CoastChief Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Hey guys! I found a nice instrument cluster from a pick a part. But removing a piece a broke a small little pin that goes into the circuit board. Check pictures for details. Any help would be appreciated. Did I ruin it :/. Note- The piece with the yellow wheel
jdog Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 That looks like a later model cluster, what year did it come out of? Stock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231.
Pete M Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 you should add a signature with your truck's specs.
jdog Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 95 is electronic speedo, what you are going to want is 87-90 I believe if your 88 is stockStock 1988 swb 4.0 ax15 np 231.

tugboat95 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I'm not very knowledgeable about all the differences, but I pulled this out of an 89 Cherokee a few days ago. Just to compare the pictures. I pulled the whole cluster but all I really wanted was the volt meter.Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk
CoastChief Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 Thanks man, after reading up on these a little more. It seems that whats actually different is the odometer. Would you be willing to sell that part of yours. I damaged a small piece on mine. I worry it will be electronically unsound. 12 minutes ago, tugboat95 said: I'm not very knowledgeable about all the differences, but I pulled this out of an 89 Cherokee a few days ago.

It is a '91 cluster at the very oldest.
CoastChief Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 Here is some photos, mabe someone more knowledgable than us can explain.

CoastChief Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 Here is a image of a instrument cluster from the 80s. note the blue plastic and different connection points. Its a shame I was excited to get a tac!

Its a shame I was excited to get a tac! Well I may have paid 20 bucks for something I can't use. Do you know if the volt meter leads will match up to the circuit card? I haven't taken mine off yet to see what the back looks likeSent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk
CoastChief Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 I feel your pain man.....I got so excited today when I pulled out the cluster I forgot my damn screwdriver on the seat rushing to get home! I paid the same amount, put mine on ebay. Honestly from the looks of it. Its a very very different animal electrically

And may have made a mistake as mine is an 89 model.Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

rylee144 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I have this one as an extra. Free to who ever it helps. It came from an 80s 2.5L MJ. I know very little about it or any but it may be helpful maybe not

I just can't get over not having a tachometer

I know very little about it or any but it may be helpful maybe not "80s" doesn't help too much. The "80s" XJs and MJs all had mechanical speedometers, but there were two different types, and each type had a completely different method of attaching the speedo cable to the speedo head in the cluster. That cluster is from a base model with idiot lights instead of gauges. About the only thing anyone might want or need out of it is the speedoemter head, but without knowing which type of cable connection is has it's impossible to know what year vehicles it fits.
schardein Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I've got two "blue" clusters if anyone is looking. They are "3/4" clusters, with oil, volts, and temp gauges, but no tach. One uses the plastic clip, one uses the metal clip. Pretty sure the lower one is an 86 or older, as the temp gauge has a blue area at the "cool" end of the gauge that was only found on 86 and older. Not sure on the other one.
eaglescout526 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Top one is a late 88-90 model due to not having the AMC logo.
