you have 3 more of those black plastic in the lower area, right side from LCD above warning lights. Then I believe you have tiny locks around the connectors like the new ones have.

Have you removed the Dill chip under the plug mate ?

[neospeedo]

flip the cluster on its backside and peek thru the gap between the connectors and the black cover where the pin numbers are stamped on all 4 corners of each connector, you'll see them

look for two eeproms. One above the 3 black plastic i mentioned on front side of circuitboard and one located in whats called the code plug or colored socket mentioned. The mileage in both need to match or you get a tamper dot.

I hope for you that you saved the original dumps. Put them back into the chips and start again. Just write the required miles/kms into both chips using the correct program for each chip. Arthur.
