My son has a 2003 Durango. He recently tried to get his emissions tested and was rejected because the "check engine" light is not functioning. I knew that it wasn't working, and had planned to fix it, but just had not gotten around to it.
So, I took apart the dash and pulled out the cluster board,,,i was expecting to be able to replace with $2 light bulb...but,what i found was that the bulb(s) for many of the gauges that light up when starting the car are actually soldered to the cluster board...I called my Dodge dealer and they say the boards cannot be repaired, i have to buy a new one for $900...Can this be? Is there not any way to fix that bulb?
Aside from the fact that we now realize the person we bought the Durango from, vandalized this car to avoid making a repair...i now might have to pay $900 just to pass emmissions, for a car that is running fine!!
