acecadillac Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I only have partial display on my cluster. The message center only has a few characters showing and all my temperature display is gone. Sometimes it comes back? Any ideas? Any idea were to start to remove this cluster? I want to examine it to see if it can be repaired? Look for broken solder contacts etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaddyChris Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 It could definately be a bad computer somewhere. This is tough to diagnose...I would not go digging into the cluster just yet. Just my thoughts.... Chris Christopher Petro 94 sts 67 coupe de Ville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 If you find its the cluster, I have used these guys, they do work for the local dealers and they are fast. I have had them fix an 86 vette cluster. If yours was blacked out, I would think it was the power supply (I think there is a power supply)..

I believe to remove the instrument cluster, you have to first remove all the ac vents by pulling them straight out, Also remove the defrost screen at the front of the windshield. In each of the ac vent holes you will find a bolt, (8mm i think) when you remove all the bolts in the vents including the three in the defroster, the dash cover will come off, and you can then remove the cluster, Its a pretty easy job to do and kind cool to see whats under there. Matt ps. you should close the vents before you remove the bolts so then dont accidently find a new home in your ac system.
