You have mail. The odo. is replaceable, IF needed.

 

Here it is months later, the cluster has only reset once, but also no ODO, Outside temp, or Trip meter. Just as before, if the ODO doesn't work, it doesn't seem to have an issue, except for the one time, while raining again. Has anyone learned anything about how to fix this? Thanks.

 

For over a year now, no problems with the "Demons" in the cluster! And believe me I had a bunch of 'em. The ONE thing that actually seemed to make the difference (after having the cluster out 4 times and spending several hours examining with a 10X headset) and finding absolutely nothing visible at all, I tore the cluster completely apart. Meaning the needles, face and ODO LCD. The removal of the ODO LCD and the faint tweeking of the long tails on it was the ONLY thing I did differently the last time. But it did the job. There is a lot more that goes THROUGH that LCD than any of use even imagine that has NOTHING to do with the display in that window. I am convinced that when the A/C would shut down (both compressor AND fan and LED on the A/C button) and I in frustration flat hand slapped the dash obove the cluster on the R side, that it was jarring the connections from the LCD to the board and returned things to normal. It always worked (flat hand slap) and obviously since having that OUT and faintly tweeking the "walrus teeth" on it, the entire cluster has been back to normal. There is no reason to see why the A/C signal would run through that, but I am sure it does! I have actually figured out the next step IF I ever had problems again.

 

^^ Two slaps?

If it's contact-related, you could try a product called Stabilant.

 

Already been down that road. It actually progressed over 3 or 4 months to the point where it would sometimes take 2. I decided 2 was the limit lest they called the white-coats on me for beating up on my defenseless dash. Nope, nothing I tried before, but hoping I never have to try the "the next step". I've cut way back on my BOLD, just for you. Happy now? Do I care? Nah, probably not.

BTW, what is Stabilant? You the distributor for it? JK, I already have a good stock of it, couple cases.

 

I had the same problem(s). Turned out to be a faulty ABS module. The ABS module is part of the C.A.N., so, when the ABS module went out, the C.A.N. went down, and that's what took out the, tach, A/C, etc.
For me, the problem was intermittent initially, but got progressively worse until it was constant . . . no tach, no A/C, etc.
About a month after I had the new ABS module installed, the ABS warning light started coming on intermittently. Now the light is on constantly, so it's time to take it back to the shop . . .
Many thanks to code58 for all of his help.
