you can pull the insturment cluster fuse but i don't know if there is a way to disable it without doing the same to the speedo

My friend is painting my whole cluster up for me like the one he did in his truck, but I still need to drive to wrk for the next 3 days... I just want to make sure I dont break anything before I even get it out :/

Yeah the gauge cluster just unbolts once you get the trim ring off. there are a couple of connectors and bulbs that need to be undone in back, it's pretty easy really. doesnt take much more than 20 minutes.

taking out the gauge cluster and still drining wont cause any problems will it?

i got a better idea...put a blindfold on and just floor it :burnout:


Driving without cluster sounds like a bad idea to me :thumbdwn:

Just wait for a long weekend or see if family member can loan you a car for a few days if you need it done that badly. That's what i'd do

I'd like to see the look on the cop's face when he sees you've got not guages whatsoever....

I just want my odo to work again. Mine just stopped on my 96 XLT.

If your speedo works, but your odo doesn't, then it's probably an actual gauge problem. I'd pull it off and see if you can see anything loose/broken.

Is that difficult to do? I've never pulled that stuff apart on either one of my X's.
