I put in the "new" instrument cluster yesterday and everything on the
cluster seems to be working fine. The speedo fits perfectly. It is
really nice to have a tach. Now I can see what those sounds coming
from the back of the van mean. The only thing is now my headlights
don't work. The switch turns on all the other lights except for the
headlights. I haven't had a chance to find the problem though.
