Old dog learns new trick
This is for all you who have went to the dark side and went to fuel injection.
I finally decided after to many years of allowing the service engine soon light to be at the bottom of my dash to finally decide to find it a permanent location in the instrument cluster. So I'm about to drill a hole in the cluster back to route the wires into the unused gage area next to the oil pressure. Though I'm just not thrilled about doing so, I decided to explore other options. Now in the fuel gauge face there is the brake light and a temp light. Well of course the brake light always illuminates at startup to signal that it works. But I have never seen the temp light illuminate. Well there is a good reason, the location in the plug for the temp circuit in the back of the cluster that slot isn't used. So a few minutes of rough wiring it in to see if it works and I turn the ignition switch and it lights up. All I had to do was remove the contact from another dead harness cluster plug and splice it into the SES wire coming from the computer and I'm done. Now the next thing I'm looking to do is get the silk screen from a computer cluster and put it in place of the temp light lens. Man I should have done this a long time ago.
