more than likeley this is not a instrument cluster problem, it is probably a cold solder in the engine control module. this is a common thing in this year car(i have a 97 sebring convertible myself). the instrument cluster removal is as follows.... remove the radio trim bezel. remove all screws that attach the dash bezel pull off your cabin fusebox cover. unscrew the screw holding the dash cluster on. lift from the bottom and turn it upwards. there are four clips that hold down the backside but they should just pull out. your dash cluster should be fully exposed. unscrew the mounting screws and turn the back upward. unhook the connectors by pushing the tabs and then pulling outwards. installation.. as always is reverse of removal. when you put the dash back on you have to set it on the wheel and turn the front upwards to clear the steering wheel.
Usually in the instrument cluster.
Most likely the cluster is failing.
In the instrument cluster, usually at the bottom half of the speedo.
To repair the tachometer and odometer on a 1997 Chrysler Sebring, first check the vehicle's fuses and wiring for any damage or disconnections. If these are intact, you may need to remove the instrument cluster by unscrewing it and carefully disconnecting the wiring harness. Inspect the circuit board for any faulty solder joints or components, and replace or resolder them as necessary. If the issue persists, consider replacing the entire instrument cluster or consulting a professional for further diagnosis.
If only the odometer is going blank, the cluster assembly is failing.
To swap the odometer head on a 1996 Jeep Cherokee instrument cluster, first, remove the instrument cluster by unscrewing the screws securing it and carefully pulling it out of the dashboard. Next, detach the cluster's wiring harness and remove the screws holding the odometer head in place. Replace the old odometer head with the new one, ensuring it is properly seated, then reassemble the cluster and reconnect the wiring harness before reinstalling it in the dashboard. Be sure to check that the odometer functions correctly after the swap.
The cluster is the part that includes the speedo, odometer, fuel gauge, etc...
you cant you have to swap out the whole instrument cluster. I just had the same problem with mine.
That is illegal. Do not doit!Actually you often have to do it when you are replacing an instrument cluster with a salvaged one. Otherwise you'd have the salvaged vehicle's odometer.
Replace the instrument cluster and have someone set the odometer correctly or you could face jail time.
