Re: new "special edition VP" gauges troublesshoot ?

well there is no blk/yel wire, so idk about that one. recheck the colors and post back. should be in the format solid/stripe color. i thought maybe you meant yel/blk but that is for the fuel gauge which seems to be working. the wht/red wires (assuming you have it labeled as solid/stripe) are both for fuse 9. in the old wiring, one wire went to the green plug and the other to the blue plug. in the new wiring, you only need one of those wires and only connected to the green plug (it goes next to the yellow wire in the same row, and on the other side there should be a blank). the wht/red wire controls a whole bunch of different things so you need that hooked properly. the blu/red wire is for ABS (which your lx does not have), so to turn the light off i believe you can ground this wire from the gauge connector to the chassis. the srs is pink/blu and that should have been connected if you wired everything correctly. one possible reason the srs light is on may be if you forgot to disconnect the battery before swapping wires, or you turned the car on without the cluster connected. if the wire is installed properly, then you need to try and reset the srs light (not easy, but there is a diy here somewhere).

ah okay, if you have no installed airbags the light will remain on. i am not sure how to bypass that but you could try grounding the srs wire (like with the abs wire). the white/red wire is certainly needed and i would hook one of them to the green plug where i indicated.

Re: new "special edition VP" gauges troublesshoot ?

well it would be whatever the pin is on the diagram. i already posted the colors. so pin them like the diagram says into the new arrangement, then cut the wire from the harness and ground it. so it should go from a ground bolt to the cluster pin. it will turn the light off because it does not get a + power input.
