Indicator Bypass - on Instrument cluster
Price Exclusive of GST
Our minimum assessment fee is $150 + GST (Excluding Headlights) this just covers the time to check the unit over. If you go ahead with the repair, we’ll put this towards the total cost. Our full terms of trade is the link can be found here
In some clusters, we’ve observed backlighting failures caused not by the LEDs themselves,
but by a failed processor output inside the instrument cluster.
Interestingly, the manufacturers have designed these systems so the illumination signal enters the cluster as a digital high/low input, which is then processed before driving the LEDs. When the processor output fails, it can’t complete the circuit, even though the input signal is perfectly fine.
To resolve this, we’ve developed an in-house control solution:
We intercept the input signal and re-route it through our own custom circuitry to directly switch the LED lighting—bypassing the failed internal processor output entirely.
This allows us to restore full illumination function without replacing the entire module, keeping your original cluster intact and saving on unnecessary costs.
