Also the head lamp goes on when I start the engine. Checked battery, yes was dead. Took battery for recharge. Battery okay now but when I fix the battery I still face the same problem. Please advise.

Hello,

this is common when the cluster shorts out and needs to be replaced with a rebuilt unit. I have included the instructions of the instrument cluster remove in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Hi Ken, Thank you for the reply. Took your advise and got a used cluster, fixed it and everything seems back to normal, including the head lamp. Everything is fine except there is a display shows this alert message " Visit Workshop! Display Faulty!". Please advise.
