Does anyone know how to remove the instrumental cluster to get to the guages?pictures would really help.

 

Here's a picture.Doesn't look too hard.

 

Sumone here did it, I dont remember there name but there avatar is a gif of them making faces.

 

Thanks, i'm working on a project that requires me to put a camera in the cluster.

 

Probably one of your worst posts. Very informative. Not.

Now everyone in the forum is going to spend all night looking for an avatar of someone making faces. Not.

 

He meant no harm, he was only trying to help!

 

I figured maybe that guy would chime in, or, maybe kfk256 would recognize it and PM him, I just didn't feel like looking through posts.

What are you doing that involves camera insertion? Is it one of those things that keeps track of eye position so if you doze off it sets of an alarm? Does it take a photo of the poor bastard who dares steal your car?

 

OK. I get it.

 

that guy would be me

cluster takes aboiut 5 minutes to remove

lower your steering wheel as low as it will go

grab the cluster surround and pull, there are 6 clips holding it on, once it's off remove the 2 harnesses

the cluster is held in by 4 screws, remove those, and make the face of the cluster point down, you'll then be abe to see the back of the cluster. behind the cluster there are 2 harnesses that need to be remove, once you do that the cluster will slide out

 

With almost 2000 posts, this guy obviously reads everything on this forum. He was just trying to help. I don't think anyone should criticize him for trying to help.

 

Noted. And I already got proved wrong when rbf351 posted.

I was just trying to help when I posted the picture, but then missed the boat, so can we call this even?

 

For both purposes, this is a beta version (test) for a new aftermarket product launch.I rendered my 05 TL for the company. I will keep everyone informed if it's flawless of course, if not i will be filing for compensation . I've woked with them on other projects i'm not at liberty to discuss, so i trust they will always do terrific job.

 

Normally it takes about 15 posts to thoroughly flog someone for this type of activity. Going rate for mods is 20. But OK..

Cudos to Crazy for responding professionally.

Kfk256 - Sorry all for my rambling/hijacking.
--Thanks for the pics and posts men. I have a very minor/intermittent rattle behind the cluster that I may tackle someday.


Cheers

 

Yah, it took a lot of work, I almost verbally killed ron and got myself removed from the forum, JK, Ive takin up medatation by way of finding old things and smashing them with bigger heavier old things or just lighting them on fire.

Thats pretty cool, it would be even cooler if you could get a retnal scanner in too, but I think one would need a more expensive higher quality camera. Be sure to keep us posted.
