Hey all,
so while I was trouble shooting my cluster this little guy let the magic smoke out. It’s on the circuit board in the tach. Any chance anyone has a picture of it or could take a picture of it so I can see what it is to replace it? Mines a little too charred to tell....

Well I removed the offending, smouldering component and put it back together. The tach still works, so it must have been part of the circuitry for the economy meter. I'm not to worries about it... this cluster is pretty toasted anyways, the SI board batteries did a real number on all of it. I'd like to replace the entire thing, but so far the 2 used ones I've tracked down locally were in the same or worse shape and ebay seems to want ~$400 for a used one..... sigh....
