Looking for a wiring diagram/pinout from the instrument cluster wiring harness.
Got a dash, for my other eclipse (currently dashless) and all the wires were cut. Got most of them together, but there are 3+ blue wires which all look the same.]

In the images below (showing the instrument cluster connection closest to the driver door), there are 3 blue wires which I can't determine where they connect to....
The wires with the red connectors on them and circled in green merge into the same wire further down the harness.

In the second connector, it shows the black harness connector which plugs in under the dash close to the driver door. It also has 2 blue connections on it, one of which is the merged wire as mentioned above. If someone could tell me where that merged wire connects to on that connector, it'll solve all my problems.

Cheers

Side note, I've checked a pinout for the instrument cluster, and the top blue wire is listed as A/T temp light, where the other 2 are listed as "?"

The other two blue wires run to the generator (alternator) relay. Since there is nothing in between them and the merger, it shouldn't matter which one connects to which spot on the dash connector. One is listed as running to the battery light illuminator while the other also runs to the A/T temp light. If you have access to the wiring diagrams, this is all listed in the Charging System section.

With respect to the other connector and unless wiring in this area changed dramatically between '97 and '98, the diagrams show the merged wire has only one intermediate connection between the dash connector and the alternator relay which is a milk white connector and only 8 pins. It transfers through pin 6.

Hopefully that helps some.
 
Managed to solve the blue wire problem for that connector (C-04 I believe) and that wire that merged is split later on into the connector you pictured above and the B-66 one.
Now my issue is the B-66 connector. There are 3 green/white wires, 2 black, and 2 blue wires. Unsure of what goes where in the B-66 connector as there isn't that much in the electrical manual :S

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Thats the best I could come up with. Not sure where the coloured wires connect to on the instrument cluster wiring harness
 
I was way confused for a moment, but then realized you have the plug opposite of what the diagram is. Your number 10 is the diagram's number 1.

For the three green with white wires:
-Pin 15 (your 18), Fog light switch illuminator, general dash illumination (pin 6 on C-06)
-Pin 12 (your 21), Glove compartment light, rear window defogger switch light, hazard warning switch light. 31
-Pin 14 (your 19), to pin 4 on rheostat/dimmer switch (C-23)

Unfortunately I wasn't able to track both blues and both blacks, but here's one of each.

For the black wire:
-Pin 2 (your 9), LH and RH turn signal dash lights and speedometer (pin 23 on C-05) to ground, ground for tachometer and temperature gauge (pins 44 on C-04 and 1 on C-06, respectively); ground for defogger switch, auto-cruise control main switch

For the blue wire:
-Pin 1 (your 10), to 7.5A dedicated fuse (B-82, through C-24) for the auto-cruise control system

Again, hope that helps some. I may have another look at it all later on but hopefully someone gets it figured out before then.
