There are three possible combinations for replacing the instrument cluster/light switch cluster:
^ Instrument cluster faulty, light switch cluster OK
^ Light switch cluster faulty, instrument cluster OK
^ Light switch cluster and instrument cluster must be replaced
Simultaneous replacement of the light switch cluster and the instrument cluster must be avoided. The odometer reading will be lost. In principle it is also possible to carry out a trial replacement of the instrument cluster/light switch cluster.
