I think I have an electrical issue that is beyond simple cluster repair

Keep them if they still work.

For those who have a stuck needle, you have to pull the cluster out and remove the smoked cover. Then just gently push the needle to the correct location.

I drove my car from Charlotte to Duluth, GA and had someone take out the instrument cluster, replace all the bulbs/capacitors, reinstall instrument cluster and now all the lights/gauges on the instrument panel work great, the gas gauge works, the radio/AC-Heat and console shifter lights work. I am not mechanically inclined so to have all this done for $225 with a guarantee was great. The whole process took less than two hours. Electronic Master Repair in Duluth, GA. Call Nahed at 678-957-0686.

Also if your lights work on your Radio or AC/Heater work but they are getting to hard to read (darker) you need to have these repaired. I'm going to drive back down to get the AC/Heater done when I get may tax check. Although the lights work fine, they are getting tough to read.

Good Luck

Bill
