Instrument Cluster Help

Post by Benjamin14121991 »

Hi There,

I have just purchased a 406 Executive Estate. I have just purchased a instrument cluster off eBay for £0.99 and went to collect it as it was only up the road. When I got it home I thaught it would just plug in. Unfortunatly it appears that my car is the older version (White & Black Plug) and the one I brought is a later single black plug LED type one. I was wondering if I can retrofit the later one into my car as I would like to purchase the white dial, chrome bezel one out of a later S or SE car (which should in theory have the same single black plug as the one I have just purchased). I plugged it into my car and although the instruments worked

Peugeot 406 Fuel filler cap warning light (N/A)
Peugeot 406 Door open warning light (DOESN'T WORK)

Peugeot 406 Engine oil temperature indicator (WORKS)

Also the sidelight panel lights work when the sidelights are swithched on. As mentioned above, the odometer illumination doesn't work.

I don't know if the LEDs are kaput or if they are powered off the white connector.

Any help apprieciated and also diagrams between the two would help. I have a spare black plug off a scrap car so can splice this one in as it plugs into the connector on the cluster.

I was just wondering if anybody has previously done this mod and if it was successful.

Many thanks

Ben
