Default gauges ?

So. It's official. All of my factory gauges are DEAD. None of them work. Not evan my odometer. Which means... well you know. So what to do. I really don't want to install all single gauges in the dash. Does anybody know anything about replacements or have any ideas. :beer:

Never heard of gauge clusters going bad.
Get a new cluster.

yea why go through the trouble by changing a circuit board? just go on ebay and find a cluster that has a tach and buy it, simple bolt in procedure.

right, Only is that legal.?? I mean it's like changing the miles on the car. Not that it bothers me that much, cause I could set them on the new cluster. But Yeah I found some JDM gauges that would be cool. Totally different than anyone in my nieghborhood.

i dont know the legalities of it but thats your best bet. the jdm ones are teh hottness but the thing is they are all in kilometers so you would need to convert that stuff in your head. like you would need to change your oil like every 4900km. 5000km is 3100 miles so give or take a few.

:thinking: right. That'd be cool tho. I got used to converting while I was in Kuwait. The Japanese gave our military like hundreds of Pajeros, for use in Kuwaits cities. Thier little contribution to the coalition. But yeah I've thought a lot about that. And I truly like the idea. But it's a little expensive. Thanks for the info.
