gauge cluster swap how to correct odometer? I have a few questions. Fried my stock gauge cluster. Have a new one now, but the mileage is off. Is the board that has a lot of pins and is a big electronic chip attached to the board where the odometer is stored? I can unsolder it and resolder it to the new board if need be. any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Was replacing bulbs with LED's, and I guess one of the LED terminals must've touched something it shouldn't have OR I forgot to unplug battery before putting cluster back in, dunno, when I was pushing cluster in, it sparked then I saw smoke and smelled burning smell, pulled out took apart, and saw the runs, burned and popped up. Reconnected the runs with some wire (Soldered wires in place of runs--used to do pcb repair) and couldn't get it working right, so bought new one, and now mileage is off..

i had to replace a instrument cluster in a car, and i had to take the new cluster to a special shop that adjusted the miles for me, cost 100 or so, but it had to be an authorized odometer shop.
