I purchased a new cluster and just connected it into my 1st gen. It lit up like a christmas tree. There was power, however every light, check engine, car features, etc were all going off.
I was able to look at the blueprints for both clusters and there are a few things that don't line up.
You can get the majority of them but for instance:
Pin 12 UART2 (WA-BOX) (Grey) - Warning Systems (new gauge)
Pin 19 IMB/Security - Security Systems 9 (new gauge)
do not speak the same language as the old cluster.
not to mention, indications for supplemental restraints, airbag control modules, clock assembly - these are different in the new cluster. Getting it to work would be amazing, however you would have to reverse engineer both clusters for you to understand how they work.
You can get the male and female of the 40 pin and do the correct pins for the majority of the lines, however there are key ones missing that would be a problem for proper operation of the vehicle.
