I had to replace mine! It’s a DIY job if you’re comfortable. Just take your time and be patient.
A good OBD-II scanner can also help diagnose electrical issues. Has anyone used one for cluster-related problems? What did you find?

I used one recently and it pointed out several error codes that were related to communication with the cluster. It was helpful!

I wonder if there’s any chance that the issue could be due to a bad ground somewhere? Grounding problems often lead to weird electrical behaviors.
Humorously, if only we could bribe the instrument cluster with chocolate to get it working! But seriously, if it were only that easy!
Haha! Too true! But I think you’re right about grounding issues; definitely worth checking.
Remember to take notes as you troubleshoot. It helps track what you’ve tried and can be useful if you need to consult a mechanic later!
That’s solid advice! I often forget what I’ve done and end up repeating steps. Being organized saves time!
