Hypothesis: What if the clusters really aren't faulty?

There is something very wrong with the Clusters. Mine went into the......
immobilize mode and I couldn't start the car. I had to have it towed to the dealership. Of course, I also had the dancing instruments. Change the Cluster and everything is fine.

Correct, but the cluster may be only ONE of the weak links in the system...
What about the windows rolling up and then down, the radio coming on and never going off, the coil packs, the MAF...
BTW, be sure and try Dim Sum if you're getting into duck. Hi, Bryan!

I think I know what you're getting at....
