I just removed my cluster because the odometer trip meter "push button" on the cluster had come loose. I fixed it and when I went to put the cluster back in, I noticed that the labels on the wires for the right side of the cluster that light up for ABS and SRS and CHECK ENGINE etc. had fallen off.

Here is what I mean:

As you can see label 3 and label 5 are still there.

This is the right side of the instrument cluster:


This is a picture of the 4 wires - "5" "4" "3" "1"


How can I figure out which of the 2 wires goes where? One of them is for the "ABS" and the other is for "CHECK ENGINE". If I turn the car on for example, which light should go off first - check engine or ABS?

Thank you

I believe check engine and SRS come on before the others when you turn the key to first position (radio on) and the others don't come on until you turn the key to second position. I'll check when I leave work to confirm.

This thread really did not have a proper ending. Just wondering- did you ever figure out the cluster wiring?

Inquiring minds want to know....

No I didn't. I have the cluster pushed in 1/2 way until I know for sure. I guess the onlyway I will be able to find out is when some member here on teh forum removes they're cluster and tells me the color of the wires and then I will be able to match them up.
