Another Instrument Cluster Question #770213 12/07/06 04:59 AM

Getting the Wheeling Fever
Can anyone tell me if the 94 Toyota Pick Up DLX and the 94 4 Runner SR5 have the same wiring harness arangement at the instrunent cluster? I have the pick up manuals but nothing from the 4 Runner to compare it to!! Otherwise I'm wanting to replace my instrument panel without tach and gauges with one from a 4 Runner SR5 same year, both 4X4 and automatic. Pretty sure I'll have to run the tach wire and know about the changing the oil pressure sending unit but was wondering if there would be any other surprises. Could find nothing in the search about the later model swaps!

On my 90 the tach wire was already there. I cut it loose from the connector and used it to fire my aftermarket tach. Worked fine until I must have pulled it apart in the dash. To get to it I have to take the cage out so I rewired it to the tach test connector under the hood.

I have a 92 4x4 dlx and recently put a instrument cluster from a SR5 as I wanted the tach and guages. I bought one from a 92 that had the v6 even though mine has the 4 cyl. It bolted right in and having bought a oil pressure sending unit all the guages worked great! All the wiring was set for the tach, volts and all the lights. The only caution I know of is to buy the oil pressure sending unit as if you hook up the cluster with the oil pressure gauge it will burn out the gauge so you must disconnect the pressure wire before installing the new cluster.
Enjoy.
