I had the same issue I removed the speedo from the cluster and took it to
my mechanic by the time I had walked the length of the van away he had
where I was going I said home, he said give a couple more minutes you can
take this with you. The fix took him a couple of minutes so I can't believe
its that complicated a procedure. Makes me wish I had been watching but I
thought it was going to be involved and time consuming.
