Guys, Do any of you guys know what BUS language the Prowler uses for the various computers on board? Is there an different bus language for the 1997 vs 1999-2002 Prowler? If I can verify that the BUS language is the same between all models, then it's very likely the 1999+ instrument cluster circuit board will work in my 1997. ------------------ This message has been edited by spoons on 11-11-2011 at 02:27 PM |

Bob says SEBC is the base for the PCM and communicates with the bcm so that portion should be common. There were 3 distinct overlays but the architecture remained the same. Jerry Scholten would be the expert but we are driving down the road and can't reach him right now. |

all circuit boards for 97 to 02 are discontinued.there arent any.call a reputable dealer and see if the part numbers for 97 and 99 circuit boards are the same,if they are then you can use a 99 cluster.the bus system has nothing to do with the type or year circuit boards.all you need to know is the 97 and 99 boards the same,therefore go bye the part numbers.same will work different no. ------------------ This message has been edited by catfish on 11-11-2011 at 04:11 PM |

97 board is unique, it's a different part # which is no longer in stock. 1999+ there is 66 in stock. The board mfg told me there not sure why the boards are different and it maybe because different bus languages. |

Mopar or NSI will not repair my board. I guess I'll buy the new board and hope it works. If not I'll have to hard wire be gauges to BCM |

I have called nearly a dozen vintage circuit board repair shops. All state the same thing "no dice, if it was a mustang or vettte we'd love to help.". I call the largest circuit board repair located in Denver and they said no. This message has been edited by spoons on 11-12-2011 at 06:42 PM |
