fiatslug87 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 The wire connector has tabs at the top and bottom that need to be squeezed for removal. The back looks like this and you can see where the two connectors hook up. if you're talking about the column shift auto, I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It threads down and out through a hole in the bottom of the cluster and is clipped on to the rotating part of steering column housing, i.e. rotating when you shift through the A/T gears.

Minuit Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 If you're trying to remove the column indicator wire from the column, just push (or is it pull?) the clip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustybottoms88 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 When I reinstall I will take a pic of where it goes. It helped me see it by removing the lower plastic piece that goes along the bottom of the entire dash. I took my dummy gauge set and a 3/4 gauge set and cut a hole in the bottom of the 3/4 set for the indicator wire to go through. So now i have oil pressure, coolant temp, voltage gauge and shift indicator. More details in my build thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling this thread out of the grave. HOrn, you've done a gauge cluster swap on your '92, haven't you? I'm working on mine right now and I can't figure out how to remove the wire for the gear indicator. Any help? Also, the '92 won't have a speedo cable plugged into the cluster, right? I'm trying to troubleshoot my non-operational speedometer while I'm swapping in full gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I remember when you drop the lower dash panel you can see the cable and how it clips to the rotating shroud on the column. No speedo cable on the HOs. The most common cause of an inop speedo is a bad speed sensor in the AW4 tail extension. Or an open circuit from it to the speedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
