ISO opinion or solution on cluster issue.
Hey all! Ive been searching for some assistance on my 04’ CL 500 cluster, with the photo attached you can see that the OEM LCD is damaged and unreadable. And occasionally the back lighting will flicker along with the LCD itself. Should i get a mew cluster entirely? Or is there a more practical fix?

Thank you!
Thank you! Ive been waiting for a proper response for awhile now, people have been recommending a new cluster entirely or like your suggestion says. Ive been conflicted on which route to take.
while I'm here id like to ask if the computer remembers milage and will display it properly?
i did note as the season has changed the yellow part of the fuel gauge has went out. Cheers man!

Im still very much new to the do it yourself scene so this is helpful and i have looked at someone who repairs clusters but they stated something along the likes of “we don’t repair the years with a single screen lcd” and i assumed that was my year as well.
Its a 2004 CL 500.

I see. I did some research while at work and they require a special tool to unlock the cluster from the dash, its very simple but he didn’t link the website he got the tools from. Do you know the name of it?

Sorry for the late reply, i was waiting on the actual tools to arrive and they did today! I did manage to pull out the cluster but cannot find the access panel for the lcd screen specifically

If it can't be repaired or you choose not to, there's an outfit in Texas that, for around $300, you'd send them your cluster and they will take the programming off of it and use it to program a replacement cluster. Then they mail that replacement back to you. A $10 set of keys/tools to remove the cluster can be found on Ebay. A replacement cluster for the CL500 would need to be coded with your cars info so it can be validated by the shifter and ignition modules at startup. A coded replacement will show total miles on the car, which is needed for state inspection in PA, and likely other States.
