So my instrument cluster recently went dead on me. The gauges still work but the center "square" display does not light up with the temp/mpg/misc info anymore. I am told that I will need a new instrument cluster which runs from $500-800 depending on the VIN.

My question is can I replace it with an OC.T boost gauge or would I need to replace the cluster itself (dealer part only i think) and then add the OC.T boost gauge? Just trying to save some money but i feel I may not be lucky...any advice is apprecitated.

 

Did you just shut it off? Hit the switch on the bottom of the right hand stalk, see if it goes back on.
