I bought a 94 ZJ V8 as a donor for my MJ. The cluster is too big to fit in the stock XJ opening. I do not want to do another 97+ conversion on this truck. I just recently finished one. While it looks cool I want to retain the old school look with the updated electronics and 5.2 powertrain.
I know the ZJ has one big plug on the back of the cluster (24 pins or so) to run everything from the gauges, speedo, and warning lights. Is there an XJ cluster that I can tear apart and fit the ZJ gauges into? The main thing is the XJ would have to be OBD-I, I think, to not have a speedo cable.
I seem to remember that the 95 or 96 XJ was a switch over year to OBD-II. If an HO model cluster does not have the speedo cable I might be able to work with it.
Also, do all XJ clusters have two plug locations on the back. One for the gauges and the other for the warning lights located on the left side. I know the one out of the MJ (86 model) has two plugs or was it switched later on to a single plug unit?
Pics of the back of the clusters would be a huge help if you have them.
