He calls me and says hes 98% sure if they put a new Cluster guage in, that it will take care of the problem. The battery guage on the cluster does not work, all other guages do. He tells me that since the battery guage doesnt work, that when the computer tries to tell it the alternator that it needs to be charging, the message is not getting through, because of the battery guage not working. something about the stepper motor or something - I dont know. Anyway he convinced me to get a new cluster, the price is like $335 for the part, I told them to go ahead and do it. So Monday they are going to put that in and then drive it for a couple days, he says he wants to be 100% sure it is fixed before they give it back to me. Do you guys have any opinion on whether you think this will do the trick? thanks so much!
