Chris, let's get a group buy going on a center display rebuild. I'm tired of spending money on new gauge cluster when it keeps breaking on me.

Ah I see. Another example of a cause for the 3 tones is when you forget to plug in the coolant level connector

I bought an aftermarket LCD display from kompressed/reflected ($45 shipped) for a spare cluster I have. That cluster's screen isn't doing so hot and I plan to DIY the screen install. If I'm successful, keep in mind that we're pretty local...
