Is the 98+ gauge cluster a direct plug/bolt in?

Does anyone know if the 98+ gauge cluster bolts right in and plugs in without problems?

98+ from a trans am or firebird into a 93-97 firebird?

No, it will not.

Is there any way to get it to work? I have a 95 OBD2 3800

I got hold of a 98 cluster (quite cheap), mainly to see if it would work, but accepting that it probably wouldn't, I mainly bought it for the bezel that goes around the dials.

Anyway, when I got the thing, I pluged it in and sure enough, it doesn't work properly.

For a start, with the ignition off, the seat belt light comes on.

Now, it may well be possible to modify, by using the circuit board from a 93-97, but to be perfectly honest, the only real difference's are the bezel and the digital gage.

Mind you, the 98+ bezel on a 93-97 does look pretty cool!

I'll post pics soon :)
