Another excellent video.....good comments....clear and steady video. I don't think you need the music because it's a bit annoying and interferes with your verbal directions. Thanks for helping us. Tim in Colorado

[@harrisonadams6563]

Great video brother! Thanks for keeping it informative and yet straight to the main points!

[@jang6969]

Thanks for sharing. I'm more confident now to remove my dash cluster. 👍 🇨🇦

[@markwatson2006]

DIY Brian: Great instructional video. It got even greater when you knocked off the crappy music near the end.

Hi Bri, I have a 2007 Pontiac Montana SV6 & need help with replacing a bulb behind the instrument cluster.
Thanks Daryle

[@davidadams3606]

I ask how to get wiring from under dash and from the cluster to the Block panel before going out on to Firewall

[@richardragusa9093]

Brian what suggestions do you have for getting the blower for AC/Heat up and running? I already changed the relay that is above the glove box. Is it hard to change out the actual blower motor. Great Video.

[@jrock019770]

Is the repair the same for manual shift gmc odometer not lighting up?

[@MaxEndle55]

Did you happen to see what they named the truck?

[@williamclark6704]

Is this the same for Chevy Express Vans i have a 2002 and needa replace the bulbs on the cluster and climate control module there all pretty much burnt out

[@Oldmannobody]

I'm thinking of doing this to my 97 Tahoe. What all is involved after the installation? Any programming of the CPU and/ or legal issues do to incorrect mileage. I'm not selling it ever (its a 2 door lol). Just curious, thanks.

[@TheSleepingonit]

Thank you for the video so is it possible just to disconnect a couple warning lights? I have a short in the brake warning and seat belt lights, brake warning flashes and beeps constantly if my Silverado isn't stopped

[@beebop7552]

Great time to clear the dust from the front cover.

[@benbrylski4043]

I have a chevy spark 2013, how do you remove the the bottom facial on the dash

[@MrHewilson2]

Brian. I have a 1985 Chevy G30 van. As I understand it, they were all essentially the same from '68 though '96 but from '97 onward, Chevy trucks and vans have substantially different. Any tips on accessing the instrument cluster on an '85 G30? Thanks.

[@raulmpereziii1868]

What size socket man??

[@kristopherhasenbuhler5393]

How long does this take in total?

[@johnwhitehead3992]

Hi, there away to put in an after market stereo and still control with the steering wheel?

In case you haven't figured this out yet, yes, there is. But you would need to buy an adapter for it.

[@richardragusa9093]

I forgot to mention that the repairs need to be made on a 1998 GMC Sierra 1500 Pick up.

[@badranger2004]

Isn't it bad to disconnect the cluster while the power is on

[@doityourselfbri]

+badranger2004 On some makes and models like the Toyota it can cause some issues...However 06 and older GM you are OK.

[@benbrylski4043]

need to remove wire harness, from the airbag controller up into the dash

[@davidadams3606]

I didn't ask how to remove Cluster panel

great video

[@dalelewis7803]

great xideo

[@oldnavy1653]

I would of thought to disconnect the battery first to eliminate battery drain.

[@julianburke1738]

Don't you think it would be a very good idea to turn the key switch off before removing the plug to the instrument cluster? You did not cover this point and removing plug with power on can do irreparable damage to the instrument cluster.
