This literrly too me around 15 sec to get off JBO...

8. Cluster swaps?
I'm not very well-versed on this subject either, but I'm gonna do my best with the information that I've found in a quick search.

First things first, 99- have a theftlock issue. Instructions here are courtesy of KickAzz98z:

Seriously, this is the way to get around it, the theftlock must be reprogrammed, and this is how:
1. Start the car and let it die. The theftlock light will be on, DO NOT TURN THE KEY OFF, OR OPEN ANY DOORS, OR TURN ON ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. Just fold your hands under your arms and wait 10-15 minutes...
2. After the car stalls, the theftlock light will blink. wait until it stops blinking.
3. Wait 1 minute after it stops blinking.
4. Turn the key to off, wait 10 seconds, then start the car again.
You may have to do this 3 times for it to work correctly.


2000+ clusters cannot be swapped with 1999- clusters (this is due to the BCM).
You can switch through 96-98 if they are mechanical, and 98-99 if they are digital. Apparently these are plug and play, but sometimes you have to find a cluster from the same year as your car to work properly (this is a quote from a previous post).

Click the interrior subforum..Fact at the top of the page.. Scroll down to # 8... there ya go. See, searching is fun, easy, and the right thing to do! (sarcasism)

According to that it is only the 99 and below cavys that you have to worry about with the theft system. bh04 doesn't have to worry about it then....it should be plug and play for him as it was for me.

Also I never go to JBO, so I didn't bother to go find out what you were talking about because I had no need to. It worked for me so I wasn't going to complain or dig too deep into it.
