Sorry this video is so long, but I wanted to cover in detail how to wire up a custom instrument cluster.
In the previous installment I showed how to make the cluster, this video shows how I wired everything up and made it all work. Even though much of this work is specific to #ETCGDadsTruck, the techniques shown can be applied to any instrument cluster you might be building and installing.
Here’s a link to the first part of this video where I showed how to make the cluster: https://youtu.be/i5Zy04iBvzI
