does anyone know if i buy a used instrument cluster to replace my current one if the mileage will reset to the real mileage in my car or the one previously on the used one i bought.

 

no it wont, it will display the mileage that is on the cluster.



close thread

 

i heard that too, but i heard the computer will recognize how many miles and it may go back to the original miles.

 

It will not go back to the original miles.

 

aight thanks =)

i should probably look for one that has the closest miles then?

 

Why do you need to change the whole cluster?

 

im a dumbo and tried to install reverse gauges and messed up the needles and i cant get them back to normal

 

You dont need to replace the whole cluster.

you have a few ways of doing it.

What gauges are screwed up?

Or you can buy just the gauge assembly itself and insert it without having to mess with the needles.

#6,7,8

 

i took off all of the needles and i still failed at my task of installin the new reverse gauges...i got all but the speedometer to work. the speedometer is still off when i brake

 

Your NOT supposed to pull the needles off.

Install the cluster with the cover off, find a friend with a car or a GPS and go out to a back road. Get the car up to a predetermined speed (needle off) set the cruise to hold at a constant speed and place the needle on where it should be. Test with different speeds to make sure its accurate.

OR

Buy just the speedo gauge itself from the link. Its very easy to install (found under meter components)

^^ what he said, i pulled mine out, but re calibrated it..works fine rofl....but still sticks here n there..

 

btw what cluster do u need? i got a 99 and a 2000 one from my old car, got a type s now, so no use..

 

i have an 02 tl.

 

ill check to see if the part numbers match, i can sell the faces to u, or if u want the whole unit...ill pm u when i find out, jus came back from cleanin snow early morning teheh

 

alright thanks =)

 

if anyone else has a instrument cluster, let me know :-)

 

Why not do what i said and just buy the parts needed above. Its a simple bend 2 tabs and it installed procedure.

That way you get to keep your current mileage (and its cheap)

 

na its my fault, i told him ill check my gauges and sell him whatever facing he needs..

sinagra, ill do it now.

 

i got the 99 and 2000, but i forgot i switched the speedo gauge on my 99 tl with the 00+ one cause its no italics lol.....i got the 00+ rpm and fuel/temp gauge if u want those...

 

can i get pics, i cant private message you cuz ur box is full.
