I tried some junk yards for you today, including the one I got mine from, but so far no luck

well luckily this is not time sensitive so any time it's found it'll be ok- my dealer will reset the odo btw to match my ECU so I'm good to go when I find the part. Thanks for your help Mike- I do think these are hard to find but I'll keep at it because I just don't care for the aftermarket look- as nicely as some have done it, it's just not my style.

At least your dealer agreed to reset the ODO. I just called mine and was told they can't do it, that they're programmed from directly from Toyota. What a bunch of BS. Oh well, I guess I'll have to live with the lower mileage on the new cluster!

if you can get to Crystal Toyota in Greenbrook you'll be ok Mike

don't know where you are in our fair state

:-)

MGargano · 08-21-2009, 11:26 AM

Hmm not sure where that is. I'm in Middletown, which is central NJ, close to Sandy Hook area.

Lewis · 08-21-2009, 11:28 AM

Green Brook is Somerset county 5 miles from the county seat in Somerville on route 22

the humor of this situation strikes me today- you have the cluster and i have a dealer to reset the odo- between us we could do one car properly

LOL

MGargano · 08-21-2009, 11:33 AM

LOL. Looks like that dealer's about 40 minutes from me. I'll have to give them a call.

I did get my car there so that might have helped me with this issue- They fussed a bit about it before relenting- just like they did before shutting off my seatbelt chime via their computer hookup.

Good luck- they seem a bit better than most dealers to work with.

MGargano · 08-21-2009, 11:37 AM

Any idea who you talked to? After getting transferred to three different people, I was told they can't do it either.

Lewis · 08-21-2009, 11:42 AM

It was a middle aged guy- forgot his name- the service manager.

I think your best bet is to just show up there- and ask for the manager- it'll take 5 minutes for them to do it if they agree. The damn thing is that's the way I got their ok - phone was hopeless- when I thought the crook who sold me the cluster I just returned sold me one with a tach- and it had no tach after all.

Yes. AFAIK all the "S"'s are automatics and the cluster has a gear indicator display in the lower right corner.

Lewis · 08-21-2009, 01:03 PM

there's a thread on the Board that says the manual/auto is interchangeable post 2007- but of cause there's the issue of the lights - PDRL

Lewis · 08-21-2009, 01:06 PM

i believe/hope that on a stick the PDRL lights just don't light up?
