VS Autometer dash cluster upgrade

Post by w1r3d »

Hi
I am upgrading my L3 dash cluster in my VS to Autometer gauges.
As I don't have a manual for my ute I am not 100% sure on the wiring.
Below are the gauges I am installing all are Ultra Lite series 2 gauges
3-3/8" TACH, 10,000 RPM, IN-DASH Product # 4997
3-3/8" SPEEDO, 190 KPH, ELEC, ULTRA-LITE Product # 4487-M
2-1/16" WATER TEMP, 100- 260`F, FSE Product # 4955
2-1/16" VOLTMETER, 8-18V FSE, ULTRA-LITE II Product # 4991
2-1/16" FUEL LEVEL, UNIVERSAL STEPPER, UL II Product # 4910
2-1/16" OIL PRESS, 0-100 PSI, FSE Product # 4953

The voltmeter, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp and Tacho are the easy ones
I understand that the fuel gauge will work and give me a good reserve amount.
Speedo I am not too sure on, I may even use the Autometer gps speedo unit.
The part that I am really unsure about are the indicator lights and warning lights.
Does any one have access to a VS manual which shows clearly what connector has the warning lights on them?
I think I would only need the below lights -
Battery
High beam
hand brake
oil
Any help is greatly appreciated

the back of the cluster should have the layout of whats in the three plugs which should answer most of it for you.....

the speedo, as long as its calibratable and electric sender type should work fine.

There is a wire on connector 2 that is fuel.
Would this be the warning light or the fuel level?
Or does the dash cluster calculate and provide power for the low fuel warning light..

Low warning is done by the cluster
