What's wrong with my digital speedometer?

[healthservices]

I had this issue on my red car and two months later it started getting better. Now you cannot tell it ever had that issue. Whats up with that?

Particlewave, I'd love to see a write up on how to replace the LCDs. I'm sitting on a 996 cluster that has all three LCD delaminated. I'd love to be able to swap my 986 LCDs into the 996 cluster but every tech I talk to says it can't be done without all kinds of special equipment. SHOW US HOW and we will owe you big time.
Thanks, Reebuck1

If Particleweave can provide an easy method for swapping the lcd's that would be great.

However there is another way to accomplish the same result. What you need to do is swap the entire board with the lcd's from your 986 cluster to the 996 cluster and then program the 986 board to think that it is a 996. You can actually swap the board and everything except the voltmeter will work fine without the programming. There may also be a speedometer error. The only special equipment you need is an EPROM programmer and a clip to attach it: http://www.amazon.com/GQ-4X-Universal-EPROM-programmer-full/dp/B009N9HHL4
