With a bit of time and patience, you can do the whole NCS Expert by yourself too. There are many guides out there on how to safely use this software. Here is one such guide that I personally follow:

thank you for all your help anando! i must say, that is a bit intimidating! i may give it a shot. i was able to figure out PA Soft when initially i didn't think i could, anything is possible!
update on the cluster: the left pin is not working. i assume this is due to age, but whatever the case, i guess i'm gonna have to pull the cluster and try to adjust the positioning of the pin/sensor so they make contact. i wanted to run the cluster test (opt. 2) and the radiator temp (opt. 7.1), but no dice.
i could have sworn that the left pin was working when i got the car. i remember resetting the trip odo. perhaps the shop pulled the cluster when they were running diagnostics for the chimes etc, and messed up the positioning? i pulled the rubber cover and it still would not work.
if that doesn't work, not sure what to do. i really don't want to try to source a used ZHP cluster. besides won't that result in tamper dot?
No it doesn't. It feels very stiff and will not click.
Ah. You may find this of interest.

^ so after further reading i decided against the paperclip method. i don't want to jerry-rig my car ghetto style. thanks for the link though, that is some good info.
i got in touch with the guy who is parting out my salvaged ZHP and bought the cluster off my old car. $95 shipped, figure that's not a bad deal plus i'll get a backup gauge face and other associated parts. i may just do an outright swap and not worry about tamper dot. who cares.
i am still gonna pull the cluster today or some point this week and try to see if i can fix it. in that case i'll just mount my old cluster in the man cave as a decoration piece/token of remembrance LOL
Umm... wat? Didn't you just contradict yourself? lolQuote:

Tamper dot = ghetto style
Seems that you like doing things right, so you might as well go the extra mile... Perhaps you can ask Terra if he can program the mileage to match. Doubt he'd have the time, but it's worth the shot...
