Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
9/90 Revision
In 9/90 the cluster was slightly redesigned again to address changes in the fuel gauge and some minor physical changes. The electronics of the cluster as well as the coding plug were upgraded considerably.
The coding plug and the instrument cluster are not compatible with the earlier redesign. The printed circuit board and the coding plug are colored blue for distinction over the components of the earlier redesigned cluster.
The new blue coding plug is also keyed differently to prevent unintentional exchange with the earlier coding plug.
