Hi I get this and understand it but not real clear on pinout numbering. I connected this Fairmont cluster today to my 1/2000 AU1 Falcon and noticed it mostly works > revs, speed, left blinker, volt, so on. what didn't work. turn parkers on and cluster lights turn off instead of dimming, right blinker and abs don't show. I believe this 4 wires will fix my problem. pity DTE is not in this new cluster as I like to view that option. Anyway 3 more gauges are better then DTE so I will live with out it. Before I start cutting wires and making changes I would like a little more info please. What is the pinout numbering to start with. Another thing, oil light stays on and needle doesn't move. do I need to buy a pressure oil switch? Thanks |

Okay so I found the PIN layout order swapped the 4 wires around
everything worked like I had hoped but came across a new problem not mentioned on the board anywhere. What was happening was when I start the car everything looked fine until I needed to put the lights on. With Parkers the Odometer light would go out. The pin layout is as follows in the following image. ![]() I had to do a lot of meter testing to find my answer on the next problem. The Od lights going out with parkers on is a earthing problem from pin 15 on the 2nd connector. I found by jumping the wire from 13 to 1 fixed the lighting problem with Od not lighting up with Parkers. As I don't know if the white wire on pin 15 serves any other purpose I thought it would be a better idea to put a Diode between 15 and 1 to allow power pass one way with Parker lights on. This works perfectly. ![]() The following images shows the finished project ![]() ![]() |

Hi Mate, this is the best I can offer. Wiring says nothing about stereo being connected to the cluster http://www.fordmods.com/ford-technic...ter-upgrade-d4
My only guess is the cluster wires are for dimming the stereo lights. This is images of my old cluster, it's nothing great but maybe it will help. http://oi63.tinypic.com/s5bf5y.jpg http://oi64.tinypic.com/vbyud.jpg http://oi67.tinypic.com/spw0hs.jpg http://oi65.tinypic.com/dxidfq.jpg |

Is it possible for me to retrofit an AUI sender to my AUII Fairlane and get a "proper" gauge or not? |

Cheers to the bloke that posted pictures and all the info for the wires for the cluster upgrade, you saved me heaps of time!!
So ive put a series 3 fairmont cluster in my series 2 ute. Everything works except for when i turn the car off and the lights are on, it doesnt make the warning noise like the standard low series cluster did. Anyone else had this problem? |

Thanks. This was very helpful. I have got my S3 XR dash now working in my S3 Forte.
Just did the odo light fix. Only problem I had, was when I did the wiring to get the odo back light working, ended up activating the Smartshield. Couldn't start it. Not sure why. Pretty sure I followed the instructions. Maybe coincidental. I have snipped out the odo light wiring and had a locksmith reset BEM. On the bright side, I now have a spare key. |
