this is the area the trans temp gauge should occupy and the area we will be working in
a closer look
flip the board over and unsolder theses 4 areas
after unsoldering the areas install the new instrument cluster stepper motor (it can only go in one way) and solder the 4 connections
the front with the newly installed stepper motor
*now reassemble the gauge cluster with your new gauge overlay but leave off the needles and front plastic
*take the gauge cluster and plug it back into the truck and start it (staring it zeros out all the stepper motors) and let it run for 20 secs then shut it down.
*remove cluster and install all the needles at zero being very very careful not to twist then when pushing them into place(if you twist them you will not have a celebrated gauge and you will need to repeat the previous step)
*reinstall the gauge in the truck and start it up, if all the gauges are in the correct places then congrats your done the hardest part
the last thing your going to need to do (if you buy the same gauge overlay as i did) is put a small hole in it for one of the pins on the front cover
the finished cluster ready to be reinstalled
this is as fair as i got because it got dark and cold out and i didn't want to do anymore, i will re install tomorrow and test
