in the future, searching will usually get you your answer faster

sorry … dealt with it it is just a code 17 my vss … no big deal i think i will buy a new cluster after i replace the vss haha … yeah i was going to look it all up in my manual but couldnt find it but i found it a little after i posted this

no prob, glad to see you figured it out

And you probably don’t need a new cluster, the VSS cable probably just pulled loose from the receptor at the back of the cluster.

i just want one lol
