I had shopped around and later went to the junk yard and behold...a 96si with the guage still in it......

With me taking out the dash and the whole harness......$100

So do you need the ENTIRE dash harness. . .the one that has the connections for the climate control, stereo, all the switches and stuff? If you have the harness, everything is plug-and-play, right?I've heard you also need a little "brain box" or something. Is the milage your ACTUAL milage or the milage from the wrecked car?

This is what you need
1. The speedo/Tach gauge
2. The dashboard wire harness
3. The greyish box beside the speedo/tach gauge

Note the dashboard wire harness does not include the climate control, stereo just the......

umhh less see for a 93si .....taking from the helms manual...
here is a list of the dash harness

1. Under-dash fuse/relay box
2. Main wire harness
3. Left side wire harness
4. Dash lights brightness controller
5. Cruise control main switch
6. Sunroof switch
7. Left front tweeter
8. Left front tweeter
9. Junction connector
10. Main gauge assembly
11. Mani guage assembly
12 Main gauge assembly
13. Sub gauge assembly
14. Sub gauge assembly
15. Clock
16. Dash lights brightness control unit
17. Right front tweeter
18. Right front tweeter
19. Junction connector
20. Main wire harness
21. Right side wire harness
22. Front fog light switch

Also note for the 96si the difference is
number 10 through 12 . The connectors are different since you are using the 96si guage. Number 22 is not longer available in the 96 wiring harness. One more thing...there is a connector after number 21 the is for the passengers airbag which is not used for the swap so I just taped is up.

Everything is plug and play......
