Another Gauge swap question
Monday, August 03, 2009 9:03 PM
Ok I know I'm going to ragged on for asking these questions But I want to put a 2000+ cluster
in my 98 cavalier I have no tach but have the dig odo trip and have sending unit from 2001 with new pump
came from buddy. What things do I need to do so I can do this swap? And yes I have looked at almost all
posts about swaps from 95-99 cav's and sunfire's and swaps from cav to sunfire. There is not much info
on the swap I want any help would be great if it can't be done then I will be making custom dash with gauges I want

You need to completely re-wire the car as a 2000+. 2000+ clusters need to communicate with the BCM which is only in 2000+ Js.

just get a 98-99 z24 cluster with tach and as long as it has a digi odom you can use it thats what i did in my 99.

follow this procedure:

Seriously, this is the way to get around it, the theftlock must be reprogrammed, and this is how:
1. Start the car and let it die. The theftlock light will be on, DO NOT TURN THE KEY OFF, OR OPEN ANY DOORS, OR TURN ON ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. Just fold your hands under your arms and wait 10-15 minutes...
2. After the car stalls, the theftlock light will blink. wait until it stops blinking.
3. Wait 1 minute after it stops blinking.
4. Turn the key to off, wait 10 seconds, then start the car again.
You may have to do this 3 times for it to work correctly.

I know the theft lock procedure I had to do it twice in my 98 old's when I changed the ign switch
Thank you guys for the fast reply's I thought it would be nice to have the 2000+ gauges they just seem
to look better to me then the old stuff. So I can run a 99 cluster with a tach can it be from a 5 speed as mine is auto?

Yes, you just won't have the gear indicator below the speedo
