ohh snap i broke my gas and temperature needle cluster (installing indglo white face gauges)....anyone knows how much would it cost to repair the whole cluster ......my whole speedometer aint working right so i decided to go to the dealer and let them fix it......

i just want to know how much would it cost so i dont get ripped from the dealership.

would it help if i buy the needle or i have to buy new cluster? damn i am depress

 

i thought this thread was about a needle gauge that was depressed and broke ?? *insert laughter here*

anyway, what year accord do you drive? 4 cyl or v6?

 

4 cly 95 accord

 

you're gonna have to get a new one. i would say get one from the junkyard or ebay, sometimes you could find one in fs/wtt section.

u can go to dmv and they have a form u have to fill out, so they can keep track of your exact mileage

 

the dealer when they repalce it just put a sticker on the door that says the milage then u add whats on the new one... i also think it has to be reported to the dmv

you could just buy a whole gauge cluster unscrew the cover off, then unsrew the gas and temp gauge. do the same with your cluster and switch your broken ones with the new ones. do you get it? i hope i didnt confuse you, lemme know if you want to clarify it

 

opps...disregard what i just typed. i forgot your odomter wasn't workin either.

 

odometer is working good but for the RPm i think i could fix it sticking at 4000Rpm maybe something is sticking out of the needle.....i think i could go on your idea buy new cluster and unhook the temp and gas and put in my original cluster so i dont have the problem for the milleage.

is it easy to unhook the gauge cluster ???? never done it before .......but i will save a lot of money rather than going to honda dealership.

thanks

 

its quite tricky. i remember somebody did a detailed write up on how to remove the cluster, just do a search. i'm not really good on explaining things.

 

i can remove thw whole cluster but i dont know on how to remove the temperature and gas gauges from the new cluster.

is there a how to guide?

PS: also i can buy a cheap one in ebay but have more milleage (save more money) replacing the temp and gas (if i know how to do it) OR should i just buy a lower milleage cluster with hgher price and i dont have to worry about removing the gauges from the cluster.

which one should be the best deal?
