cluster straight answer 900 1993

Hi Brickboarders,
just after a straight simple answer to an old old question.

Diagnosing a speedo fault on my 1993 Wentworth 2.0 turbo manual estate.

What happens does/doesnt work if I fit a spare instrument cluster from my old 1992 SE 2.0 turbo auto estate.
The clusters are different and I seem to remember last time I considered it that there was an extra connector on the 1993 cluster. I also remember the fuel gauge being in some way different.

What I need to know is can I slot the 1992 one in and drive about a bit so's I can diagnose either a dud speedo or a dud diff sensor without ripping the car to bits and what features will be absent.

I'm running a £20 gps hud on it at the moment but still want to keep my Volvo working as Odin intended.


regards
pierso

      many thanks spook,
      1992 and 1993 seem to be very different. Piggy backed a wire onto the green and white signal wire behind the cluster and got a fluctuating (rising) voltage reading as I drove down the road, so assume signal is good and speedo is duff. Trying to get into the cluster now to see if anything obvious is amiss. Proving a bit of a challenge.

      regards
