I always thought I was lucky as my air bag light never came on. Then I read this and realised it never does come on, ever. So today I had a look and this is what I found:
This cluster came out of a scrap car as I originally had the basic cluster (no computer). I still have my original cluster with a full complement of warning lights. Can I swop the lights over? Last edited by AustinMaxi; 23rd August 2020 at 10:04.. |

I've removed an led from the old cluster using a soldering iron and tweezers (and melted a lot of the plastic in the process). In order not to melt any more plastic I need to dismantle the unit further. However what is the method for removing the needles and this is preventing me from prizing the unit apart.

They just pull off with fingers but put a forked piece of old credit card underneath needles 1st to protect the inlay

Thanks,
The needles came off very easily in the end as they must have been previously tampered with. I still could not get the unit apart, so have decided to stop and re-assemble before I break something. I'll have a re-think about what to do in the meantime. |

Well, I must have spoken too soon. Its all back together in the car now, but I have somehow managed to break the petrol and temperature gauges, which no longer move.
Looks as though I will be treating myself to a replacement IPK. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I might get one coded to my car? Fortunately I can set the computer to view the range function and estimate how much petrol I have. |
