josh_hartman · 17-02-2007, 09:05 PM

Why wont a S2 or 3 cluster work in a S1. are the plugs different or what? i really want to attemt it. any help would be great

Pull it out and have a go then you will be the person on here that knows, sometimes its hard to get good advice and its better to just try things sometimes

JefXR8 · 17-02-2007, 09:27 PM

i know a series 1 wont work in a series 2 so it would be vice versa,aparently you need to cut some wires or something.

AUXRVIII · 17-02-2007, 09:27 PM

They are wired differently, which parts dont work?

bodes-sh · 17-02-2007, 09:55 PM

give this link a go and maybe pm russelw as well to see if he has got a wiring diagram for a s1, as these appear to be for a s2

302XLS · 10-03-2007, 04:14 AM

damn, I just bought a s2 cluster off ebay and i have a s1. guess i'll be letting you know if it works or not.

It will work after you we wire it

302XLS · 10-03-2007, 06:23 PM

only problem, Don't know how to re wire it. When it arrives might need some help or advice. will ask when i get the darned thing. lol.

au2sw · 10-03-2007, 06:40 PM

thats what we're here for, always advice to be found, whether its good or bad advice im still yet to find out:P seriously, try looking through some of the tech articles, there are a few different wiring diagrams in there, you may find what your looking for, if not, take notes on what you do and post it up so we can all see how you go and offer hints, tips and advice as you go. i think thats the best possible way to do this.

Just do a search for cluster - there's been a few questions about these lately, and plenty of info. One thread has a link to fordmods which details what wires need to be changed between low and high series cars, but not too sure if it covers AU1 TO AU2 - I doubt it would, as the change to clusters between series is far greater than the low/high in the same series.

WOW, just put in the new XR S2 cluster in My AU S1 ute and works with no problems. No wire cutting no adjustments, nothing. Works perfectly......

I doubt it. There will be something that doesn't work. eg i think you'll find when you pull your handbrake on, the TC light lights up, or the brsake fail light - not the park brake light. There are a few other differences too, mostly in the warning lights rtaher than anything else.

302XLS · 14-03-2007, 10:38 PM

well everything worked while i was driving, if there's a warning light that isn't working guess i won't find out till too late......

makes you wonder why Ford actually did, this seems really wierd to me

What? Why they upgraded the cluster? There were extra features in AU2 that AU1 didnt get on some models (TC, for instance). Also they deleted the low coolant warning on some models in AU2, that AU1 did get,so no need for a wraning light for that one. There are always running improvements so the instruments and warning lamps are upgraded/changed as required. Imagine if they weren't - we'd all be using Model T instruments (none!?)

Up to 29/02/00 AU1 XR Cluster AU10849D

from 01/03/2000 XR Cluster TAU210849A

Have not been able to find out exactly the difference, Sorry

JC · 16-03-2007, 01:07 AM

I have both clusters and the differences are enough for me to continue on with the au1 version.

302XLS · 29-03-2007, 06:46 PM

ok, quick update. After driving at night and finding that i didn't have any lights in the cluster working and the right turn signal didn't work, i went to a place called gauge works and they re-wired it for $57.00 G.S.T. inclusive. Not too bad i'd say.

Pretty damn good price. So does everything that should work, work now?

302XLS · 29-03-2007, 08:24 PM

yep all working as it should. The place deals with all sorts of performance modifications.

: so i just found another great place to get stuff done on the ute at great prices..

NC1183 · 29-03-2007, 09:19 PM

Does anyone have the part numbers of the AUI low series cluster and the AUII low series cluster.

FGII-XR6 · 19-04-2007, 12:12 AM

the isuue is with high or mid series 1 in a series 2 or 3 low series the radio volume will go up to max in a few seconds (ouch)
