Ill retake all the wires apart and take step by step pics. Make sure if u get a display from a junkyard u get the9 pin harness that was connected to it as well.

yes some pics and a write up would help me out big time! I've been wondering about this for about a year but never said anything about it. This would help greatly for me because i can know my exact mpg with the goofy fuel level sending unit not working

My 96 Blazer came stock with the comp/temp. I just got one with all the modes. I hooked it up, but its not working. I spliced the original 6 wires together by color. Then I was left with a purple and orange wire. I connected the purple wire to the purple wire for the data. So where does the orange wire go? Everything light up right now, I just have dashed where the numbers would be. Also my compass is only reading NW and the temp. is dashes also. I also pressed the two buttons to reset it. Any ideas on why its not reading?

Default wires...

MY 97LT 4 door has no overhead console... Are the cables already up there originaly for temp and compass if i would buy a oh console? Or would i have to wire them up there myself?

Just wondering if I did this would the range feature work even though my gas guage doesn't? cause if so this would be a huge help for me.

Hey guys, could you help me out a bit here please?
I read a lot about overhead display here and im very much interested in upgrading mine from temp/compass to a full trip computer on 95 blazer.
If i understood correctly i need the newer display ( the one with US/Met and Mode buttons) , harness and wires. Im not sure what harness means, is it that plastic cover?
A link to a dealer or ebay with the parts that i need would be really much appreciated
Local junkyard is out of the question for me because i wouldnt find another blazer in at least 500 miles radius so my only option is ordering it online from someone who ships to europe :P
Thanks in advance
