If they're rebuilding them anyway can't they calibrate the mileage to whatever your mileage is?

Even if they don't give you your original cluster back if they can calibrate everything else in the durn thing you'd think they could fiddle with the mileage.

oh goody today i went out for a ride and i decided to use my horn since someone decided to cut me off the horn didnt work and made the radio go crazy

I pulled over checked the fuses and the horn fuse was hot and melted it didnt blow

any ways i decided to put a 10 amp the original was a 20 the 10 amp started to heat up also

TIME TO Dig into the dash can my luck get any more f***ed up


Edit Im getting 12 volts in the fuse box when i insert the fuse it sparks . can the cluster be causing this ? also where is the horn relay ?


Edit: I found the relay and its not that i checked the cig lighter and its not that either

looked under the hood every thing looks fine . Can the cluster be causing this ? if i remove it would the truck be drivable ? till i get a replacement


EDIT:
Ok guys i found the problem the cluster was shorting out the horn dome lights radio and my rear hatch i took the cluster out and now it starts with out a cluster but hooray for the fix and no fires Now for the funds for the replacement

yikes. Mine never did that. it just died. I drove around without a cluster for a while. BUT if i were you,id put it back in,just dont plug it on. if you get pulled over and a cop sees you without a speedometer you may get a ticket for it.
