Fuck yes, much better!

Sorta fixed my glove box today..but I will eventually need to replace it, as..
the cut-out slits for the screws have broken on the ends, and my washer-fix will only last for so long...
..Also: Have my 13-Button OBC harness on the way from Schneller 3er.
Hope to retrofit it all this upcoming weekend, and install this thang thang.

Today was VERY productive.
Took me hours, but it was worth it.
Took almost everything out of my dash.
Installed the European Cluster w. trim trings.
Did the 13-Button OBC Conversion, gutted the old harness.
Having a Fully-functioning cluster with ALL lights working is nice. :D
Pics tomorrow. Drove around tonight with it still in sort of a mess, need to reinstall a few things tomorrow as well.

[trackjunkie21]

did you ever find out what the 2 plugs were for?

[freeride53]

Yeah, well sorta.
The Door gong is apparently hooked up to the OBC, to 'gong' when the temperature hits freezing..or something like that.
A lot of people who's tutorials I read said they left it out, and it isn't that important to me either.
I still haven't put installed the OBC into the dash yet, I need a new back light first. This one's way too dim.

Discovered that the old cluster had been causing a short, blowing Fuse #12.
Replaced it, now my Speedometer, Odometer, and Liter per Meter Gauge all work again
...after three months

[freeride53]

Before you spend insane amounts of money on the backlight, rip it apart and solder new bulbs onto it from radioshack, I forget which ones I used but they where a bit stronger and worked great. Not worth the $65 asking price from pelican if you ask me.

^What I thought as well..gonna give them a try today

[freeride53]

Took it to the exhaust shop today, I was my wit's end.
Dropping it off tomorrow for my new muffler (mine's been shot for about 10 yrs :D)
and the heat shield had practically come off.

Also, replaced the door stop yesterday. Old was one was broken into two.
