Tampered with instrument cluster

So when I bought my clapped out hooptie I knew it would have stuff wrong. What's fucked up though is the PO gooped in some black silicon into the leds in the instrument cluster to hide more problems. I mean.....why? He disclosed that the tranny was not working. (It is now btw)

Anyway, that's some shady sh*t. New cluster is in and working fine, so now all those warning ights are on. Lol

Nothing I can't properly fix anyway. A walk in the park.

Also.... how do you put pics in? Who uses urls anymore?

It sucks when people do stupid things to cars.

For images, I use:

You need to put the https: and the .png extension on the image you upload there.

Example: from the current brake pad discussion I posted.

I think Premier members can post images more easily.

I use tapatalk to auto size photos right from the phone I used to take them.

My wife is like rainman when it comes to a light on the dash. She makes me turn off cruise when I'm not actively using it because the extra light on the dash.

I have had to put tape over certain icons when I'm waiting for parts so she doesn't go nuts. Might be a similar situation. (or P. PO).

Still quite shady. I'd have mentioned it.
