Gauge Cluster Repair

I did this to mine. I laid the gage cluster face down and gently pulled straight up on the PCB. The needles are the only thing holding it in place. I resoldered all of the connector solders. When I was finished I gently lowered the PCB back and pushed the stepper motors back into the needles and screwed the PCB back down. It has been perfect for over 2 years now.

I was careful not to bump the housing while it was apart so the the needles would stay in place and this worked fine. I did not have to cut off the clear front or mess with re applying RTV to seal it.

Ill see if I can find pictures and add those.
