Instrument cluster failure
My outside temp. gauge no longer shows anything and my gear selection gauge looks like its getting ready to go also. Every now and again the middle screen gets stuck and I can't switch through the options. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do?

Honestly don't know....haven't had to do mine.
Do a search here on the forums, perhaps a part number or price will be listed. All else fails, call your dealer for a quote.

I called my dealer for you....$1,670+, but needs a VIN to make sure the right part gets ordered (he advised over 20 options for the cluster alone!).
Price does not include programming mileage, etc.
P.S. I saw a thread where a forum member had replaced just the fuse for the instrument cluster. Don't know if it cured the problem. I'll see if I can dig up the thread for you.

Replace the cluster. the fuse will not fix anything that
problem is mainly on 220 and 215 even then it is a temp. repair and will fail
again you need a cluster the fuse blows for a reason and gaurentee there is nothing wrong with your fuse also the cluster i warr. for a year i think unlimted miles
