Cluster F**ked

Ok last night i jumped my car because i left the keys on the ON postition and it killed my battery...i had my dad jump my car, which worked...while i was driving down the road i noticed that my speedometer was at 90mph and my tach was around the redline,when i was going with traffic at a 45MPH speed zone...my gas meter says i have 3 quarters of a tank and i only have 110 miles till empty. they all work and move but it seems like they are %70 higher than they should be at...

So you either fried the cluster or fried something like the BCM.

I would buy a new cluster from someone on here and try it. If it's not that then you need to probably take it to the dealer to get it fixed.

Just don't tell them what you did cause jumping the car can void the electrical system warranty.

(just try it)

1. Reset the system again by unplugging the battery for 15 mins
2. Try a different cluster, Make sure to get an 05-06 or 07+ cluster depending on your year.

Then good luck.

When you stop, do they fall to 0 or are they a certain amount above normal?

The white gauges are nice, look sharp. They are black numbers with white background in daylight but change to white numbers with almost black background at night. I will not even consider changing mine to anything else.
