Ben, don't forget VSS in, and VSS out - VSS out goes to the ECU, and will also go to the EF/EL cruise when it's fitted.

Has this fixed the issue you were having ??

I have the VSS coming in to the Cluster, but have decided not to run it to the ECU as the ECU is receiving the VSS directly. snap0964 wrote: I'm betting it's a fairmont cluster - see http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=14 "Adding the LCD dimming resistor".

I have the resistor here and will add this in. However the doco states that the LCD should light up without the Park lights on, and you add the resistor for the LCD to work with the Park lights on. As my car has no function for LCD dimming at all, I believe I will need to connect Pin 17 RHS (LCD Positive Illumination) to the Park lights wire and Pin 16 RHS (LCD Negative Illumination) to earth.

It is in now, and have been driving around with it in all day. I want to secure it a bit more, but it should be in for the cruise on Saturday. I look forward to seeing how you went with the fuel flap mod. I got the Oil Pressure Sender from an EF Fairmont this morning. Am waiting for the car to cool down before I try to change it. BenJ

f**k ben awsome mod mate. your car is now getting very uniqe now. You know what would set it off...is a ED XR front end
 and i happen to be selling one

lol, since seeing the comment here about fuel flap mods.. I've been searching for more info..
Where have you detailed your efforts Troyman/BenJ ??? |

Only in our heads and in conversation. If it works out one of us, probably Troyman will post up details. OK, it seems the Oil Pressure Sender I got off the EF Fairmont is actualy an Oil Pressure Switch. I am quite confused now as to what is what. I will go to ford and ask to see them both so I know WTF I am dealing with. LOL. BenJ

Funnily enough the other day I was looking at an EA ghia cluster I had, and whether an EF/EL board would fit in it. I'm a bit surprised how good the EF/EL cluster fits on it's own, seeing the EA one I have has a square LHS, but the RHS top is curved.
Actually, there's no reason now why an NF/NL cluster can't be fitted to an EA-ED. Benj wrote: Correct it is a fairmont cluster. I have the resistor here and will add this in. However the doco states that the LCD should light up without the Park lights on, and you add the resistor for the LCD to work with the Park lights on. As my car has no function for LCD dimming at all, I believe I will need to connect Pin 17 RHS (LCD Positive Illumination) to the Park lights wire and Pin 16 RHS (LCD Negative Illumination) to earth. Opinions? You'll find the odo will only light up when parkers are on with that configuration.
Pin 17 RHS plug is ign 12v - so odo gets power during ign. Pin 16 RHS plug this can splice to the blue/red line, LHS plug pin 4 (try this with a temp jumper lead first). The resistor is used as a path to earth when parkers are on, as the odo globe has voltage both sides - hence why the odo goes out when parkers are on.

Sorry if this have been covered but why is the oil pressure gauge reading full bore?

has the oil pressure switch still in it, so it only reads as on or off. Needs an oil pressure sender to control the gauge correctly.
