A few years ago the buttons for defrost, rear defrost would show dim light. Then in the last year the digital read out for information, temperature and MPG would go out and the temperature would go to 90 degrees and blower would be on high. So I removed the gauge cluster and found the wire bundle from the buttons to the right hand side of gauge cluster would not stay connected. So I put shim in to keep the connection tight. It was good for three days and now the blower stays on even with ignition shut off. I have pulled fuses no help and have to disconnect battery shut off blower. Any thoughts on this?

Hello,

It sounds like the cluster is going out which is common for these cars. Here is a video showing how to remove a cluster to send to to be rebuilt. It sounds like you must do the same. The video is not the same car but the procedure is the same we have diagrams below that show your car.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
