'00 F-Body Odometer Lighting Pins? Does anyone know which pins power should be applied to for the Odometer backlighting on the 34 pin connector at the gauge cluster?
I have the service manual pin out but can't locate the correct pins. It's not the pins used for the incandescent gauge backlighting as the odometer is lit up whenever the ignition is on. I've physically tried everything with no success.
Reason I want it is I am not very experienced with electronics and I swapped out the LEDs to change the odometer color. If I "hotwire" the two end leads for the series circuit they do light up, but I want to make sure I didn't fry the board with my terribad soldering skills. I have a 12vdc power supply I am using to bench test outside of the car.
Thanks in advance!!
