ThatTallCanadian Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Wow thank you for bumping this, probably would've never found it otherwise... Once payday rolls around I am thinking of doing this myself... I read most of the thread except for maybe 2 pages? Just got a couple questions if you don't mind! 1. Did you have to remove the steering wheel airbag to get more access to the buttons? 2. (may be a dumb one) But did you disconnect the battery before pulling of the cluster and all that jazz? 3. What did you use for the blue overlay on your odometer and P R N D 3 2 1 screens? I LOVE the difference that made on em (yes I creeped your photobucket ) I wanna do that to my climate control and possibly radio as well! Also, how easy is it to do the soldering? I plan on picking up a test gauge cluster to practice on first. Edited December 1, 2010 by ThatTallCanadian (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the way to tell is after you pull you ac apart plug it back in and hold the led to the connection. And it will light up when correct, keep in mid that on the hvac units the leds are in sequence so if one is not right all of them in that sequence Wont work.
