    I was looking to replace my analog DIC with a Digital. I have read the threads on this and other forums. I seen the hack to get a NON-97 digital DIC to work on a 97. My question is what are these parts ('Yellow' #1 and 'Blue' #2) attached to the wire loom. When I pulled it from the donor, I cut the wire high enough to include them since I did not know what they are....

    While I am asking dumb questions, what are these lights on the top of the dash?

    Part 1 is the RFA aka Remote Function Actuator aka .. what receives the signal from your remote control.
    Part 2 a bit tough to make it out under the foam, and I forget what it is anyhow

    The red light, it's a GP security light blinky thing that I've never read up on to make sense of when it blinks
    Middle bubble is the climate control solar sensor
    Right side is the photocell sensor to turn the headlights on automatically.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I pull back the curtain, turned out to be a connector. I guess since it is a male plug they wrapped it with some super sticky tar like stuff to keep it from shorting out. I guessing it might be the analog DIC.

    I'm guessing that the red LED on the left is the security light that flashes when the car's content protection is armed by locking the car with the remote. The center looks like the ambient light sensor that turns the automatic headlights on. I'm not sure about the function of the thing on the right.

    When I was compiling my parts to do the digital DIC swap, I dove into the dash to see if I had both connectors. I didn't, and my analogue DIC connector looks just like the above image. I agree that it does look like the cluster connector, but it is part of the DIC wiring, so it can't be cluster related.
