I think if you disconnect the battery it will reset. If that doesn't work you should be able to disconnect the cluster and then reconnect it without the key on and it should clear.

Here is the method for clearing the Airbag light.

Your diagnostic port is under the hood on the right side, but the method is exactly the same.

How did I find this info? I did a search.

ive done this several times with no problems.
pull the ecu fuse for 5 min
or
remove the negative terminal off the battery for 15 min.
plus you get the chance to drive like a bat outta hell(yes they drive lex) and the car tunes accordingly.

great writup, im enjoying my lextech cluster.
people pace me on the hwy to check it out. its funny.

What about replacing the bulbs with leds in your ash tray as well as shift console while your doing your cluster so everything matches? Any idea on the led part #'s for these? Also, whats with calibrating the needles once you put them back on if they have tabs so they go right back where they came from? Thanks!

Patience patience! Could be that no one has the answer, or they've been busy with other facets of their lives besides hanging around here all the time.
As far as LEDs for the ashtray and shift console are concerned, I haven't read anything about that idea on here. Why don't you be the first? Do the research, get the parts, and post the DIY.
Not sure what you mean by "tabs" for the needles.

Someone posted that they had to calibrate their gauges after removing the needles and someone else asked why when they have "tabs" so that they go back where you removed them from and no one has answered yet is all. I love the sire and info by the way!

Oooohhh....cool blue! Nice!
Yeah, nighttime shots are always harder to get unless you have a tripod to put your camera on.

Yeah, there's only so much you can do with a camera in a cell phone. Zoom in, too close = blurry....zoom out, too far = can't read the speeds

I couldn't (or wouldn't ) have done this without you Lexucan. The step by step instructions you provided were Awesome! I followed your originals back in July or August, but the revision you made recently with coloring/detailing should allow anyone to do this. Great Job! Thanks!!!

ps You may want to say in the DIY after "try entering 286 LED (or) 74 LED into the e-bay search box" to look for seller warden_jp2002. And, also suggest people buy "10pcs 286 74 37 T5 Twist Lock Wedge Base." Buying these for like $3-$5 makes this job a lot simpler than someone breaking the factory LED's. Just my thoughts...
