Topic: cluster identification?

[drabnor]

can any of you gurus help identify this cluster?



it's in my 86 turbo 4runner automatic, obviously its not the correct turbo cluster, just need to id it so I can get the correct wiring diagram to get the gauges and warning lights working correctly

TIA!

It is post 85 and pre 90, that's about all I know. I would wager an 88 or 89.

Thank BigMike! That narrows it down...

why is it not a turbo? doesn't some of the clusters just have a turbo light? by the way, that looks just like my 87 without the auto thing. mine has a charge.

no turbo light in this cluster, not that it is of much use, I have a boost gauge. The only gauges in the cluster that work are the tach and speedometer, PO did a HACK job on the cluster so my 4wd light is my auto temp light, charge light is on but the alt is charging, gas level/coolant temp/oil pressure gauges doesn't work etc...

It is out of an auto truck or runner.  86-88 I think.  And if the wires and harness behind the gauges are still OK then just look for a new cluster.  With the gauges that don't work, test them with a meter to see if you are even getting power to them.  Sometimes the wires are just loose in the harness or hell not even plugged in.

86 didn't have ECT or automatic transmission normal/power indicator

thats the problem, the PO hacked the wires behind the cluster, I think I have the correct diagram for the wire colors but need to know where to put them in the cluster harness(the pins move around depending on years)

[SFD4x4]

Pull the cluster out and look at where the wires run to in the cluster.  Its really not that hard to track down what pin goes to what light/gauge.  Agreed, a wiring diagram makes it easier, but it is not impossible without it.

[BigMike]

SFD4x4 is correct. Even if the circuit sheet doesn't label everything and you can't read the Japanese hiragana and katakana symbols, you can examine where each bulb or gauge lead starts at and then trace each circuit to the plug.

Look like to me is a 85 sr5 runner a/t! My buddy got one in his stock 85 sr5 runner a/t!

A 1985 should have the grid lines on it, both horizontal and vertical lines. This one only has the horizontal lines.
