Ok i have an 89 si.. The original cluster works on it perfect... but i have the newer one 90-91 and it plugs but when you close the trunk the "brake" light comes off and when the ebrake is down the Trunk light goes off.. do i need the 90-91 harness.. anyone had ths prob b4????

 

Why not just keep the original?

IIRC the cluster hoods are quite different also.

 

well the dash i bought (since mine was bad) was the newer one and I dont know if the cluster hood of the 89 one i have bolts with the dash i have and I dont have a cluster hood of my 89 to try it out.. so before I buy that i would have to know if it does or just buy the harness of the 90-91

 

the plugs are the same but the wires need to go to different spots. on this page you'll find diagrams that will help you figure out which wires need to be moved.

lol...lets see if i understand that "sentence"...

you have an 89 si, it has a nasty dash.

you have or are planning to purchase a 90-91 dash. correct?

you need to know how to wire the 90-91 cluster.

Id look around the FAQ if i were you, there is bound to be pin-outs of both clusters.

 

i have an 89 si the dash that came with it was bad as in cracked etc.. i bought a newer year (90-91) dash with cluster , cluster hood etc... I have the 89 cluster but not the hood. but i have the hood and cluster of the new one (as stated earlier).. thanks for the help

 

just use the stock cluster. remove the harness from both dash's, and put the 89 dash harness on the 90-91 style dash, and use your 89 cluster cover and cluster brackets.

 

thanks on that tip man appreciate it I didnt know the cluster hood off my 89 fitted the 90-91 dash

 

It wont.

use this link to re-pin your 88-89 plugs to 90-91 status...

alright thanks... when i get the chance i will re pin them

 

And I thought I was going goofy.. I switched from a dx-ex 4dr cluster and my seatbelt warning light/chime won't stop. Thanks for the info.

So do you need your old 89 Si cluster still? I can take it off your hands if you want

 

The cluster hood will fit.
use the 89 cluster, with the 89 hood, on the 90 dash. it works perfectly.

 

Well for now since I don't have the 89 cluster hood, I switched cluster brackets by using the 89 one and it bolted on perfect. The 90-91 cluster hood still fits but obviously theres gaps within the cluster and hood. so I just need the hood..
