Re: instrument panel failures

We just fixed mine in my '04 last night. I did a search for stepper motors on line and bought a set of 6 for $20 and change... I believe they came through Amazon.com. Anyhow, my brother-in-law is very good with solder and he replaced to of them for me... the tach and gas gauge. Plugged it in and it worked cherry! One bit of advice for those doing it themselves... plug the cluster in once before reinstalling the needles. This sets the motors to 'zero'...

I'm very happy, haven't had a gas gauge for months.
