A. Common symptoms of motor failure are: Dead or sticky gauges, Gauges giving obviously wrong readings, Needles “pegging out” or showing maximum readings, Intermittent operation of gauges, and Speedometer that read roughly half or even double the actual vehicle speed. Obviously, this situation can lead to potential speeding tickets. Even unsafe conditions if the driver is startled at the incorrect reading while driving. Commonly, fuel gauge failure has led to drivers being stranded along the road as they attempt to measure their fuel by miles driven on the odometer.
First, you can consider buying a used cluster assembly from a salvage yard or “junkyard”. Be aware, however, you must have the mileage programmed from the dealer and all used gauge cluster/speedometer/ instrument panel will have the same defective parts and will also fail in time. Also with this option, some of your upgraded options may not work. (Steering controls, radio, etc.)
Second, you can take your vehicle to the local dealership. They will replace the entire part with a price tag between $400 and $800 with an extended downtime of at least 1-2 weeks. Keep in mind this option is probably not under a warranty period.
Third, you can have your original gauge cluster/speedometer/instrument panel repaired by a professional repair business. The best for many vehicle owners as it requires no re-programming fees, little or no downtime, and the least overall cost of all the options available.
