is it possible for me to take out my digital odometer cluster and replace it with a cluster with a mecanical counter type cluster and have it still just be plug and play?
the vehicle is a 98 sunfire with digital odo, and i have not gotten the mecanical cluster yet so... Which ever one will work i guess
98-99 plug and play digi odom. 95-97 mechanical plug and play. 00-05 plug and play
so im stuck with the digital then???

Not so fast, I went from the digital to the mechanical and it works. Fuel gauge is the only thing that doesn't for some strange reason.

so what you're saying is... it doesnt really work. working gauges > not working swapped gauges.

That's weird. On my 97 with no ECU the fuel gauge works though it floats around quite a bit when you speed up/slow down. However, none of the other gauges work without the ECU.

The fuel gauge is fed from the level sensor in the tank directly... not interpreted through the PCM. So it makes sense that the fuel gauge would work without a PCM.
The level sender changed between 98 and 99 model years... up to and including 98 was the standard GM 0-90 ohms (0 ohms empty, 90 ohms full). 99+ are the newer 40-240 ohms style (40 empty, 240 full).

^^^ That doesn't surprise me John. I looked at fuel pumps on Advance or Autozone and found different part numbers depending on year, which would probably correspond to the fuel level sender since it's a one piece deal.
