porcupine73 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I had this diagram I think it is from around 2000, I don't know though if it's still the same position for year or what it would be now if Y was 2000.

johnceggleston Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 OK.but 2000 cluster will not work.cruise works but not speedo? info please: the existing 00 speedo does not work? the replacement 00 speedo does not work? do you have a check engine light? if no ''cel'', then it is a loose or bad connection going to the instrument panel. good luck.

Subaru cars Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 No check engine lite.cruise works.body style is not 2000.cluster is 95-97.trying to figure out speedo problem and buy right parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Where on the car did you get the VIN from? There are multiple places where VINs are stamped, and there are small stickers on most of the removeable body panels (hood, trunk, doors). Does the VIN on the dash match the VIN on the sticker under the hood? Match the sticker in the door jamb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru cars Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Checked on dash.will check title.and under hood .when I get home.thinking the 99 did not have hood scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 99 was the last year for the 1st gen outback(95-99). 2000 was the first year of 2nd gen. (2000-04) Bodys are totally different. Cars101.com for pics, look in the Archive section about halfway down the left on the main page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorse001 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) +1 a '00 cluster shouldnt physically fit in a '99. A '99 would have the old school rollover odometer, a '00 would have an lcd Dunno if it makes a difference, a 99 has a phase 2 4eat trans, and may have a different layout electrically than a 95-98 cluster.

johnceggleston Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 vin # 4s3bg6853x7612962.shows 99.but cluster is 95-97. this vin is differENT THAN THE ONE YOU POSTED UP TOP. BUT LET'S ASSUME THIS MOST RECENT VIN IS ACCURATE. YOU HAVE A 99 SUBaru. the 95 - 97 cluster will not work. you need a 99 cluster. a working 99 cluster. of course there is the possibility the 99 L cluster is different than the 99 outback. which car do you have? which cluster do you have?
