If your car does not have the same/similar problems of its own, the clearing of the old faults should remove the lights...

Was the "new" IKE compatible with your car? I.e, is the new IKE same level cluster that you had before? there are HIGH and LOW clusters, there are M clusters (the "is" ones), some programmed in miles, some in kms, some programmed for whatever language... some items can be remedied by the programming, like the language, land, even the VIN, some can not be changed, like the oil temp reader on "is" vs. MPG reader on regular cluster...

many variables involved...
Well you seem to be the closest mate,
the instrument cluster was a direct same model replacement ( 4.6is),
Everything works spot on just as you say those problems which the lights are on were from the old vehicle.
What is IKE ??
+tamper dot ?

Thanks.
