Only think was my fog lights wont work now.

Interesting, have you tried plugging back in your factory unit to see if the fog lights go back on? Maybe try it with/without the 2 cut wires reconnected, see if that is what makes the difference for you. Also make sure you cut the right 2 wires...
Oh, and make sure your fog light switch is on, I did some work today on the car (plasti-coated all the silver and smooth bits on the dash) and I guess I bumped the fog light switch, didn't notice it until after I had already checked the bulbs.

It would be interesting to see if someone can dig up the 02 and 03 WRX wiring diagrams and see where the differences are. Probably material for a different thread though, and we can just link to it from here.

I havnt tried putting the stock one in. I dont really want to reconnect the two cut wires because I dont want to blow a fuse lol. Im 99% sure I cut the right ones, no fuses blew and everything (except the fogs) work.
Yup Ive tried the switch on/off. When I turn them on my blue high beam light shows up on the cluster (did that on my stock one as well) but no fog lights.

Ive tried the switch and its good. Put in a buddys and his didnt work either.
We used a volt meter on the switch and with the key in the ignition and the switch on, there is 12v at the switch. So we pulled my driver side fog and put the meter there. The second the switch in the car is turned on, the meter jumps to 12v then instantly to 0 :confused:
I thought about just running a rely and basically having the light "hard-wired" in the car. No motivation yet tho haha.

| Disaster646 | 04-08-2010 01:30 PM |
why not putting the stock cluster back in.. and put those 2 wires together.. if ur fog work then u know is because of the cluster or the cut wires.. then pick.. cluster or fogs??..lol. if u want both then reroute power to the fogs but use the same switch.. also.. i dont remember too well..but i think my fogs only worked when head lights were on.. its been over 2 years with no fogs.. so i forgot..
| boostin23 | 04-08-2010 02:21 PM |
Ya fogs only work when headlights are on
Im not bored enough to put the stock one back in yet :lol:
And I love my fogs, but i LOVE the new cluster even more :lol::lol:
Yea ive thought about doin a rely to just reroute the power but again, just havnt gotten bored enough to do it haha.

i just put the cluster in my 02 wrx from a 05 sti, and I made the 05 clockspring custom fit into my car :) What this means is that no modification is required for the airbag , the cruise control, or the horn. Use the 05 steering wheels cruise controls :)
Its pretty bad ass. Not to mention I have no problems with my beeping rev limiter warning or the E brake staying on. I put some black tape behind the gauges on the indicators that will not go out such as rear diff. Cluster is all installed and you cannot even tell it and the wheel doesnt belong on this car. Not to mention my sti front and rear seats, carpets, and door panels.

I've got the 05 clockspring installed too... but I think I need the white plastic part it attaches to as it doesn't quite fit properly... but still works. Nest time I have it apart I'll have to swap that piece.
| vettedriver986 | 06-25-2010 02:36 PM |
I just drilled two holes in the 05 clockspring to make it screw on to the wrx white plastic piece... So I have 3 out of 4 screws holding it in place haha

I just bought an 05 STI cluster and received it in the mail today. It's going into my 02, so everything should be good and will be installing it tomorrow. One little problem though. When I got the cluster, gas and engine temp were both resting at zero where they should. RPM and speed were not though. The tach is at about 3K and the speed is at 30ish. Is this a problem?
The picture I received had all the needles at their zero positions, but upon getting it today they were like this. Is the cluster effed, or will they just fix themselves once I supply power to it and get it running? I know sometimes aftermarket gauges will ship with the needles pointing where they shouldn't, but once installed they correct themselves after being powered up for the first time. Is the cluster the same way, or do I need to claim shipping broke it and use the insurance that it was shipped under? I'll obviously find out tomorrow, but I'd like to put my mind a little more at ease right now...

Sweet. Thanks. I'm itching to get this mother in.
| JASWRX | 11-05-2010 09:47 PM |
so what is the deal... has anybody tried switching the wires to get the cruise light on the cluster to go on when the cruise is engaged?
| kornykidd0 | 11-06-2010 12:18 PM |
So my cluster is installed! 05sti into 02 wrx wagon. Followed all the steps in the OP, except rather than filing down the middle peg in the female plug in the sti cluster my friend and I filed down the guide pegs on the wrx male plug. This made it fit perfect. It's very easy to see what needs to be done when you get in there.
Got all the lights I was expecting, no OAT reading. My coolant gauge reads a little cooler and my fuel gauge reads a hair lower, but I think this is because the gauges themselves are larger, which leads to a more precise reading when compared to the wrx gauges.
One thing is that I have the security light blinking non-stop. Blinks when driving, blinks when locked. Any idea about fixing this? It's just a minor annoyance, but an annoyance all the same.

Well I received my 06 USDM STi cluster a couple days ago and going to use this thread as my jumping off point. The car has 189xxx miles on it and had the long block replaced 3k ago w/a hybrid ej257/205; VF22 set up...so sending the cluster off to Tacomaspeedometer doesn't seem too advantageous. I'm just going to document, sign and have witnessed by my mechanic with the ODO differences. If/when I ever sell it, that should suffice for the buyer to feel a little more comfy about what he/she is getting.
| bishops'00RS | 04-21-2011 08:44 PM |
So just did the swap 05 STi cluster in an 03 WRX wagon and everything works great. The only problem I have is my exterior parking \ brake lights are always on. Anyone figure this one out yet?

