99 frc Instrument Cluser Problem....
Hi guys I have a 99 Corvette and for some reason my spedometer just stopped working on me and the mileage isnt working either. When I first start the car all the gauges sweep as normal and everything works EXCEPT the spedometer and mileage. I changed my speed sensor and I know that is working correctly because when I put on cruise control it shows the MPH digitally. Do you guys think the cluster is bad?
If the cluster is bad can a dealer reprogram a used instrument cluster? Or is there a way to have it reprogrammed? If not is there anything I can switch over from my bad cluster to the used cluster to make my mileage correct?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

The dealer cannot reprogram I have tried...There is a company called Advanced electronics remanufacturing technologies, http://www.aertech.com, they quoted me $66.67 plus shipping and it would take 2 days. They need the old and the new cluster to do this.

I thought I read somewhere that you can switch the board out for the mileage. Does anyone know anything about this?

If you find out which part of the board stores the mileage, keep me in the loop 
I went through this last year and nobody had an answer for me either. I had a problem with the amp for the speaker in the DIC

Well I found a place that will reprogram the mileage. They are called Specmo and they are in Michigan. They quoted me $85.00 to reprogram it and $10 for return shipping. BUT I am kind of worried. If AER cant do it I dont see how Specmo can.....Hmmmm
