He checked the cluster's circuits but found nothing wrong with them that he could fix. The message center (which includes the odometer) went out last winter. I removed the cluster from the car (six 7mm screws) and shipped it to Dash Doctor, who quickly replaced the center message, reprogrammed it using information from the old cluster to retain the odometer reading, and shipped it back. Most of the time required was for shipping. | ||
