How's it going?
Just picked up a Fairmont instrument cluster for my ea falcon, i was told by a mate that the wiring loom would be there to fit it but i can't find it. Does anyone know where it would be tucked away? there is sort of 3 plugs on the back of the cluster but i can only find two sets of wiring? thanks |

what model is your car currently, as the looms are different between, gli, s-pac/fairmont and ghia.

my car is just a gli, but i was told that the other stuff is just there. like behind the centre panels there is wiring for climate control and stuff.

What kind of cluster is it? Digital or analogue speedo? Is it from an EA?
Chances are you will need to run a wire for the tacho if it's an EA S/Fairmont dash. If it's a Ghia dash there would be more fun again.

Plus if it is a digital dash you will have to set up the doors so you know which one is open on the display :hihi:

i found a great tute on fordmods about the general wiring and classification of the diff clusters. it just means i have to rewire a bunch of stuff on the back of the new cluster but quite do-able.
