98 V70R Instrument Cluster swap into 97 850 R Issues

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

98 V70R Instrument Cluster swap into 97 850 R Issues

Post by FullMetalVolvo »

Brand new to MVS! I'm swapping a 98 V70R blue faced cluster into my 97 855R and having a few issues. I've got cluster in and the speedometer at ignition before and during running rests at ~35mph. Temp, Gas, RPM, and the trip computer work, etc seem to be work properly with the exception of the TRACS and low gear/Winter triangle(which may be bulbs/will check with a volt meter). After seeing these I reset the ecu with my code reader and took the car for a little spin and the speedo began to function with the 35 being the "0" point and moving up from there. Everything else seems to be functioning correctly but this big issue which makes driving a constant math equation on speed. I thought this was a direct swap but would love some help some help.

-Thanks

it is a direct swap. sounds like the wires are loose or you have a bad cluster. put the 850 cluster back in and see what happens.
