Why Have Your Instrument Cluster Repaired By ISS Automotive?

Most commonly, you'll see signs like flickering or dim backlighting, inaccurate or non-functional gauges, intermittent power loss, or total power failure. If you notice any of these issues, it's time to consider a professional inspection and repair. Check out this post to learn about 5 common cluster problems that may help you decide if the issue is small or large.

Cluster removal is something most any DIYer can do. You only need a little mechanical knowledge and a few common tools. The steps generally include:

• Disconnect the car battery.
• Removing the plastic bezel that contains the cluster and joins it with the dashboard.
• Removing the additional screws that hold the cluster in place within the dash.
• Detach all wires and cables - be careful not to damage any of the connectors.

We offer several specialized guides on cluster removal in our blog. Specifically, check out this post on cluster removal for many Chevy models. Additionally, we always recommend you take photos along the way to be sure you get the new cluster installed exactly as the old one was.

To re-install your instrument cluster, you simply reverse the procedure used for removal. Locate all the wires and cables and re-connected them to the new cluster. Secure the cluster with screws and then re-install the plastic bezel. Connect the car battery and test the instrument cluster, its responsiveness, features, and accuracy. You'll receive complete written instructions with your cluster as well. We're also available if you have questions - call us at 800-548-1195 or contact us online - we're happy to help.

However, we do not address/correct cosmetic flaws or damage on your cluster. Your instrument cluster will still have the same scratches and scuffs it had when you sent it to us. We are not responsible for items damaged before reaching our facility. Be sure to prevent damage by carefully wrapping your whole cluster in bubble wrap.
