FAQs

How much does it cost to repair an instrument cluster?

At ECU Fix, instrument cluster repairs start from £150, depending on the fault and vehicle type. This includes full testing, repair, and a lifetime warranty. If your unit is listed in our catalogue, we’ll test it within 24 hours—or your repair is free.

Can you repair an instrument cluster?

Yes, we specialise in instrument cluster repair. Common issues such as faulty displays, gauge errors, or backlight failure can often be repaired quickly and affordably—no need to replace the whole unit.

Can you drive with a faulty instrument cluster?

While the car may still operate, it’s not safe or legal in many cases. If your speedometer or warning lights aren’t functioning, you risk being unable to monitor speed or engine issues—both of which can lead to MOT failure or legal penalties.

What to do if your instrument cluster is not working?

If your cluster is blank, flickering, or showing incorrect readings, we recommend removing it and sending it to us. We’ll diagnose and repair it, and most units are returned in 1–2 working days.

Can you drive a car with the instrument cluster removed?

Technically, some cars will still start and drive, but it’s unsafe and potentially illegal. Without speed or warning information, you could miss critical faults or break speed limits unintentionally.

How long does it take to repair an instrument cluster?

We repair most units within 1–2 working days. If your unit is listed in our online catalogue, it’s tested within 24 hours—or your repair is free.

What are the symptoms of a bad instrument cluster?

Common symptoms include:

  • Flickering or blank display
  • Inaccurate speed, fuel, or RPM readings
  • Stuck or dead needles
  • Warning lights not appearing
  • Backlight failure

These issues often indicate internal electrical faults we can resolve.

Can you just replace the instrument cluster?

You can, but replacement units often require coding or programming, which adds cost and complexity. Repair is faster, cheaper, and avoids compatibility issues—especially with modern vehicles.

Why do instrument clusters fail?

They can fail due to:

  • Solder joint cracks
  • Faulty capacitors
  • Voltage spikes
  • Moisture damage
  • General wear and tear over time

Fortunately, most of these issues are repairable without full replacement.

Is it illegal to have a faulty speedometer?

Yes, in the UK it’s illegal to drive with a non-functioning speedometer. If caught, you may face penalties or an MOT failure.

Will a car run without an instrument cluster?

Some vehicles will run, but many will enter a safe or limp mode, or won’t start at all. More importantly, you’ll have no visibility of critical information like speed, fuel, or engine warnings.

What happens when an instrument cluster goes bad?

You may lose gauge readings, backlighting, or warning signals. This not only creates safety issues but can also lead to MOT failures. Our repair service restores full function, backed by a lifetime warranty.

How long does it take to repair an instrument?

If you’re referring to the instrument cluster, we typically complete repairs in 1–2 working days, and catalogue units are tested within 24 hours.
