Not a problem mate. I did a dash conversion a while back from the digi to the 6 gauge analog and wrote down the colors then. They were slightly different but I think the colors will match for the signals.

Ok, digging in the glove box this is what I got,

Image

The bible :D. second color is the stripe.

Blue-white = 4WD dash light (x2 because its an isolated loop)

Blue = Choke dash light

Red-white = Hibeam dash light

Red = Hibeam return line (Isolated GND for the hibeam dash light)

Yellow-blue = parking brake dash light

Black-white = Ignition

black = GND (multiple of this wire)

Blue-black = Left rear door dash light

Green-yellow = Left front door dash light

Green-black = Right front door dash light

Blue-pink = Right rear door dash light

Green-pink = turn right blinker dash light

Green-blue = turn left blinker dash light

Yellow-black = AT fluid dash light

Yellow-black stripe (different to the other yellow-black, thin stripe) = engine oil dash light

White-black = brake fluid dash light

Red-blue = cluster lights negative

Red = cluster lights positive (? donno about this, could be because it comes from a different plug or something.....bit vague, sorry :( )

Thats all I have listed. Ive since recrimped my own wires into the round cluster plugs so I cannot really comment on the other wires. Hope this helps you get started.

Here are some of the plugs that come out under the dash If it helps. I still need to pin out the wiper plug.

Regards

Doug

I don't remember swapping anything when I did a dash conversion.

The only thing "left" to work out is the 4wd lights - Doug, do you know if the 6 gauge cluster has the lights for hi/lo 4wd?

Yep - you should see it in the lower 1/3 of center indicators :

Note : that would be the diagram on far right for analogue ...

I swapped from the digi to the analog and they were quite different. I believe the digi had 3 round socket plugs on the back where the analog one only has two.

No, no "lo" light because it came out of a 3AT. As shown in Bantum's pic the AT model has an oil temp light instead.

Doh - sorry forgot that you had the 3AT ... :(

If you really want the 'lo' indicator, you could swap it over & change the graphics on the lens ... :)

Benny,
Bantum's diagram is correct for an 'MY' touring wagon, however if you source the analogue sports dash from a coupe or sedan

(which are still hard but easier to find) then the lower 1/3 section of the dash lights (below beam) is actually blacked over on the

covering lens, where 4wd and lo should be, plus there are no coloured lenses underneath, nor illumination bulbs or wires running to

the dash plug from the 4wd gear lever or gearbox low, respectively.

I appreciate this thread has deviated away from SubyDoug's nice work on his wagon, (sorry SubyDoug) so if anyone is interested

in a thread on how I've just modded my sports dash to incorporate 4wd/lo,
let me know and I will start one.

Cheers, John
