Repairing Gauge Cluster
Hi everyone. My speedometer, fuel gauge and temp gauge all decided to go crazy all at once. I have read a lot in the forum about some different options to send off and have them repaired. Could anyone give advice o fixing this? Also, can I drive the car without the gauge cluster? I can't be without my car for a week while the gauges get fixed. Thanks!

my advice is to check your ECU for leaking capacitors.

one of the symptoms of ECU needing new capacitors is a wacky gauge cluster. it is also most common on first gen 90-94 models!

ECU Capacitors are not some magical cure-all. they will not cause issues with the cluster.
OP- yes your car will run fine without your cluster, just make sure you figure out a way to stay at a safe speed when it's missing.

what i understood is that his cluster isn't reading properly. i know the flickering LEDs are a different issue altogether so i suppose "going crazy" could mean flickering LEDs .

You can drive without the cluster but i have heard that you will have a warning light on when you reinstall it. I don't remember if it is the airbag light or not.
Darryl Geller in Atlanta does excellent work on clusters and ECU's. He is a technician at a Lexus dealer in Atlanta.
Don't send it to BBA Remanufacturing as they will mess it up. I learned the hard way.
Darryl Geller(404) 550-7511. He also has listings on eBay.
Good luck!
