Overhead Temp and compass.

[purevilpleasure]

I have a 98 Expy that does not have the temp or compass in the overhead console but I have another spare console with it in and would like to install it. I don't have any thing else but that, no sensors or additional wiring. Any one attempted this themselves?

Thanks

can you clarify please? You say you don't have any additional wires or sensors. I take that as you did not take any wires or sensors from the truck you got the console with the display from.

If that is the case, take your old console down and look for a black plug that is not connected towards the front of the console. Taking the console down is really easy, one screw and a couple clips. check it out, maybe you are wired for it already.

Yes you are correct, I only was able to get the console, I'm guessing the wiring maybe there, but I bet the sensor is no where to be found. That's why I'm wondering if anyone else has tackled this before.

Thanks for the reply.

you said taking down the console is easy. where do i start. my 2000 has the temp and compass but it stopped working.

I'm nearly certain mine had only one screw in it. It's inside one of the flip down pockets. take the screw out, then pull the console forward and down and it should come right off.
