It will not plug straight in at all. There was a seller on Ebay selling a pre made adaptor loom, but can't seem to find it right now. Was approx $50 from memory. Re the switches with the broken tabs, I really can't envisage how you could keep them in place considering the tight tolerances around the door catch. Cheers BenJ isnt wasnt one of the four plugs the same? |

Yes, but the std cluster has two plugs, and only one is the same. You need to build an adaptor loom for the 2nd and 3rd plugs, as well as a loom for the 4th if you want to enable the blown bulb function.

Cool cheers Ben...
The right hand one is yes... The left hand one which does some lights and gauges is split in two so you need to adapt the one plug into two smaller ones to go into the left hand side of the cluster... One of the two is the door ajar stuff... The other is similar to your left hand connector but has less pins... Yours is 16 and the NF/NL is 12 or something like that.... physically wont fit... Hence the patch harness that is required... Cheers, Tim

That is essentially making your adaptor loom, so yes, but you would need two plugs as if you don't add resistors to the door ajar wiring, they will flap at you all the time.
Cheers BenJ

Yeah you could... Or do what I do and get the NF/NL plugs (may as well get all 4)... And get an old crappy fairmont cluster... Unsolder the two plugs... And then wire them to the NF/NL plugs so you have a patch harness and this way you can easily unplug it and return it to factory or transfer to another car if need be... NF/NL dash plugs aren't the most common thing to find...
Be sure to double check the right hand one pins too... Again pin out info is all in the resources tab in the navi bar under the tech docs section and scroll down to EF/EL...  I did it here... You can see the NF/NL plugs in the bottom of the cluster... All 3 of them... The black plugs on the back are EA-ED plugs and I screwed them to a similar spot to where they were on the EA cluster I destroyed... The white plug under them is the other stuff I need to pick up to make it work... Including the smart lock light, the tacho, and the data line... All of which are in your two plugs but because this is an ED I needed to pick these up from other plugs around the car... This way I unplug my NL cluster and an ED plugs straight back in... Cheers, Tim

Cheers BenJ so theres no way of turning off door adjar? Nope, you need to either have it connected, or solder in the correct expected resistor value so that the cluster believes it is connected. Cheers BenJ

See the loom pulled across the bottom of the cluster above with the black wire out... In the tape is the resistors and then the black wire is earthed inside the cluster... Sooner or later I will get around to putting the switches in doors...

I put in resistors to show all doors closed and fuel flap and boot closed...
Everything I need works... Stuff that doesn't is: The gear indicator in the middle (I have a manual so it is blacked out) The self leveling suss warning lamp (I don't have it) The fog light lamp (I don't have any) The ABS lamp (I don't have it) The airbag lamp (I don't have any) Pretty sure every other lamp works as intended... Only one I haven't tested is the brake fail lamp... Issues I have is that I need to change the oil pressure sender because the ED one is different to the EF/EL one... Need to wire in door ajar stuff... Need to get rid of my trip computer or modify the system to work with it as I have range issue on the trip computer (another ED - EL compatibility issue)... But as far as you're concerned you wont have the issues I am yet to nut out... Cheers, Tim

My sony head unit supports wired remote input and then I have a PAC unit in line which modifies the BA radio button signal I have to Sony signal to operate the head unit... Cheers, Tim
