Re: I'll check it sometime next time the cluster comes out

Thanks for the advice though.
Just a word of advice in the future...disconnect the battery whenever you perform any service to your vehicle...especially electrically-related repairs!

I know it's a pain to yank that ground cable off and have to reset the radio just to replace a fuse, but you've already experienced what potential damage you can cause without even trying...

..some of these components ain't cheap!
