What's this thing on the back of my new cluster?

[Racer X]

I picked up a new cluster since my Tach is off a bit, and my speedo isn't accurate above 100, which is necessary for my trips to Mexico.

However, there's an extra module on this one that isn't on the one that's in my car. If someone could tell me what it is, I'd appreciate it.

It's a ludicrous speed indicator. Redline it and you've gone plaid.

Bump... because I still don't know what it is.

unplug it, and see what doesn't work anymore

If I had to just pull something out of my @$$, i would say it has something to do with the shift light / RPM speed; maybe this one came from an ATX, which needs extra special circuitry? Just throwing out ideas, i can't think of what else would be different between SHO's.

thats was my thought...did this come out of an ATX car???

I think it did come out of an ATX. Could possibly have something to do with the O/D indicator?

That was one funny movie...
"comb the desert for them!!!"
sorry, dont know what that could be either.... But my guess is the O/D as well.

I checked some wiring schematics, and the best I can tell is that it's a dimmer module for some of the warning lamps on the 93 - 95 clusters. My 92 cluster doesn't have that module.

 

[Redskull]

why would anybody want thier warning lamps dimmed? IMHO, if something is wrong with the engine, the bulbs can't get bright enough.

Implanted by the FBI , so if Robocop went crazy , they could know where he was at.



Seriously , i have no idea......Dimmer?
