How To Change A Instrument Cluster In A 93-96 Fleetwood

[@tonguedarts]

Thanks for posting this and noting all the little stuff to watch out for. This helped me get mine out quickly and easily without breaking anything. I ended up re-soldering a couple points and mine came back to life.

[@thestlein]

Thanks for the vid..I didn't know it was this easy to change out I just got one from the junkyard I'm going to start grabbing them every time I see one I have a 95..

Yo don’t stop doing what Your doing , Your helping me alot with my Fleetwood

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Thanks let me know if you have any questions

[@DJb-ill219]

Happened to mine still haven't changed it out yet....but after watching this its on my checklist of things to do now Thanks be nice to have a actual gas gauge that works Lol

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Yeah it's one thing to not have a gas gauge but still have a odometer but to have nothing at all is a challenge

[@dillonfiorillo9868]

So glad I found this bro, was about to spend $300 to get mine rebuilt because I was told if you switch clusters the cars vatts system won’t let it start🤦‍♀️ but I’m now going to order one for $90 bucks an slap her in

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

I dont belive the vatts has anything to do with the cluster if it does I have got lucky 6 times and I doubt I'm that lucky.

[@tomspafford5368]

Awesome video, just about to do this on a recently purchased 96 fleetwood brougham, thank you so much sir.

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

No problem, enjoy your new ride

[@DavidPysnik]

Thanks a lot for showing this as I just wanted access to the telltale lights. I got to where the cluster was coming out, but I wasn't brave enough to just pull on it lest I break something. Thanks to you, I know it's just an electrical connector that'll come out with some extra force and jostling. The tidbit about the mileage is helpful as well. I actually own two 1995 Fleetwood Broughams, one I've had for 18 years and the other I bought two years ago (both with no dashboard cracks!). The more recent one shows really high mileage, but the car looks and feels like it's much lower and mechanics I've talked to cannot believe it has what the odometer says. I was curious if the mileage was stored in the car or in the cluster, and you answered that question I've had for the last couple years as well! Thanks again!

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Those sound like some sweet cars that pretty crazy to have two with no cracks in the dash!

[@leonpatton1892]

Clean bro I’m thinking about doing my 94

[@volvotwoseries3384]

Awesome thank you for posting this. I just need to change a couple bulbs out myself. Have you ever had a cluster rebuilt for one of these to keep the mileage accurate?

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

I have not I may take the old one apart and see what I can do

[@carsandmoods3593]

I had mine repaired. And I kept the mileage. Took mine to a repair service.

[@nickz210]

​@@carsandmoods3593 how much was it? Mine just went out.

[@loulowrider2566]

Hey Dan, I appreciate you doing this how to videos because I do most of my own repairs on my cadillac's. How do I go about replacing the wire or string on the shifter indicator? My broke off and I've tried different ways how to fix it but continues to break? Any suggestions would be great or even a tutorial on that would be awesome. Thanks

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Are you talking about where it clips to the steering column

[@loulowrider2566]

No my broke in the middle.

[@loulowrider2566]

Another words the string broke in half. I tried gluing it together but with the tension it breaks off.

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Maybe solder it I would almost suggest a butt connector but dont think it would hold

[@tonyrose823]

I like this one good info

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Thanks its something ever Fleetwood owner will have to do sooner or later

[@AvenueBMA]

I love your help

[@briancraig81]

Mines comes and goes. I can tap the front with my fingers and it will come back. Sometimes only a couple minutes, sometimes a day. I used to fly over railroad tracks. Do you think the connector just needs to be re-seated?

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Could be on the start if going out the one in my tan Fleetwood would not work and you could hit the dash pad and it would start working then eventually gave up and stopped working all together

[@DARKNESS0525]

Thank you

[@anthonymaestas4863]

Thanks for the video.

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

No problem I hope it helped

[@anthonymaestas4863]

[@carguysnewengland]

Probably bad solder in the cluster... Ford had a big issue on the Town Cars with the digital clusters going out from bad solder

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Yeah I believe that is what the problem usually is I came across a guy that rebuilt them but I dont remember who it was otherwise I would have mentioned him

[@isabeldutchover7706]

Do you happen to know if this is common for the Fleetwood hearse as well? My cluster is out, all fuses are good, i have replaced the timer, it works when I mess with the sentinel timer then goes black again! Also will a regular Fleetwood fit the hearse? TY any help is appreciated

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Yes as long as it's a 93-96 Fleetwood all those cluster will work worst case scenario if you cant get it to work right you could always sell me or even give me your hurse!

[@clarenceperdue1638]

This is a great video. If anyone is desiring to buy a 96 Fleetwood Brougham, I have one for sale.

[@anishanand3705]

Hello sir I have a 95 Fleetwood and the cluster is completely out. does it matter from 93-96 or do I need to match a number to the cluster?? Thank you

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Dosnt matter across the years they are the same

[@anishanand3705]

@@thecadillacdanshow8658 thank you. On eBay there are so many saying that I have to match the number and do not just order any cluster based on your year caddy. I thank you sir for clearing that up. Need to find me another one asap. Cheers to the weekend.

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

@@anishanand3705 I got mine from Mario Shorts Simmons on Facebook he had it shipped to me in just a few days I have bought a few things from him

[@tywilliams7711]

On a 94 does the brain need programming if the cluster is replaced

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

No it does not but the milage will stay with what ever the cluster is

[@tywilliams7711]

Do you know of an upgrade aftermarket digital dash (Dakota, Holley efi, etc..) that has a direct fit ent for a 1994 fleetwood??

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

I dont I would think a holley could be installed fairly easily

[@LuisCarlos-id7ur]

Can you do a video on the A/c module ,fuse location ,I had my friend helping me with the stereo and now the display on the A/c module is not turning on 🤣 need help

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

I will see what I can do I have a fuse door laying around here somewhere

You only collect 93's and up??

I like pretty much all the rwd cadillacs I have a 90ed coupe that I was working on but it has been on the back burner for years

[@AvenueBMA]

I need to talk to you soon

[@toneking6682]

Is there a fuse

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Yes there probably is...I didnt look for it I have seen this problem many times. But a smart person would check the fuse first

[@carsandmoods3593]

How the hell do you get the shifter cable off? Mine is glued onto a plastic tube on the column shift. You didn't show how to get the cable off?

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

I usually use a flat head screwdriver and just push the clip off the column it just clips on

You can use a roadmaster head unit also it will take some modifications to make it fit but it will also allow more controls for where the air comes out of the vents!
