lol no I meant that perhaps you could rig an external light that would do the same as the light in an abs equipped cluster. This way, finding a cluster with a tach won't be as hard.

Understood. My point though was that ABS is controlled by the ECM and the only indicator output is via CAN BUS message to the cluster.

The required cluster is proving virtually impossible to find for me. I'd really like to do the switch but in all honesty I wouldn't go as far as it would seem to be necessary to modify a cluster without the ABS light. There would always be the question in my mind whether the ABS is really ok. These warning lights are wonky as they are without a fool like me messing with them. Right now my 6 month old car has the tire pressure warning light lit and when I checked the actual tire pressure the tires are all ok. So it's to the dealer to get it fixed under warranty. Imagine getting your dealer to fix this problem with a modified cluster!
