996 Gauges

Benjamin, This exactly what I am trying to do. Keep my 986 mother board and digital gauges but use the 996 analog gauges. Just like you my 996 digital gauges were defective. If you still have your original cluster EPROM
files and what you changed I sure could use them. Thanks for the post. Reebuck1@aol.com

996 Gauges

Looks like I made another mistake....received this great suggestion


Hi ,


One thing that jumps out is that due to the read being byte swapped by the programmer the wrong byte has been changed for the voltmeter. This is why the unit is now in KPH, you accidentally changed the byte that controls that function. (BB changed to 01 at x00005006)

I have put it back as it should be, changed the correct byte for the voltmeter and written it to a new file. Try uploading this and see how it functions.

The pressure gauge should be working with this program though, so I do not know why it isn't. Have you checked your wiring and have a known good 996 sender unit installed?

Cheers

I'm on it THANKS !!!

996 gauges

Tried the below suggestion and........IT LIVES.......IT LIVES.....THE BEAST HAS COME TO LIFE!!!!

All gauges appear to be working and car still runs great.

I'll try and give a detailed break down tomorrow.

I want to thank all of you for all the help you have been kind enough to provide.
I obviously would never have figured it out by my self. It is unbelievable all the collective experience that exists on this forum. Great work guys !!!
