Default Defective Cluster ..ANYONE USE THIS CO.

Year 2008

Dealer ran diagnostics and said I need a new cluster and everything I did seems to point to they may be right.

Has anyone used this company for cluster repairs. D & D Instruments out of Minneapolis, MN 55413. Their price seems fair. $249.00 includes UPS both ways. If for some reason they can't repair the cluster there is a $60 bench charge. I was assured they work on my year of Corvette cluster even though the year is not listed on their website.

You can view their website here and if you have any thoughts, they would be appreciated. http://ddinstruments.com/auto-cluster-repair/

No info for that company, but US Speedo has changed out some gage cluster faces for C6 members in the past. Their site says that they repair as well.

I'll check them out too. Still trying to decide if it is the cluster. Going to work on it some more today. I just can't get over how it worked 10 straight times in a row and next morning didn't work.

more later, Thanks again

Did you check the pins for the connectors at both ends to make sure that one isn't pushed in, or bent?
Good Luck with this one.
