Default Re: Broken speedometer needle

If you GENTLY remove the needle, and place it slightly above zero you can force an auto reset (if it does not do it when you turn the key... don't think it will).

All you do is: remove the 2 hex bolts on the middle (inst cluster trim), loosen the right hex bolt on the left (near the driver's door) and remove. Note that the cluster trim goes under the center panel trim and the left side vent trim.

You will NOT need to remove the 2 screws inside the instrument 'hood' (at least on an '03). Be careful with the dash trim clips, but you can just pull the trim off.

Then, detach the 4 7mm bolts to loosen the cluster and unplug the wiring harness from the back. As soon as you plug that back in you will hear the motors 'turn' and calibrate the needles.

Good luck
