Does anyone know what the difference between the Base and SH cluster is? I don't mean as far as the gauges, but the actual piece that the light bulbs are plugged into. What happened was that mine had a short and fried on of the copper connection tape that is on the back of the cluster. Kinda looks like plastic paper with copper colored lines all over. I have it currently rigged so it works, but am looking for a replacement, and was wondering if I could just pull my gauges and swap them into a base cluster. I don't know if it is the same cluster, except for a light bulb missing where the ATTS is, and if I put a light bulb in there, will it work the same?

Also, If anyone has any other suggestions how to repair the copper on the back (a space of about the head of a needle, very tiny) please let me know, of course since it is on plastic, soldering is out, even low heat solder is out.

 

if the other clutster doesnt fit u could take the ribbon cable off the good cluster and swap it, usually they have clamp type connectors at each end.
and yes i do think the SH/base will swap mechanically and electrically.
