Can anyone help me identify the year of this instrument cluster? I'm usually pretty good with the 'ole Google, but I' about to pull my hair out. It has very similar connectors to the 2005 TJ Service Manual photos and some videos of them I've seen, except the white connector is only a 10-pin. I don't see an EEPROM chip like the 97-01 TJs, but I also do not have the programming pads next to the white connector. Any help is much appreciated.

Googling the part number brings it up as 01-02. The style is after the interior refresh (round dots instead of straight hash marks) and before Rubi intro (part and full time 4wd indicator lights instead of front and rear locker). So the Google machine seems likely correct.
Thank you for checking. I don't see any matching connectors in the 01-02 manual. Maybe I'm not looking in the right spot. I just want to make sure I get the correct pinout. Thanks again.
whatcha doing? I'm always interested in gauge cluster projects. And if you need the pinout you're either fixing your wiring or doing something super clever.
Hey there, hear! Honestly, I'm just being cheap and do not want to pay $150+ for a cluster that fits. I happened to have this other cluster laying around and thought I would make use of it. However, stay tuned, as I am working on a complete instrument panel retro-fit using a raspberry pi and the auto-pi module!

SUBSCRIBED.
I've had this idea of using a raspberry pi to capture all the data off the canbus and then when it re-joins my home wifi it would automatically upload it to S3 where I had a lambda waiting to push it into something like a grafana dashboard & then text me the link to it. Or maybe even have it use my phone to push the data to kinesis so I could see it in near-real time, even on the trails (assuming I had a cell connection). The amount of data is extremely minimal, payloads would be lightweight & fast.
Sorry if that was too nerdy.
No such thing as too nerdy over here. We may have to collaborate on this. I'll keep the process updated here somewhere. Right now I am painting the 'ole girl and fixing odds and ends. Also, I'm waiting on an ELM IC to bridge my ESP32 with the CANBUS.
@TheFritch Did you ever find info on programming this cluster? I have the same one - its between the 97 versions, and the 2002 full HC12 version with an HC11 chip.
