Sure. Seems like a great option at least for those living in US, but I'm afraid shipping would be too costly from Northern Europe.

Thanks, tried it a few times. It does run through a systems check were it displays the error messages on the display. Unfortunately it does nothing to the blinking key light that indicates the immobilizer is activated.

The only information he gave me was what I mentioned. It sounded like the modules were soldered components on the board, and I have no idea where they were, although I would assume they are close in proximity to the CEL and EPC lights.

The car was parted out 2 years ago, and the instrument cluster was still working perfectly when I sold it.

Ok, thanks. Next step for me is finding a suitable cluster replacement and try it out.
