I'm trying to find someone to send my Instrument Cluster for repair. It's an '88 Corvette. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Call Gordon Killebrew, 1-615-654-2864 or 1-800-F-Y-VETTE, he's the Guru and will tell you the best place to get it fixed.

BTW, what is it doing? Alot of times it's a simple ground or connection problem.

Contact Jim Adams at Vettesport. He will sell the LCD displays so you can repair it yourself or he will repair it for you.
I bought all three LCD's from him. He is honest and fair.

Default Dash cluster

Those dash clusters are easy to repair if it's a non-electronic repair. If it's the power supply, etc, easier to have some one knowledgeable fix it. If it's the LCD, very easy to do. Just buy the part off of Jim Adams and follow his instructions. One caution, the edges on those LCD's are EXTREMELY fragile, when you seat the LCD be sure it seats correctly.They should seat absolutely flush with the plastic frame. Mine didn't and following Jim's instructions I spent time putting the LCD in and out until I found a small sliver of glass from the old broken LCD caught on the inside edge of the frame. Also, replace all 7 bulbs. Cheap enough. I went with lower wattage since the higher wattage seamed to be scorching the pcb.
