a car that can't do the throttle reset.
do a search on it... its been covered a bunch of times. its really easy to do, shouldnt take you more than 5 or 10 minutes to do.

if you havne[t found anything i can give you a short tutorial. you can get the cluster out with the pull key you can purchase at the dealer for a few bucks, but if you dont' want to you can just take off the panel under the steering wheel and pull it out through there. just unscrew the screws, and stick your hand in there until you can feel the cluster, then pull the cluster out. i'm relatively skinny so i can fit my arm in between the piping, just feel around and start pushing in the general direction of the cluster. if you have a telescoping wheel, pull it outwards as far as you can so you can wiggle out the cluster. behind the cluster will be two clips, take those off, be careful becaues these are tricky, youdon't want to pull them off. find which bulb is out and go to the dealer and get a replacement. then snap everything back in, good luck
