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

 

[surreyford]

not worried

can i just pull the plug out the back of the gauhe cluster?? I gave a 99 xlt

 

[Billy177]

why do you need to do this

because

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 :/

so u are taking the cluster out and still driving the truck for 3 days???

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.

odometer plug

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

 

[NOTAJP]

Just don't get pulled over.

 

[LOGJOCKY]

not if u dont care how fast ur going, how much gas u have left, what ur rpms are...etc

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


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

not to mention that unplugging your odometer is a felony!!

 

[TJM623]

I still like my idea better...

 

[LOGJOCKY]

lol

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

 

[TJM623]

Better yet I'd like to see the mess in his pants

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.
