1st of all I am an idiot as far as electronics goes , mechanical wise i can help my self , so if you have info pls PLS i need diagrams and step by step instructions
90% 0f Jeep spares need to be imported and our exchange rate doesnt help much if you have a limited budget
I have a Jeep XJ Cherokee rhd 2,5l petrol , the instrument cluster is sort of working so I would like to replace the dails with 7 segment led display cluster , I have been surfing the net for days and found nothing usefull , the jeep has a electronic dial speedometer ; heat gauge , fuel gauge , volt meter and a oil pressure gauge . I would like to ad a tachometer ( revcounter)
I want a simple clear layout
(1) 88,8 (2) 8888 (3) 888 (4) 88,8
volt RPM km/h Fuel
(3a)8888,8
(5) 888 trip meter (6) 888
heat (3b) 888888 oil pres
odometer
1,4,5,6 +/-15mm -5/8inch
2,3 +/- 25mm- 1inch
3a,3b 6 to 10mm - 1/4 to 3/8inch
must be able to reset trip meter and odometer must have some memory as to keep reading of distance covered and if battery gets disconnected or run flat
1 - Is it do-able meaning can someone with little electronic knowlage do it
2 - Is it a reasonable economical
3 - IF it is do-able can you PLS help me
I know i can buy the gauges but what is the fun in that
If you did not build it it aint a JEEP
It is a JEEP thing you wont understand
PLS help
Thanks
