My blinkers get light up when I turn the dimmer on and I dont have main cluster lights.

How should I connect them? Whats on number 6 and 7 on the picture? I know 1 and 2, and 3 that's simple, and I think I am correct about 4,5...but other I really have no clue... I connected 8 and its the upshift arrow that doesn't work properly...

Also, what are the main cluster light bulb sizes?

This is the correct order:

Wire Cluster
1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
? 8


Wire 6 goes to your tachometer - if you have one. If you don't have a tachometer, then it doesn't get connected. As far as wire 4 is concerned, I can't tell the color from your picture - so I'm not sure exactly where it goes. On the cluster, the connections you mark as 4 & 5 usually have a single wire connected (not two) and that wire runs to the cruise control unit. If you don't have cruise control then it should have no connection.

You need to consult a wiring diagram for final connections. You don't state the year and model of your car. The clusters did change from year-to-year so the model year is important for the final connections.

Take a look at the photos on this site:

Also googling Volvo 240 instrument cluster shows some pics that may be helpful

 

Sorry my car is 1988 240 DL.

Wire 4 is blue and I dont have cruise control, previous owner said it was giving him problems but I remember 2 wires being attached there before, blue one for sure (4) and another one...

Also, what is 7 for ?

So its:

1-1
2-2
3-3
?-8
6-6

7-...

 

On my car, I believe the power for the clock comes in on 7. It's a female connector on the cluster and therefore only a wire with a male spade plugs in there. I don't see any wires in your picture with a male spade on the end.

Do you have a clock in your cluster or a tach?

 

Yea I dont have any male spade connectors.

I have a tach. I got on of those quartz clock from a junk yard and tried to connect it but it didnt work, it does light up but nothing else, I just used 3 connectors on the back of my cluster (you can see it in the picture with all 3 wires in red color). SO when messing with that and cluster bulbs I messed up the wires, hence this post.
