I'm building a street rod truck using older Mopar parts. I have an instrument cluster out of a 97 Plymouth Breeze (I believe). I've spent all morning searching wiring diagrams without success. I even signed up for the Auto Zone wiring diagram thing, it is pretty useless.

I have the connectors and a short, cut off, wire harness for that cluster, but I can't find out what the wires from the two connectors are suppose to connect with. Both connectors have 2 rows of terminal openings, the top rows have 6 openings, and the bottom rows have 7 openings each, with several openings not used. The right (red) connector only has 4 wires in the top row and none in the bottom, the left (blue) connector has 3 wires in the top row, and 6 in the bottom row.

I need to know which wires on the cluster connect to:
1) Speedo electronic input from the sender.
2) Temp gauge sending unit wire
3) Gauge power supply (from the fuse)
4) Fuel gauge sender wire.
5) Low fuel light
6) Left turn indicator
7) right turn indicator
8) High Beam indicator
9) Dash light power
10) Ground

And while I'm asking, I'm using a 91 Dakota chassis and wiring harness (as much as I can). I have an 87 Dakota FSM and it has been very helpful, but the rear wiring harness for the 91 is dramatically different (connectors and wire colors are all different) then the rear harness for the 87. I need a pinout (or the wire colors) for the 91's rear harness connector to connect with:
1) Tail light wire.
2) Left Turn.
3) Right turn.
4) Fuel pump power.
5) Fuel pump ground (if separate from other grounds).
6) Fuel gauge sender wire
7) Low fuel warning light

The truck is a 39 Dodge on a 91 Dakota Chassis. It has a 5.9 Magnum (360 EFI) with the auto out of a 97 Dodge Ram, I have a Hot Wire harness and I'm using the Ram's computer.

Thanks, Gene

That cluster is CAN BUS driven. It will have no separate sender wiring. Think of it as a message sent on a telegraph line. All signals on the same pair of wires.

Well crap. A set of gauges runs about $400. That is going to slow me down. Gene
