Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Changing Instrument Cluster - Removal And Installation Of Needle?
I will change the cluster lights to blue LEDs.
Some "leftover" questions:
How do I get the needles "clear" instead of red?
How to remove and reinstall the needles the "right way" (e.g. calibration)
Everything else I could find here in different posts.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 1999 - Instrument Cluster Removal Affect Immobilizer?
I am going to remove my Instrument Cluster for an illumination LED changing, to convert them to the white colour. I found out that Immobiliser is located on Instrument Cluster, is there anything I have to be careful?
It's 1999 Bora. I think Immo 2 on it.
I found one Thread that someone had the problem with Immobiliser after cluster removal (it was also for LED job), a car was not starting, he suffered some time tried lots of things, but then everything went OK, even though he wasn't sure what was wrong.
So, do you think there is a high potential risk to take it out? Do you think I have to cut battery connection beforehand?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Speedometer Needle Stuck And Not Counting Miles Correctly?
So my girlfriend got a 2002 Jetta Wagon 2.0 automatic (PRND321, no tiptronic). She noted when she was driving fast on the driveway highway one day her speedo stopped climbing and would wiggle around 60mph and not go any further even if she was going 80+.
I would have thought first that the speed sensor would be messed up. Went to the junkyard and pulled 2 speed sensors for cheaper then 1/4 of new. Put the newer cleaner part on and the same exact issues. Locks up and wont climb past ~65mph and the needle wiggles. I am guessing its not the sensor. Question is what could cause it? Could it be the actual internal gear in that meshes with the transmission? Ill try replacing, i have extra i think. But could this be a cluster or a computer issue? And the odometer is also off. When it gets stuck at the slow speed, the mileage won't count at the full speed. She drove to a friends at a known 80 miles away and it only said its was low 70-something on the gauge when she got there. So there is a discrepancy of mileage count too.
I am going to head to the junkyard soon and thinking of pulling a cheap cluster to try it out, but I also heard you might need a VCDS for the immobilizer in the cluster. And the mileage is stored on the cluster or not? What should I pursue next?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - Instrument Cluster Replacement
Currently my gas & temp gauges do not work, so I assume the cluster is shot or needs fixed etc. my question is can I simply replace it with a used one from eBay, or do I need to send this one back to be programmed? I was reading about the immobilizer which I assume the 2003 is subject to as well?
View 1 RepliesFord F-150 (2004-2008) :: Instrument Cluster - RPMs Blank And All Needle Gauges Bottoming Out On 0 Side
I have a 2004 F150 (New Body Style) with 5.4L 3v and about 266k miles. My Alternator finally bit the dust and my instrument cluster went from reading speed, temp level, odometer, RPMs to being blank and all needle gauges bottoming out on the "0" side. Removed Alternator and had it tested, found Alternator Failed tests. Ordered and Installed New aftermarket 110a Alternator. Battery was fully charged (13v) and passed load test out of the truck. After installation, started the truck with no problem, instrument cluster gauges all read normal when turning key to on position, after starting and let run, instruments and gauges blacked out and returned to "0". Battery was reading 13v and with truck running read about 17v. What could be causing this?
View 3 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - Instrument Cluster / Interior LEDs Work Sometimes
I just picked up an '03 Golf and decided to put in the euro switch I had from my old Jetta. When I turn the headlights on (either parking or full) the instrument cluster blue back lighting and the red interior LEDs work only sometimes. When they work, they all work, but probably about 9 out of 10 times, they just won't come on at all, so I have to sit there turning the switch on and off repeatedly until they do come on. What could be causing this? It's definitely not a fuse since they do come on eventually, so my first thought was maybe a relay, but which one? What else could be going on?