This write up is great. However, there is a better way to cover the "ABS" and "rear diff." lights that looks like it is from the factory.
Whole process takes about [COLOR=Blue]15 mintutes[/COLOR] but is WELL worth it
[U]Tools[/U]:
- Electrical tape
- tweezers (not mandatory but will make it easier)
1) pull the clear cover off the cluster
2) un-snap the black surround off the face of the cluster
3) gently pull the black piece with the silver rings off the face of the gauges.
4) gently pull back the corner of the black (velvet feeling) piece right next to where the "rear diff" light shines. Pull gently but don't worry because it pops right up without breaking (mine made popping sounds which scared me but it was just the adhesive coming un-done and it snapped right back into place tightly when I finished).
5) Take a small piece of electrical tape attached to the end of the tweezers and cover the white square directly underneath where the "rear diff" light shines.
6) Do this same thing where the "abs" light is.
BTW: I also used this method to eliminate the "[B][COLOR=Red]STI[/COLOR][/B]" light on the tach. To do this you have to pull up from the corner mentioned in step 4 as well as the opposite corner. Gently and [B]SLOWLY[/B] keep pulling the velvet piece up until you can see the red square underneath where the STI shines. Use tweezers to get a piece of electrical tape to cover the red square.
Once you have finished covering the lights you wanted to eliminate, put the cluster back together in the opposite order you took it apart. Put it in the car and you will now see that it appears that these lights were never on and even if you look EXTREMELY closely you cannot tell there is electrical tape or that those lights were ever there.
When I get hold of a camera I will take some pics.

I bought an 05 Sti cluster for my 03 sedan and I'm getting ready to install it and I just did this to cover the ABS and rear diff light. It was SUPER easy, just follow these instructions exactly and you will be fine. AND yes that sound is just the adhesive, I about ***** my pants when i heard it but it buttons back up just fine. i took a pic and will have it up here soon. Bump for an AMAZING thread. Oops, one thing, the electrical tape actually sticks to the velvet feeling piece, just an fyi.

Just got done installing it! Super easy, longest part was triple checking to make sure i'm cutting the right wires. Woot Woot! it looks AMAZING. Just clip the two wires it tells you and For the one plug you have to modify, cant' remember who said it, but they said it right, line up the middle fin of the drivers side plug with with the cluster, and you'll see the two fins that dont line up, cut em down, once the fins are gone, just snap the plugs back into place, and they do snap in. Any questions msg me and i'll help ya
| Supraru | 10-05-2011 10:13 PM |
Ok so let me get this strait. If I follow this correctly no matter what happens there will be a rear diff light (no big deal), and the abs light will stay on? If it has an actual failure the light goes out? Is that what you mean? Or does it blink? I have a deal on an 05 cluster and there are certain things I can deal with. I'd rather get the 04 but currently can't find any.

Then a 2004 STI cluster will be 100% plug and play, but the outside air temp and rear diff temp light will not work without wiring the circuits.
| Gam30vR | 10-06-2011 01:20 PM |
I heard the ABS light just goes off if it fails, but if it does anything but stay lit I'm getting it checked out. And yeah the rear diff stays on, I just put tape over the abs and rear diff. I don't know what tell you about it being just plug and play, if you blow a radio fuse it definitely is not, I wanted the 04 too but I got an 05 for 200

I have a 03 wrx, and I just recently purchased a 05 wrecked STi. All vehicle components are intact and undamage except for the front left suspension (control arm, power steering tie rod end, etc.) Is there a way I can fully swap all the parts over and have my 05 STi gauge cluster fully operating as if it came from factory? I have every part I need, but will it work?
| Supraru | 11-23-2011 06:06 AM |
Swap the dash as well.
| 02RexWI | 11-23-2011 08:16 AM |
The dash is the same, there would be no point in swapping it unless you wanted to use the automatic HVAC unit, but that would require using the whole STI wiring harness.
| Supraru | 11-23-2011 09:00 AM |
And if you run the Sti wiring then there would be no problems. Everything will function properly and you won't have any cluster issues like mentioned above.
| 02RexWI | 11-23-2011 09:54 AM |

Again, you didn't read what he's doing. He bought a 05 full Sti and is swapping it over. There would be far more merging just swapping the engine and you'd still be running the ecu. Take advice from someone who's actually fully swapped his car, just transfer everything from the Sti. And going from gd to gd is cake.

His question was if he swaps everything over can he get it to work like it does from the factory. The answer is yes, as long as he swaps the dash. I don't think you realize all the stuff he'd have to change if he kept the 02 dash, and he still wouldn't have a perfect operating cluster.

Yes they work like they are supposed to. Only things that don't work is obviously the outside temp, and dccd. I think that's it off the top of my head.

I've followed the write up exactly and everything works as it should but my question is about the loud buzzing noise that won't stop. I have already cut the orange/white wire on the right hand side connector but it still makes the buzzing noise. Does anyone know what might be the cause of this?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I'd imagine the same thing that makes it buzz for some people who put the 05 usdm into a car previously before that. I think the answer is in here somewhere so read the whole thread. Might just have to ground out a wire.
