Whats the huge pic for?
Anyway, there is only one way to fix it, its to take the cluster apart and replace the little LED's that are behind the display. I would recommend trying to find a new cluster though, its incredibly easy to destroy the cluster if you don't know what you are doing, just taking the needles off could render it a paperwieght.

Sorry about the pic. it wasn't supossed to come out like that.
Yeah, I tried to take the cluster apart yesterday, but the needles were holding it on. I had heard before that somebody took the needles off and destroyed the cluster.
You guys are awesome. Will I see any of you at NOPI at Gateway International here in STL in July?
Dont try pulling the needles off......you WILL break it.....Basically the cluster needs to be replaced.....Mine has done the same thing....Its a throw away item and GM knows that this is a common problem

NO! smack the top of the dash a few times, and it should come on
its a common problem, with a common solution.

I guess i'll try smaking the dash first (since it is the cheapest way) and if it don't work then i'll go get a new one. Thanks for your help!
I just back hand the top of the dash and then works fine for a couple weeks.

Well, i tried smacking the dash. It didn't work. So i'm off to the junk yard later today.
i took the needles off of my 2002 cavalier cluster. and it works fine. my odometer went out though. but no biggy to me. ill fix it some time.
yeah i just replaced my sunfire cluster that i had in my cav today...because the odometer stopped working
had my needles off too, to put on my black cat gauge overlay, and everything is fine on mine.
HOLY BACK FROM THE DEAD BATMAN.....lol 2 years ago
