You most likely went ahead of yourself, therefore you messed up. Opening the cluster will not cause it to break. The procedure you used to open it probably did.
So what procedure will you use? It might help to fix mine.
^It's plug and play, but the oil temperature gauge won't work. Also the LED gear indicator won't display which gear you're in if you're in sport mode - it will just show "M" (as in "manual" mode on the IS-F).
to take off the cluster, u first take the 2 screws on the top, then u remove the trim below the start button (it has the traction button on)..do the same for the other side (it helps if the doors open)...then there should be a screw on each side behind the trim, use a flashlight to find them and use a long philips, just make sure u dont drop the screw..when the bezel is removed, u wiggle the cluster out..there should be a clip on the top so use ur fingers to unclip it...once u get it out, make sure ur steering wheel is all the way down and out..then unplug and slide the panel face down out the side facing the door (make sure the doors open)
Sorry to revive an old thread, but does anyone have pictures for removing the trim under the start button? Do I just use a flat head to remove it? I need to remove the trim bezel to the instrument cluster. Thanks in advance!
