Well, the wiring positions for 14 pin connectors for '85 and older vans
is different from those used in '86 and newer vans.  When clusters cross
that dividing line, wires in the 14 pin connector have to be repositioned.

If someone has already redone your connector, you might want to check
and see if it was done correctly.  Do you need the wiring info or do you
have it?
