I can guarantee you that the ones you have shown plug into the gauge cluster. I've done about 5 R&R of my own cluster in the last 4 months can can tell you this for a fact.

If you hold up your gauge cluster to the dash it's pretty easy to figure out what plugs in where. They pretty much line up with where they plug in and can go in only one spot.

I could understand how you think they are hard to spot, but just try to look for 5 rectangular shapes out of the back of the gauge cluster that is slightly indented and I'm sure you'll see.

not sure from the pic can't see too well but if the driver side clear has three wires going to it and looks alot like the clutch switch, but isn't the one to the clutch switch. i've been wondering what this one is myself. It is not on my other 94 fd just on my 93 (both touring) if i have figured out which one it is in th shop manual it isn't even labeled in there as far as i can tell weird

The white one is the oil level sensor and you've ripped the single wire out of it. Look for the single wire in the harness going to the starter.

Give wire colors with the connectors if you want quick answers Bubbles. Also your pics suck of course.

1 goes to the ac
2 not sure
3 that goes to the sensor on top or the power steering
4 not sure looks like a signal light but looks like its coming from under the engine
5 goes to your cruise control

1. Fog lamps
2. Goes to the very same fuse block in the picture.
3. I know it, but it's slipping me.
4. Oil sender like ym23 said.
5. Cruise control actuator.

Hell, is everything in your car unplugged Bubbles ? Folks, you got to learn to document these things. A camera should be in your tool box next to the 3/8" rachet.

no, but a lot of stuff was deleted when i bought the car... yes it was my fault for not documenting things better but when i pulled everything i originally was going lsx so didnt care where everything went... but the rotary bug bit me and i couldnt take the leap...........

and yes, i know my pictures suck, like always, its coming from my beat up "shop" camera which is filthy + my very poor photography skills.... and i will note color of wires next time... i wasnt smart enough to do that previously lol.......


1. Fog lamps or ac-either way both are delted.
2. Goes to the very same fuse block in the picture.AWESOME, after you said that it did seem familiar! plugged em in and my headlights started to work YAY! andddd the car is now cranking!!! hopefully she runs tomorrow!!!
3. that goes to the sensor on top or the power steering? if so thats deleted as well
4. Oil sender like ym23 said. "The white one is the oil level sensor and you've ripped the single wire out of it. Look for the single wire in the harness going to the starter."the wire i ripped out connects to the wire on the starter is a single wire with the red female end correct? but where do i connect the white one to?
5. Cruise control actuator.-deleted

thanks A TON for help!!

you are looking for a BLUE wire that attaches to that white connector Bubbles. I do not see it in there. So search your starter harness for it. Correct me if I am wrong, on your white connector it apprears both the male and female sides are there. So where is the blue wire ?
