    Default VX calais triple window cluster, trip computer not working/window lights

    i have a vx calais cluster here with 100,000kms so obviously its a sort after item

    the trip computer is not working, you can see the kms showing on the dash but the lights dont light up? i've replaced the globes, still nothing?

    any ideas?

    i have quite a few clusters here for parts if need be..

    Do you have a working 3 window cluster with around 160k (or less) ?

    Or do you know how to change the odometer reading?

    I bought a 3 window cluster (works perfectly) for my VX II, but it has 298K on it whereas my car has only done 160K.

    Cheers.

    you *may* be able to wind it back with a tech2 and other factors (white back/ black back???)

    if its just the lights dead you need new lights... if its the LCDs that are dead you need a whole new cluster

    i got our mate Freddy from ASR to do it... wasn't cheap but what can you do...

    Did u replace the light's with LEd's?
    Im sure your already aware, But if you have put them in the wrong way around they wont work....Polarity has to be correct.(Led's that is)
    Have you put a multimeter on it to see if it's getting any power at all?
    Have you checked the int ill fuse?
    I have swapped quiet a few 1 window to 3 window cluster's and never have come accross this problem.
    Only ever airbag error's.
    It will be something simple.

    ok just to recap..

    the KMs shows on the dash.. so that works

    I've replaced the bulbs.. but still dosnt light up?

    where is the internal fuse? didnt know that had one

    and to answer, yes i do have a cluster with under 160,000, this one has 106,000kms but i need to get it working properly before i can sell..

    Yes it does have a fuse...under the steering wheel.
    Look at the diagram on the flip down flap, It will have something along the lines of instrement illum...something like that!
