Instrument cluster swapout help

[JudgeM]

Thanks for the pics and pointers CTscott.

I had a look and I think I did find the temp sensor. A bit hard to see thru my grills and under the car I have a cover so impossible to see. I've put a picture in the attachments for confirmation. I will check my AC ecu later on for the wires and I will try to add it to the cluster.

More importantly:

I am losing faith in this project of mine. I double and triple checked my extension wiring and still the wrong indicators are lighting up. I even directly connected it to the connector (with great difficulty) and still same problem.

Furthermore, this meter just wont stop beeping. I have a feeling its from a multimatic/auto transmission car and is sad that the transmission is missing. I will confirm this with the seller.

I am seriously considering buying another meter but this time guaranteed from a manual transmission car. I'll try to return the old meter if not, I will just keep it and play around with it for another project.

So can anyone advise on how I can stop the beeping, errors and incorrect indicators ?

An update, with my fumbling around on Techstream, I managed to change the units of the fuel consumption calculator !

Regards,

It may be the Asian market cars are different wiring-wise than the Japanese cars. I have never been able to track down the wiring diagrams specific to that market, so it very well may be that some of those wires are in different positions on your car. I would hold off on purchasing another cluster until we can confirm the wiring. It would probably be best for you to talk to you local Toyota dealer to see how you can acquire them.

Did you eventually have any luck with this?

I've just done the reverse of the swap that you did (digital to analog), and have a similar issue.

I also had to cut and extend the wires to just one of the plugs (the opposite site had enough slack to reach), and I'm pretty sure I've joined everything correctly.

The battery icon stays illuminated, and flashes when the indicator / turn signal is on. Other than that, everything else on the cluster seems to be working perfectly.

Any pointers would be appreciated
