#1 of 3 Cavalier Instrument Cluster Swap by sparky2888 Aug 28, 2008 (7:17 pm)
Does anybody know how hard it would be to upgrade the instrument cluster in my 99 2.2L Cavy to a newer style out of a later year cavy? It's an automatic but it would be nice to have a tach just for the heck of it. Replies to this message: sparky2888 (Oct 16, 2008 9:50 pm) mikeh1956 (Oct 22, 2009 3:00 am)

Now I just have to splice the newer connector into the old for the cluster but I'm having trouble locating the wiring diagram for the 2000-2005 cavaliers. I may just wait and change out the entire wiring harness when I do the ecotec swap unless anyone has the wiring diagram for this style car. Replies to this message: mikeh1956 (Oct 22, 2009 3:00 am)

This is what i was told from a guy that rebuild salvage title cavaliers and sunbirds
