This stupid "improved software" HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU DO A MULTI QUOTE!!!!!???@Q?!??!??!?!?!
Anyhow, what are your question(s) about the cluster? You can follow the cluster just be looking at the "shadow" of the traces on the board.
If you post a good clear photo of the rear of yours, I can walk you through it
Here are the troubles I found with mine:
Several pins were broken/ loose at the cluster harness connector. In my case I abandoned that one, and soldered pigtails to the board traces, then use Molex connectors.
There's an excellent thread on repairing them:
Printed circuit pins repair
Also, my contact fingers for the IVR were not making contact with the board traces. I had to solder jumpers across from the contact fingers to the board traces, also addressed in the link above
A couple of my gauge stud nuts were loose/ corroded, and I replaced the nuts, then tighten/ loosen the nuts 2-3 times to scrub the terminals clean
The IVR was bad, replaced with an aftermarket solid state one.
Clean (eraser, etc) the board under where the lamp sockets make contact, they become corroded and oxidized
Clean/ bend the lamp socket contact fingers for better contact, replace sockets as necessary, and bulbs
Also on mine I converted from ammeter to voltmeter as in this abosolutely excellent thread. Read all the pages, it covers a number of cluster types
Ammeter to Voltmeter...who does it?
Last, ADD A GROUND pigtail from the cluster ground point and bolt it to either the dash frame or the column support
