AK-Z Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 (280zx)Who has had their digital dash removed? I have one and the jaguar gear to have it read mph in kmph. I need to know what the dash hook up to directly. Does it connect to a power regulator module like the 300zx version? I have the warning module and the voice module also.

DCZ Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 AK-Z, I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but I just pulled the dash out of my 83 ZXT and could take pics of the back of the digital gauge assy if it would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 Yes that would help tremendously. What I need are the Colors of the wires coming from the plugs that attach to it. From looking at mine, I see a black 12 pin (2x6) plug and a pigtailed 10 pin (2x5) plug. Reason why I asked if it hooked up to anything like a "computer" of some sort or something that I didn't have, to have the dash working properly is because I only have the dash (dash), the voice warning module (little black box 2x10 plug), the warning module (stamped sheet metal box two 2x5 plugs) right now. The 300zx version had to have a power modulae and the proper ecu in order for the dash to work. I don't think I need the 2x5 plug becaus I know thats just for the little status lights. If you can, can you get me the colors of the wires leading to the 2 other modules (pictures)? thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCZ Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hey AK-Z, Just a quick note to let you know I haven't forgotten. Well . . . I DID forget yesterday WHEN I WAS RIGHT THERE IN THE GARAGE!!! Anyway, I'll try to remember today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 no prob. The dash is one of the only thing I can work on right now because my car is under like 1 1/2 feet of snow. No rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCZ Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 OK, Here is a pic of the back of the drivers side dash. And three closeups going left to right The black 12 pin connector has YW YL NC GB B GW across the top and BR RL G Y YL Y across the bottom. Y=YELLOW W=WHITE NC=NO CONTACT G=GREEN B=BLACK L=BLUE R=RED There is a 10 pin white connector on the left and a 10 pin black in the middle. If you can't see them clearly enough let me know.

AK-Z Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thanx. The one I need to see the wire out for is the small blask 10 pin plug in the center of this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCZ Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 That small black connector in the center of that pic is a 12 pin and is the one I listed above - YW YL NC GB B GW across the top and BR RL G Y YL Y across the bottom (left to right). Funny, that left-most bottom wire looks brown in the pic but my notes say black/red. I can doublecheck if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Oh okay thanx. I just saw picture and thought ooh don't need to read lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Okay DCZ have you swap to analogs? Did you have to connect wires to different color wires or were they connected to the same colors? I have schematics but they tell me nothing about the dash wiring.

DCZ Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Sorry, I don't know anything about swapping to analog. I pulled the dash out of my drivetrain donor for my s30 turbo swap because I was having trouble figuring out where the fuel pump and ignition relay wiring went. Nissan was pretty good about making things modular so my guess is that it will plug right in with maybe one or two small changes - of course figuring out the small changes will drive you crazy!
