VN dash lights + tacho issue

[timmy_tam]

did it still work?

i put the connectors in wrong, and i smelt something burn inside the cluster
and now the indicators won't work (don't turn on, or making clicking noise, only hazard works)

all 3 clusters have the same problem now, even tho i smelt it from one clsuter, i think it's probably wiring, as how can all 3 go when i fuked up one?

here are some picts of the mess i made, the 'bcm' and the ecu

I'm just looking through the wiring diagrams in the manual to try to see what those modules are. Have you got a repair manual? If not I can scan some wiring diagrams if thats any help.

I think the module under the steering wheel might be for the trip computer and instruments. You will also have a module for cruise control,one for door locks, one for anti-theft and one for climate control if you've got that.

The VS cluster didn't work after I fried it! You could see the burnt wires on the back of it. Did your clusters smoke at all? Mine poured smoke out pretty soon after I put it in, so I ripped it out again in about 3 seconds flat.

heyyy
yeh, i saw smoke, coming from the back of the cluster

i've got a gregoy's manual, not much help tho
if that is the module for trip comp and instruments, could that be fried? could i just need a replacement?

Going to ask a fairly strange question...did those clusters actually come out of a VN/VP? Because the ones from VR's onwards need to be rewired to work in the VN otherwise they do smoke.

they all worked, well, to a certain extent, but otherwise they still worked
it wasn't like i put them in and they started to smoke right away
