Do you know about a tutorial of how to remove the cluster and how long would it take to do it?

Not meaning to sound like a smart azz but in electronics the only thing you look at is the packaging, everything else is verified by testing.

You would hope and something can go wrong in shipping.

two screws under the top of the dash...then pop the dash off...once u do that the cluster is held in with screws as well...should be plug and play from there

I removed the instrument cluster and opened it up and everything seems fine, I cleaned the connectors and put it back on and still doing the same thing. I think is time to hit the junkyards to see if I can find one.

Should have resoldered the pins on the pc board while you had it out.

I couldn't get to the circuit board because I didn't know how to remove the needles for the speedometer, gas, etc.. I didn't want to break them up

I looked at the soldered pins in the back of the cluster and they don't look loose or cracked, not sure how it looks on the other side because I couldn't remove the gauges panel

I used a credit card or something similar and slid it under and pried it off.

Maybe I'll try that, it is really not hard to remove the instrument cluster
