Swapping instrument clusters

[Dedeleko]

Hey,

At the moment I've got this instrument cluster fitted:

And I'd like this one fitted:

My current one however, has got 4 plugs on the back, each with 10 pins where the new one's got 2 plugs, 1 with 30 pins and one with 15. The new one's also got the STOP and SERV lights and an oil checker, which mine all hasn't.
Is there any way to fit the one with the 2 plugs? Remove all the pins from my 4 plugs and put them on the designated spots in the 2 plugs? I've got both diagrams. But would that work?

Right, picked up a new set of clocks today (white ones even!) and started on the job. The problem I encountered however, is the pins used for both types of clocks are different. The ones I have now is this big lumpy type whereas the other one is a small pin. Thoughts on how to fix this? The only solution I can think of is cutting every wire inside my car and connect them with the wires from the scrapper. That, however, is a long, boring job which in the end might not even pay off in a non functioning panel.

Any thoughts??

Alright, I've managed to fix it the way I mentioned earlier. It's all working perfectly!
Except, the ABS, brake and STOP and SERV lights are on. I don't have ABS so my guess is the fault is somewhere in there causing the brakelight to come on and the STOP and SERV lights. Anyone knows how to get the ABS light to turn off?

Never seen the first cluster. The second looks like a mk2 ph1 with black coloured dials and trim. Show some pics of the plugs and connections and you may get an answer quicker

I think it passes ABS information via Pin 14 on the smaller connector, I can't remember whether it's a proper data stream or just earthing/powering it.

If no signal is present, then ABS, Serv and Stop come on.

Hey, thanks. I used this diagram for the rewiring, and indeed its pin 14 on the small red connector. I also tried taking the pin out and holding it to an earth (i think lol) but to no avail. Does the ABS light also cause the handbrake light to come on?

 

[McGherkin]

Yes, I think.

Ok, so do you think it would work if I just add another wire to the ABS wire and earth that one? I have no clue why the ABS light would be on. As far as I know, I've connected everything the way I should. I think..
