86/87 ES Electrical Schemes

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

86/87 ES Electrical Schemes

Post by levi » Tue Mar 06, 2012 11:03 pm

The instrument panel and infocenter in my 86 ES are totally dead (well, not totally, some of the information lights still works).

I need to solve this, but I'm having trouble finding the correct electrical schemes for these model years.

Do anyone have them?

Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for the link.

The ones in there are for 1991 or 1992 - 1994 cars. I believe that 86/87 are different, because the plugs of the instrument panel are not equal, and the instrument panel are not interchangeable.

Checkout the bottom document called "Wiring Diagrams" - it has the schemes called "up to 1991" which I use and find largely correct in my 1987 cars
