dead battery
Ok, so I did an 07 STI (limited) into an 05 Saabaru (wrx). Everything was normal. Had to trim the connectors on the STI cluster. Plugged it in. Got the buzzing noise, which is actually controllable in volume with the dash light dimmer
Also noticed that the ABS light goes out when my cruise control is enabled (Cruise light is always on). I drove about 10 miles to a garage where I finished up installed the repainted interior pieces I was doing and the redone headliner. Started the car up after about 3 hours there and got about 2 miles before it died on me. Realized it looked like a dead battery but then thought "this sounds just like that issue where the alternator stops recharging the battery!" So, the only wire I clipped was the A9 (orange/white) as described here:http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/sho...sti+gauges+wrx to stop the buzzing, which it did. How can I get my alternator back on???????? |

thats the ones i need then, id like the full defi sweep in mah bugeye. thanks for the clarification. any idea on what installation is like? it should be relatively plug and play since 02-03 usdm wrx and the jdm v8 are almost the same engine harnesses. dont quote me on it, thats an assuption but i hope its right...

i don't think i'd go as far as saying they're 'almost the same' because there really are a few huge differences i think...
but it is pretty simple i think you have to just disconnect one of the pins in one of the plugs... just bend it... and it works great. i may be wrong. it's on here somewhere though. V8 clusters are simple, V9(06-07) require a little bit of electroneering. |

well I reconnected the line cut to turn off the speaker and just ripped the speaker off the board. It seems now the ABS light and outside temp are working for me. Also the brake light is working properly. It does not show when I have the cruise control on but does show when it is set. The battery ran fine and got a good charge. One hint that I can say I noticed when I first had this connected with the wire cut was the windshield wipers were moving slower than normal very odd but that would indicate this issue before you had the trouble of a drained battery.
So other than having to resplice that wire and trimming the connectors on the STI cluster I'd say it works great with my 05 automatic. |

Moved B28 to B16 located on the center connector to get the cruise working. This is what i had to do on my 05wrx with a 06sti cluster

I swapped a Forester STi cluster (same as the V7) into my '04 Forester XT yesterday and have the e-brake light always illuminated and the ABS light on all the time. I haven't tried the cruise control yet. |

This is very helpful. I have a 98RS with 02WRX swap (dash and everything) and have a 06STi cluster coming and am pretty confident about putting in it now. Does anyone have any suggestions about going through the process of putting it in?
Thanks, Anthony |

It is not a perfect solution, but it works. I too prefer to control the cluster than the console. Once I get my 6 speed and Spiider DCCD, I will work on a way to wire the DCCD into the cluster. I do not think it will be too hard. |

I hate technology, your always like a few weeks too early! Either way, I'm glad it's dual mode finally. damn. I know it's a small thing, but I do really wish it was fully integrated. abootman- I'll be trying to get this working with my cluster swap after i get my 6spd in, so keep me posted on your progress ill do the same. |

when I finish my STi drivetrain swap this will be one of my next projects... and given that i have access to many many subarus, tools, and service manuals one could ever need, I can't imagine it being to hard to figure it out. I'll post here with any updates. PS keep forgetting to grab those diagrams i made, try again tomorrow! i'm so out of it lately, sorry. |

yea same here i have many projects going on all at once and the out temp read out isnt top priority. but its still on my list. after my car is back from the shop i will give it another shot with the auto hvac i picked up. if it works with that rigged in the car then i will try to make the parts needed to spoof a auto hvac system for the cluster to work properly
