The instrument cluster on a ls1 car that I bought is bad..How much are these instrument clusters and were can I find one?Any help is Appreciated..

 

There is only one place to get a cluster from, the dealer! Cost is about $300, you can put it in yourself but you will have to take it back to the dealer to have them sinc it with your ECU. If you get one from a junk yard, it may or may not work and you will still have to take it to the dealer. Choice is yours, I had to buy a new cluster and wholesale it cost me $245. Good luck.

 

Bad meaning what?

Well my buddy said there was a short or something inside.Also the back light bulbs were burned out.

 

Does the speed cluster have to be from the Same year?

it shows around 4 k miles auction at 40 bucks reserve not met

im guessing it will sell for 100

 

Darn....Too bad its for a Camaro.

 

oh what do u need it for........i assumed u had a maro

 

But I have no idea what it would run outright.

In Houston, mine is a company called Zener - I had problems with tyhe "fixed" one installed by the dealer.

The dealer did not care to help me, so I went direct - Zener tested my old one, agreed that the gauge readinsg were off, and gave me another reman that was so clean it looked like brand new !!

I did , however, have to have the PCM reprogrammed to recognize the new cluster as my Air Bag warning light would not go off.


It's worth a shot - Good Luck !

Rob, if the cluster goes crazy and the trip resets after you start the car there's a TSB about this problem, I don't know about the lights but if you're just having problem with the trip resetting it's self I'd leave it alone unless it can be replaced under the TSB. Another thing that can cause the cluster to have problems is a weak battery.

 

Dark,What is the TSB thing you are talking about?Also my Mileage screen doesn't come up.I can live with out that or even if I were to pick up a used one with the incorrect mileage would be okay

 

RobZ, Technical Service Bulletin, these are issued to the dealers when the manufacture finds there may be a problem with a part. It's not a recall so the company doesn't need to let you know of the problem, in my opinion there's been enough of these problems that it should be a recall.

 

what car is this from?????

not camaro......
