Hey Hummer
guess what . Its plug and play !!! no soldering needed.Let me say this.
I have CONFIRMED the statement that you CAN NOT direct swap the instrument cluster. Even if the replacement is in the same VIN Range.
I obtained a nice looking full cluster from a VIN B11xxxx mine is B15xxxx. Direct swapped. Car would not even come on. Swap back, all is fine. WOW.
Im sure somewhere in somebodys mind this makes sense. The BCM and PCM should hold the important info. Why in the world lock out the car with a simple Readout Swap.
Any Way.
After disassembling the donor Cluster , removing the center screen and installing it in my cluster, took 30 minutes. It WORKED I can actually see the Center Screen , Color ME happy.
OLD
NEW
AND YES , the Speedo Needle is 5 mph Off , Ill go In and reset it later. Im just tickled this improvement is off the scale

If you consider yourself capable of disassembling the cluster and soldering a new display that’s one solution. The other’s getting a new cluster and either have the main dealer program it or get and learn how to use SDD to program a new one.

Center Cluster
Does anyone know if you can just get teh center cluster?
Or is it part of the speedo cluster and can be separated?
I need the center cluster and have the same issue with the center touch screen.
