I have a 97 Eclipse Gst and it had all grey interior so I got all black leather seats and dash and all from a 99 GS. Well I swapped the dash and left the non turbo harness in the dash instead of switching the harness out of mine and now my blinkers, factory oil and boost gauge does not work. I figured it's because I left the non turbo harness in there and the non turbos don't have oil pressure or boost on the factory cluster. So I just wanted some input from you guys to see what ya'll think befor I pull the dash back out.

I am trying to not be mean. But this is really a "duh" situation. Of course that is why it isn't working.
 
Looks similar, but the 420A cars run their electronics differently than the turbo cars. Wouldn't be surprised if the light circuits are run off of different grounds and such. So yeah, swap those harnesses and you'll be ok.
 
I went through the same thing before I realized the differences. It's not hard to swap the harnesses around. Just do a little at a time and remember how it goes in. It's laid out in a way that it kinda falls into place for bolting it up.
 
It actually wasn't the harness that was coausing my blinkers to not work. I didn't have the hazard button plugged in and that was what was causing the blinkers not to work. But regardless I wanted my factory boost and oil pressure gauges to work so I did pull the dash out and swap the harnesses.
