Default 2002 Gauge cluster

To make a long story short Ive been haveing a problem with my cluster where a few of my lights wouldnt work so got a new one and now they all work fine. But my new problem is my AIR BAG light and ABS light are stuck on. I know its because neither one works. (air bags or ABS) Is there a way i can make those lights go out with out popping the bulbs. Thanks for the help ahead of time.

Maybe he got a new one because it was easier?

Have the dealer setup the new cluster with a Tech2. If you leave the cluster in long enough it should sync itself shouldn't it?

how is it easier you have to take it out either way, and the lights on the back just twist and they come right now, but if they wouldnt work with new bulbs was the question i was really gettin at.

Because if you have ever taken apart a gauge cluster you will see what im talking about. The lights that light up the warning lights are soldered into the circuit board. PLUS when i had it apart i saw 2 deep scratches through the circuit board itself, that went right threw a 2 circuits. So this is why i replaced it. Obviously what i did worked, now i just want to get thoses 2 lights turned off. So if anyone can help me on those issues it will be appreciated. Thanks you.

yes i have taken the cluster out and changed the color of the bulbs and i know what you are talking about but you didnt specify which lights. i dont know how you would get those lights turned off and i dont think tuning would have any effect on those lights, possibly run it to the dealership and see what they could do is the best bet.
