Ok to start off i have a contour made in 01/98 and its the LX (i know its ghetto), It also has no tach. So i bought some svt gauges off ebay. The gauges i bought have the two standard wiring harness connections on back, but it also has four extra wires i have no clue what to do it. So first i just threw the new cluster in there and the tach,fuel gauge appear to be right. the temp sensor doesnt work, but thats becuase my sending unit is bad. Anyways, from reading issues from other posts, i followed someone through my residential neighborhood and it said i was doing 60ish. So, what can i do to make speedo correct (if i dont have to buy a new one), and what do i do with these four wires? The new svt speedo its hard to read since the sticker is faded but it looks like it was made in march '08.
I know someone mentioned somehting about
"This really needs to be made a sticky because there is too much confusion about gauge cluster installs.
For installing SVT gauges in a 95-98 (not 98.5), it requires that you use a 98 SVT cluster (not 98.5-00).
For installing SVT gauges in a 98.5-00, it requires that you use a 98.5-00 SVT cluster.
TIP : 98 clusters will say NORMAL across the temp. gauge. 98.5-00 clusters will not say anything. Also, the Brake light and ABS light are in opposite positions. "
any unfortunitly the gauges i bought dont have normal across the temp gauge, so will i have to buy new ones?
