Repairing L3 cluster

savage1987 · #1 07-10-2008, 10:28 AM

Can the LCD windows in the L3 dash cluster be replaced individually? How do I go about tracking them down??

Bought a cluster with a couple of dodgy screens (blotchy) and not too sure how to go about fixing it up. Also, can I swap any sort of BT1 speedo across to the L3 cluster or do they all have the odometer cutouts?

L2 & L3 are not compatable at all.

Yes you can change the LCD's but they will need to be the same "slot"

ie left side for a left side....

Basicly you will need to get a L3 cluster with a working trip computer. High kms with dead gauges - try ebay.

VN any single screen will swap.

For VQ/VP/VR/VS you will need to change all the screens (bigger/thicker numbers)

I also have a few spare in the shed - but cant remember what was what or if they had bleeds in them. I'll have a look in the morning in the good light - see what I have.

sometimes they just need a good clean or re aligned ive found and they can b pretty touchy lol i think theres an alcohole based substance that u can use on em? but if they have any bleeding then they r no good.

Also while u got it appart change them 2 LEDs u'll b doin urself a favour.

I don't mean to hijack your thread, although I purchased another L3 Cluster off eBay because I 'thought' my original was broken.

The right screen hardly lights up at night, can I simply switch this one screen with the one that was on my original cluster?

Cheers,
Chris
