The gauge cluster is one of the most complicated and delicate pieces of electronics in a vehicle having a multitude of gauges, displays and circuits. This combination of moving parts, displays and circuitry makes it a common point of failure in vehicles. It is also susceptible to fire and flood damage and theft.
Repair or Cloning:
If you have a faulty or damaged gauge cluster, we always recommend trying to repair the original as a first option. If the unit cannot be repaired, the next best option is to clone a replacement cluster from the original. We can clone most clusters even in cases of flood or fire damage, but the part number of the replacement would need to be identical to the original.
Programming:
If the original unit is unrepairable and cloning is not an option either because a replacement unit of the same part number is not available or the original unit is no longer present, then programming it to reflect the true mileage of the vehicle is the next best option. However, there a few thing to know before proceeding with programming:
Legal:
Programming the odometer on a part to match the true mileage of the vehicle is legal, as long you are not misrepresenting the true mileage of the vehicle. Here are a couple helpful links to information that will help you understand U.S. odometer laws regarding service and sale of vehicles:
