Quick cluster question

[Clacker]

Can the VS be started and moved short distances without the Level 2 (that has tacho right?) attached?

If not, can it be easily reattached so it's drivable but able to be removed easily?

Planning on taking it apart tonight to check the cog as odo is busted but need to move her tomorrow.

Thanks

How far are you moving it? - But yes it will run OK as far as I know. You can also just slip it back into the 3 dash plugs.

Thanks, just out of the garage.

If it has airbags and you start the engine without the dash installed it will log a airbag fault that only can be removed by a dealer unfortunately...which is what happened to me.

As hako said, dont remove the instrument cluster and start the car. There are heaps of threads around of guys that are wanting to know how to clear the Air Bag Light because they have done what you are going to do, with the only solution being to pay someone with a tech1 scantool (usually the holden dealer) to have the fault light cleared.

Thanks.

What about starting/driving the car with surround (headlight/AC/hazard buttons) removed? Any idea if that is ok?

Car will start but your indicators wont work. You can remove the dash and reconnect the switches back so that everything will work normally.

or just push it out of the garage with the help of a friend or two.