While traveling speedometer and fuel level indicated blanked out. No other problems--I could see our speed by using GPS.
Toyota service said a circuit board was burned out. I searched and found numerous such problems with 04 up to 09 and eventually (in 2012) Toyota initiated an extended warranty to cover replacement of the board.
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 - Wrench Signal Showing On Instrument Cluster / Speedometer Will Go To 0
Town and all shops nearby have a week wait to get the truck in there. This happened once or twice a year ago but I'd pull over, shut it off and when I restarted it everything was fine. I'll be driving and all of a sudden the information display on the cluster will show a wrench signaling something's wrong(see image), then the speedometer will go to 0 and all information in center display will show flat lines. This started up yesterday but is now doing it after about 10min of driving every time I being driving. What's worse is the truck will randomly start shifting or shift extremely hard even when driving at a consistent speed. This was taken while truck was going about 45, but shows 0...

I have a 2012 F350 XLT that came out of Canada. So of course the speedometer is in KM. (Large numbers are km and smaller numbers are mph). I am trying to find out if I can simply change out my cluster with a mph cluster???
View 4 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Cluster Won't Turn On / Fuel Pump Will Crank Over But Car Not Starting
So, before we diagnose further, i have my fuse #43 pulled because that has been the only thing that somehow magically makes my car run when its not plugged in. I believe I've been dealing with a bad distributor and haven't come up with the funds yet to mod it for a v6 mustang coilpack.
BUT as the title describes, this just started happening today. The cluster wont turn on, fuel pump is cranking over, and the starter will whine as it cranks but no spark. Is the distributor getting that bad or am i looking at something worse?
Golf VI R :: Speedometer Needle Wobble A Bit Under 40MPH
Noticed this at speeds below 40 MPH. My speedometer needle will wobble a small amount, but over 40 MPH its is dead steady. I have noticed this a few times.

With DRLs enabled and a Euro switch in Auto, I get HIDs, city lights and side markers during the day - no DRL indicator on instrument cluster.. With switch in Off, I get only HIDs, but with DRL indicator lit. In Auto I expected only HIDs as DRL and DRL indicator lit. No city lights or sides.

View 8 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: How To Change Instrument Cluster Language
I am looking into buying a used R32 and as I drove it, a warning came up on the instrument cluster that the door was ajar and it was german text. Is this something that all R32s have? Or is it possible to be changed?
I tried searching but couldn't figure out the proper search terms. I'm not sure I'd even want to change it as the german is pretty cool. Just wondering if this was something that was changed by someone at some point or something screwy with the car's computer.
Also, I know the MKV says what number your car is /5000 on the steering wheel. The MK4 doesn't show that but is that number on the car somewhere?
Golf IV R32 :: Fading Instrument Cluster At High Temperature
My instrument cluster is virtually nonreadable now when the outside temperature gets about 80 degrees. I assume the only way to correct this is to replace the whole cluster.

I was driving in the sun the other day and realized I can't read my orange information center section of the instrument cluster during the bright day.
Is this normal? It seems dull.
I saw some bulbs for the instrument cluster here:
Would these be a replacement that would fix the issue or is the orange section not using a bulb at all?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2001 - Speedometer Needle Jumps From 55 To 70 On Display?
2001 F250 SD, V10, Auto, 155K miles
While driving home from work I noticed the needle jump from around 55 to 70 on the display, then settle back in at 55 ish. First I just caught it out of the corner of my eye, but watched more closely, and it did it again as I drove. The tow/haul override button on the shifter was blinking also, (as if it was "Mad" about something)..
Then I noticed that the jump of the Speedometer needle was linked to when I changed from High to Low on the headlights, and vise-versaI was NOT in cruise mode The voltmeter did not EVER waver. (I thought that the increased current might be causing a temporary problem of sorts). Where to start looking?

View 5 RepliesToyota - 4Runner :: 1999 - Instrument Cluster Went Totally Dark
The instrument cluster on my 99 4runner went totally dark recently. All the individual lights still work such as open door, brake, check engine light, etc. My first thought was to replace the 3 lights that lights up the speedometer, tachometer, etc. Bought new lights from dealership and installed. Still dark. I'm not sure if it matters but I took them out and installed the opposite way. Still dark.
One more interesting thing. Still drove it while I was waiting for lights to come in at dealership, they had to order them. Well during that time my tail lights went out. Saw a video that confirmed I blew a fuse. Replaced fuse. That fixed tail lights but instrument cluster still dark. Is there a fuse that would only effect those three lights on the instrument cluster??
