Instrument cluster reqd- Urgent

**mx6si** · 6-20-07, 5:16

After deciding to finally fit the white/reverse glow dials I bought about 3 years ago I managed in my clumsy effort to break two of the needles on the speedo!!! and the temp guages. So I desperately need a replacement cluster.
If anyone has one from a breaking project or if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks

I did, its a manual.
Has anyone changed one before, how easy/difficult is it?

Ignore all the steering wheel bit... just remove the column shroud and drop the wheel as far as it will go.. the dash surround can be removed then.

The vents in the centre are a pain to unscrew, but need to be removed to allow the surround to be removed... everything else pretty much unplugs.

Just a quick warning.. when I replaced the cluster in mine, the new one didn't work. I had to transfer the circuit board from the back of the old one on to the new one.

Try your replacement 1st... just thought I's share my experience

Cheers Russ, I know one thing, there will be no reverse glow dials going on the replacement cluster. More problems than theyre worth and I was ultra careful too
