Instrument cluster plug pins?
Ok so I thought I’d look into my malfunctioning oil pressure and temp gauges in my 93 xjs. I decided to pull the cluster again and clean up the contacts on holes on the printed circuit and the pins or contacts on the wire harnesses. I unplugged them and went to scuff the wire harness contacts up and I noticed that one of the brass contacts was broken and off to the side! I took a piece of metal and bent it to fit and plugged it in. They both seem to be working! However I know that this is a temp fix because I don’t know if the gauges will read correctly with two different types of metal and them basically being laid on top of each other, as in it could effect the resistance causing the gauges to be off. So does anyone have any idea about what the wire harness brass contacts part number might be? Or a possible alternative part that would fit the harness?
