Digital to analog.. Im stumped

All right peeps I did the digital to analog gauge cluster swap...BUT I am confused... I have it all working. But the ancient computer behind the glove box that controls the warning system requires 2 female adapters to plug into each end of it.. the analog harness has 2 males? NismoPick HELP

You use the analog dash harness for the analog cluster, digital dash harness for the digital cluster.

Yes it does. Well it does if you take the analog pig tail out of a car with the warning computer. If you take it out of an analog car that didn't have a warning system.....

Don't think so. Might have some extra resistance in the harness somewhere - connector to the sender (temp sensor)? Could also be a faulty gauge....
