instument cluster repair for my 02 buick century

SDE · Jun 29, 2017

The odometer display is out. I watched a video on how to replace four 150 ohm resistors, which will solve that problem. There are at least two more lights that do not show up when you turn the key to on. They are the check engine light and another that is for maintenance also. While I am doing one repair, I would like to fix them both. Can someone point me in the direction of the repair for these lights? Could it be just a couple of light bulbs that need to be replaced or will it be something else because two lights are out at the same time?
Thank you

Do yourself a favor and buy a reman cluster. They can be ordered pre programmed.

Agree. That's what I did for my 04 Silverado, from the local auto parts store.

I've seen 2-3 different companies that specialize in rebuilding instrument clusters. Google it, their prices seem reasonable...A lot of GM cars seem to need this service...

Is a reman. cluster an item that should only be ordered locally, so that you can return it if there is a problem?

The repair is actually fairly easy. Did one myself on an '04 Century (identical to your '02). Took all of 45 minutes from start to finish, including removing cluster and reinstalling it.
Not sure about the idiot lights, but I believe they are just light bulbs, possibly 194's.
