Cluster Plug Pinout Diagrams - 1986 Pin #6 mapping?
I found the below pin-out diagrams for the cluster plug on my 1986 Non-Gauge C10. When I look at the utilized pins on my plug, however, I see that there is (1) additional pin that is utilized on my plug that is not mapped in this diagram.
For me, I have a Pin #6 in my plug, but in the diagram I don't see #6 as being utilized in 1986. Does anyone have any idea what pin #6 is mapped to? Does anyone know if the attached diagram is accurate for 1986 non-gauge (idiot light) cluster implementations? Thanks in advance. |

That could be pin 8, 11, 2, or 17 depending on the orientation of the plug. What color is the wire?

Is there any more to that one? Looks promising but doesn’t say what the pins function(s) are. Also that diagram doesn’t have pin 16, which I think is seat belt warning. I do have a wire running to my belts, so it might just be that 16 isn’t common for all the years.

Pin #6 on the non-gauge (warning light) cluster is a key switched power feed to one side of the "battery / GEN" light. Should be a brown wire identified by circuit #50 on the factory diagrams and lead back to the "Heater / AC" fuse.
The other side of the "battery / GEN" light is connected to pin #7. It also uses a brown wire but this one is identified as circuit #25 and connects to the alternator. |

To make a long story short, I am trying to wire up a Dakota Digital Gauge Cluster and am trying to find out where to wire up a couple of things. Fuel Send - Pin 18 Fuel Negative - I don't know? Run a new wire? Tach Input - New wire to TACH side of HEI distributor 12 volt Accessory Switched - Pin 6 12 volt constant - Pin 5 Ground - Pin 9 High Beam Indicator - Pin 1 Parking break Indictor - Pin 8 Left Turn Indicator - Pin 10 Right Turn Indicator - Pin 11 Would anyone care to validate the pins above? I wonder if I can use the dimmer on the stock headlights switch to dim the VHX gauges? |

The control in the stock headlight switch is simply a rheostat (variable resistor) that reduces the voltage to the backlighting bulbs in the stock cluster. If the Dakota Digital cluster has an input that accepts a variable voltage to control the backlighting intensity then it will probably work. |
