Lumina with a 3.1.

Here is a link to the pinouts that I typed out back some time ago. Hope this helps and I was wrong about the high beam indicator, it's the Coolant temp indicator that doesn't move, all the rest do.

Wow.. I kinda needed that too.. TO tell me what each wire does, lol.. I need to compare now the Cutlass UB3 Digital, and the Lumina UB3 Analog wiring pinouts! Kick ass!

[Whiskey River]

I asked a couple of times if it could be added to the website like the cutlass cluster is but I never got a response.
