Re: Digital Dash broken, odometer?

It's actually being purchased at a dealer type auction. The cluster is broken and it looks like someone attempted to steal the passenger side airbag. I got a great deal on it. I'm going to spend this weekend trying to fix the IP. We'll see if I can get it working, unsure the reason for it being broken right now. I just was curious if the odometer info was stored somewhere else. I'll just have to wait to see if I can get the instrument panel fixed this weekend.

What specifically is wrong with the IP other than just being broken?
