As mentioned the cluster plug is pinned differently for the 2 systems.
My real question is what is standard with a gauge panel? Does the 7-gauge panel normally have the temp light too? My pin connector is wired for temp gauge and temp light. It seems kind of crazy that they would put the temp light in a gauge panel if it was not to be operable. I understand the need to have a separate sending unit. Is this what was done when there was a temp gauge and temp light? I'm just trying to understand what a normal 7-gauge panel looks like as well as figure out what to do for my configuration. Thanks.
