Re: Modern instument clusters for Classic 900s? Posted by Saana88 [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Modern instument clusters for Classic 900s?, KB88900T, Sat, 10 Aug 2002 03:39:38 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I believe '92 and later classics had a different gauge cluster with the newer font and backlighting. Find one at a junkyard and pray the connectors are compatible with some minor tweaking.
Then again, I never have a problem with seeing mine. There is a dimmer controlled by the right hand knob on there. If the knob spins and nothing happens, the entire rheostat is loose and needs to be secured. You wouldn't believe how many Saab drivers have no idea what a convenience it is to have separate dimmers for the cluster and console. Me likes. I think Saab did a great job drawing on the aircraft heritage to make the instruments; no complexities or outside temperatures or useless white facings. If you like it that way, talk to the custom guys.
On the other hand, my friend's Caddy lacks a temperature gauge. Der-hey. You don't know your engine is overheating until the "Cylinder Head(s) Warped Beyond Repair" light goes on.
My dash has no cracks and it's fifteen years old. The car is also just starting to rust, which is a story almost unheard of in upstate "salt-o-rama" New York. Most Hondas of the same vintage were structurally deficient years ago. Plus it looks good, if not a little different, which is good.
