Will another one work

[freeway29]

Hi All and a merry Xmas.
My son inlaw has a VR STATESMAN V6 and the speedo **** it self going all over the place and cant find another one so going to get it repaired but going to take awhile. What i want to know will another one fit in until he gets it fixed like a normal vr one just have to have the speedo ,temp and fuel working on it let me know thanks.

ask yourself... how much it cost to repair... compared to buying a replacement one off ebay...
(ive seen them go for under $100)

ANY VN-VP cluster is interchangeable...

ANY VR-VS cluster is interchangeable...

Regardless of the level...

BUT.... VN-VP clusters will NOT fit VR-VS ... and vice-versa... different wiring = bang!!!

All that concerns you is the km's on the ODO... Trying to get a new one that is the same... (or very close)

Good luck!

Just get yourself another cluster, must be a v6 one, then swap over the trip computer blocks, this way you can retain the KMs on the odo

Agreed... and a great idea about the trip cumputer block! *thumbsup*

also remember to carefully unplug the ribbon cable that is connected to the trip block on the under side/bottom of the cluster before taking the block out

the speedo going all over the place if its a level 3 digi dash dosnt mean that its the cluster its self.......if you mean the speedo its self going up then down and all over the place?>then the prob may lay inside the gear box itself>?not a costly fix if its what i may think it could be? ive forgotten what parts needed to go into the g.box to make he speedo act normal>>>>ill get back to you when i remember

bad earth could do it too.

Speedo cable is binding up and letting go, take it out and lubricate it. may be this,,,chwck all options before you replace the cluster
