    One more connector.

    The Calais has the digital dash, which has an extra electrical plug for the trip computer.

    This plug goes in the bottom of the cluster, and needs to be removed first. Method is the lower under dash cover and reach up. This connector is on the right underside of the cluster as you look at it.
