Bulbs are on their way...and if you have a flashlight, you can shine it on the cluster and see what the display is.

alright well i moved around bulbs and they still were not showing up right. but im wondering if it could be the connection problem with the current running through each bulb. and having one missing is messing it up but i dont know the guy who had it did not take car of the car at all. and with how much water was inside the car i would not doubt that its just a bad cluster if the bulbs dont work and the person on here doesnt get back to me about a cluster then i will get the one on ebay.

it was listed for like $40 a while ago its been on there for months, i did email them one time about it to see if they had the wire harness too. i was thinking about picking it up just to have it laying around but its a few hour drive from me and not really worth it unless they would ship it to me, and not knowing if it works is the killer too.

I know mine did work, when i first bought my 88 beretta it was the first beretta i ever owned, i bought a 89 gt rotted out for some parts and i took the cluster but back then i didnt stop to think the harness would be different or think that i would eventually put it in my car.

I did have it wired up from looking at wire diagrams and made my own wire connectors for it but i could never get the spedo and tach and amp gauge to work, everything else worked and lit up though. so who knows maybe if they sit around and get banged around ect it could mess them up, i dont know. its kinda a gamble, but for $20 bucks its a cheap gamble.

yeah its not a bad price but shipping or gas to get it would be the hard part. shipping on a part like that will be crazy. but i may have found someone close that would be able to fix it. he came in while i was working yesterday and was asking me about my indy. he said he has alot of parts and i told him to keep a look out for a digi cluster. and he said he could fix it. just waiting for the bulbs to arrive that ronaconda sent so if the bulb dont help make it to work i will call this guy and have him fix it.

I can fix those cluster and changes colors too, put LEDs in... Same with all the lights in and around the car.
Been doing that since my first beretta gt in 88.

The oil, volt and rpm comes from the ECM, what I found so far is if the car was not with a digital cluster, even if you do find the right wire harness, the prom has to be reprogrammed in the ECM.

Unless someone finds another solution.

I connected the data line from the obd1 connector to the serial data input of the cluster... Nothing, of course I have a quad4, the digital cluster where found mostly in the 2.8 and 3.1

You should make a post about how you modified the cluster, and are using it with a 2.3. People would be interested in that, as it will just end up getting buried here in wanted.
