You do realize that diagram isn't for your car right.....the wiring is different at the cluster for the 90-93 and the 87-89. I do not have the schematic in front of me at the moment.... sorry....

Just bc you have continuity doesn't mean it is a good wire. you need to set the multimeter to the OHMS reading (horse shoe looking symbol) and then check. it should be 5 ohms or less....not 5k...not 5m.... just 5 or less...

yes i understand the whole resistance thing. it was all good. I found another diagram that i was using. Theres a lot of wires and plugs that were left over from the swap, and im not quite sure what the guy did so i think im going to go through everything and take out what doesnt need to be, and rewire what isnt there or is wrong. thanks for the help projectresto

There shouldn't be a whole lot. A few I can see but the body harness is the same between the 4 banger and the 5.0..
