Sorry this video is so long, but I wanted to cover in detail how to wire up a custom instrument cluster.
In the previous installment I showed how to make the cluster, this video shows how I wired everything up and made it all work. Even though much of this work is specific to #ETCGDadsTruck, the techniques shown can be applied to any instrument cluster you might be building and installing.
Here’s a link to the first part of this video where I showed how to make the cluster: https://youtu.be/i5Zy04iBvzI

I'm going to be putting a glow 3 pod on my pillar and a speedometer plus fuel Guage. Where can I download the wiring schematic for a 1991 chevy s10?
WHERE CAN I FIND A BOOK LIKE THAT FOR HONDAS/ACURAS PLEASE N THANX

Will a test light work for testing the wires?
Where can I get a scamatic book like his ?

Great video, thanks for the very helpful info, I’m currently starting a LS swap on a 92 Isuzu pup and I’m gonna be doing a diy cluster myself
What color is the wire for the gas gauge
Eric great work. Can you tell me where you got the manual with the wiring diagrams you were working from? Im getting ready to fo the some thing and have been looking for a diagram like that.
Watching this casually during a cold weather advisory. That buzzer sounds just like the overload alarm on my power inverter.
Where do u get the Schematics for the insturment cluster wires
I buy a fuel gauge and I connected the same ways he show in the video it don't work??
Where can I find the dchematic por that year of truck?
Where did you get the schematic book
Where'd you get that schematic for your vehicle?
WHERE DID YOU GET THE SCHEMATIC. PLEASE I SAW SOMEONE ELSE ASKED AND YOU DID NOT ANSWER???
Thorough. Watching these vids will earn you CEUs
Where can I obtain that book with the wiring? That would be amazing to have
Where did you get that tester?
Hello. I have a 2008 Cheetah Safari Motor coach on a Roadmaster. My Gauges are blinking and spinning around like a pinball machine. Is this something you can help with?
Eric where did you get the wire diagram for this OBS truck, I like how every thing is on one page/holdout
I'm in the process of doing the same thing on a like truck just newer…1994 OBS
Could you explain how you got the hvac system to work after deleting the computer? I'm currently doing this same type of project but I'm not sure about how to rewire the system.
Thanks for the video – am planning on getting the exact same gauge set for my Samurai so this was very helpful!
Can you please send copy of that diegram for the claster 89 chavy c1500
Hi dear nice video
Let’s connect each other
Stay safe and stay healthy.
Really some very good common sense approach to getting it done right. Thoroughly enjoyed your video and learned quite a bit what to look out for and be careful of. Absolutely excellent job and it was intense watching you retro fitting the wiring. I’ve been there on a Jeep with no gauges at all that shops turned down the job saying it was to complex. I got her done though and it all came together nicely. I watched this cause I’m about to do my 1989 Chevy Silverado with a new display/instrument cluster. Thank you for a great video. I have a good idea what I’m getting into now.
If I wanted to find a wiring diagram like the one you have in this video for a 1983 Chevy Caprice where could I find it?
I prefer the original
After watchin this Im positive I don't want to try this on my truck, and the way you had to shove all that wiring and connections back into that space behind the panel looks like shit IMHO, just saying.
im getting ready to build a dash cluster for my 93 ford f350
Where did you get the wiring schematics book?
Where you the gauges
was wondering if you can give me a hand on the wiring diagram/pinout for my 1994 blazer k1500 -2 door
amazing, any input to link up to a Subaru engine 2005 H6 3.0 legacy? tq
Where did you get such a big wiring diagram for this truck?. I'm building a 91 model which pretty much the same
Where did u get the book for that wiring diagram??
24:55 That little piece sticking up is to prevent the potentiometer from rotating in the hole. Normally you drill a small hole that it sits in. Normally it will work with the tab cut off, but they tend to work themselves a little loose over time and can rotate when you turn knob to max end limits.
what about that alternator wire?
Can you help me find the diagram for a Cadillac Escalade 2001 or 2002 model 🙏
