dash cluster question?

[dynomite619]

so i had an issue of a fuse blowing out and ended taking it to the dealership and they ended up find a wire grounding out but at the time i had put a higher fuse amp and end up shorting my dash, i have decline repair at the dealer to replace the dash cluster.i took it apart try see any burnt or and indication i can find to replace what needs to be done have it working but didnt see anything unusual so i have found a dash cluster on ebay looks just alike the one i have will that dash cluster work or there a part number i need look for or they all the same i have a 2016 subaru brz.

Did some research that if u get a used dash cluster you would have to get it program or clone to the other one

If you have a push button start car the dash clusters are swap and go.


If you have a key start you will need dealer to re sync security before car will start again

Yes I have push start button . And the car starts without the dash cluster . And I gave it to the dealer so they can program the cluster and 2 process of programming the car .

You don't need dealer if your car is push button start, just plug in new cluster and your good to go no resync or programming required.

I plug in the new one and it does the same thing as the old one ? Like the gauges don’t turn on it displays nothing . Why is that

So I came to a conclusion what it was due to the high input of fuse . I burnt a lead line on the fuse box /main body at this moment I’m doing repairs to the leads and install a jumper .I’m upset knowing what the dealer ship did who knows what the heck the fix they said they fix a wire touching metal And move it too the side . If this is the problem to everything I may need have talk to them wanna know what they repair exactly. they did not fix my problem and wanted me buy a new dash etc ...

Your car blows a 7.5A fuse. You put in a new fuse, and that also blew. Then you put in a 15A fuse, and continued to drive the car until even that fuse blew...

...and now you want to pin electrical issues on the dealership? Dude, what the fuck.

I Know you probalby already learned this but you never us a larger fuse to troubleshoot.

You should use a paper clip. That way the entire wire smokes and is easy to find.

the dealership wanted charge me 1,400 for a dash cluster and i now remember that they fix the issue with a wire grounding out but they came to a problem where there wasnt power going to the cluster and thats what they though it was a dash cluster but i wasnt gunna pay that price for it so i declined the repair and bought a dash cluster plug it in and nothing happen no guages no power so i took over and decide pull out the fuse main and took it apart and discover a burnt circuit and that what happens when u put a higher fuse in it lmao u burn a circuit but if i didnt find the problem the dealership would took weeks finding it when i found it myself first try ops learn my lesson
