It does make sense. The cluster in general is out of the vehicle and is what I was looking to Identify. But I guess i will find out when I put it in and hook it up following oldvolkshome instructions. The original one is the original 84 as I am second owner and bought it in 98 from the old man himself.

A quick look at my various decrepit clusters, I see copper traces where each pin would connect. Just because your model year Vanagon has a 14 pin connector missing 4 and 12 doesn't mean the cluster you're curious about doesn't use these wires. If that makes sense. Neil.

yup Just found that. The 14 pin doesn't have a wire in 12!!!!!!!!!! also pin 4 is vacant....Thanks Neil! Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:11:28 -0700 Subject: Re: Insturment Cluster From: musomuso@gmail.com To: fittdog8848@hotmail.com CC: vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com
Also noted. Up to '84, pin 1 on 14 pin connector is vacant. On '85 + and '84 Wolfsburg pin 1 is used. The foil on your cluster may have a copper trace going to where pin 1 connects, but if you trace that connector with a VOM, or even a visual trace, this might help determine if it's used or not.
