Oldsmobile DIS install?

[cs-x]

Hello,

 

Can anyone point me in the direction of where the plugs are for installing the DIS? If I have them.. if not, a wiring diagram would help. I have just a plain 89 cutlass if that helps. I'd also like to install the electronic climate control, but I heard that's a bit harder.

 

Also, how hard is it to upgrade to the full cluster? I have 2 of them now, but am a little apprehensive about the rewiring

before you splice anything for the DIS, look deep and good behind your climate controls, your car might be prewired and they might be tucked up back there. if not follow this:

 

The BLUE connector is C1.

 

 

Wire A = a RED wire. Connect it to an ORANGE wire that

is HOT ALL OF THE TIME. (I connected mine to the

ORANGE wire that gives power to the cigarette lighter,

but it is recommended that you connect it to the ELEC.

Fuse #2 constant +12V (top row, middle fuse).)

 

 

Wire B = PINK/BLACK. Connect it to a wire that is HOT

IN RUN. (I connected mine to one of the PINK/BLACK

wire in my dash, but it is recommended that you

connect it to CLUST. Fuse #9 switched +12V (3rd row,

far right).)

 

 

Wire C = BROWN. Connect it to the light on input. In

my car I have a YELLOW wire in slot C10 but I think

that that is exclusive to the digi-dash. I want to soy

that there should be a YELLOW wire coming out of the

headlight switch that should work. I know that on my

dash, when the lights are on, and the display is at

MAX, then it has no power in the wire, but when I

adjust the lever down, the wire becomes hot, and dims

steadily. I use a tester that is just a screwdriver

looking thing that has a point at one end, and an

alligator clip that you hook up to ground.

 

 

Wire D = GREY. Connect this to one of the grey wire

for illumination. I hooked mine up to the GREY wire

that lights up the bulb for the cigarette lighter

light.

 

 

Wire E = BLACK/WHITE. This is a ground.

 

 

Wire F = BLACK/GREY. This wire is not used.

 

Wire G = YELLOW. Connect this wire to the LITE BLUE

wire in the dash (You may not have this wire). This is

your English/metric wire. In my car, I push a button

on the dash to change it from English (MPH) to metric

(KPH). When this wire is hooked up, it automatically

changes the DIC display from one to the other when the

E/M button is pushed on the dash. This is a wire that

is not necessary for the DIC to function, so if you do

not have the wire, then just leave it unconnected.

 

 

Wire H = BLACK. This is a ground. I hooked this up to

the BLACK wire connected to the cigarette lighter

light.

 

 

 

The BLACK connector is C2.

 

 

Wire A is ORANGE. Connect this to the ORANGE wire

coming out of the ALDL connector under your dash. This

is your SERIAL DATA INPUT where the DIC will get the

info for your gauges button.

 

 

Wire B = DARK GREEN. Connect this to the DARK GREEN

wire in the dash. This is your Vehicle Speed Input. In

my car it is wire number D15.

 

 

Wire C = PINK. Connect this one to the PURPLE wire in

the dash. This is your vehicle Fuel sender wire. In my

car it is wire number D13.

 

 

Wire D = BLACK/GREEN. This is another GROUND. It is

not used in the 91 model.

 

 

 

Driver Info System was not available 92+.

 

 

You will not find a new cutlass with one. If you put

one in your car, then it will go where the storage

cubbyhole is under the ashtray. The screw-holes for

the 98 Regency’s DIC is identical the Cutlasses, so it

will go there with no problem. If you get the DIC out

of a Cutlass, then be sure to get the storage pocket

as well. IF (OR WHEN) you get the HUD, then the

control switch will go where the storage is. 89-90

cars got a little pocket in the empty space. HUD

control panel was mounted above the headlight switch

(below the dash pad).

91 cars got a little pocket if they didn't have HUD.

Cars with HUD got the control panel instead of the

pocket.

 

note though that, at least in my car, the short lengths of wire left in my pigtail matched the colors in the car instead of what's listed above.

 

ex:

 

Wire C = BROWN. Connect it to the light on input. In

my car I have a YELLOW

 

My wire C was yellow on the pigtail, so it matched the car. another year may have had brown there instead, for whatever reason.

 

also, get all the grounds listed and splice them together first so you can do them all at one time. all of my wires for power/ground go to my cig lighter wires, one to the ALDL connector and like 3-4 into the cluster harness/headlight switch harness
