Subject:      cluster swap problem

Hello,


I am trying to swap a cluster with the tach from a 1985 van into my 1982
air cooled westy.  I am following the instruction graciously provided by
Jim Thompson from Old Volks Home
(http://www.oldvolkshome.com/late_van_cluster_install.pdf).


I am having two problems.  First, when I turn on the lights the tack drops
to zero.  The PDF suggests this problem is linked to a bad ground on the
#3 pin.  I have wired a fresh new ground to this pin and the problem
persists.  Any ideas?


Second problem is that the coolant temp light stays illuminated.  Pin #6
provides the signal from the temp sensor, but this pin is now empty in my
air cooled van.  Is there a way to get that light to go out?  Maybe run a
ground to #6?


Thanks,
Jake
