Fogging in the Instrument Cluster
Fogging in the Instrument Cluster
I am new to the forum. I have a 2005 R1200RT. Within the instument cluster I have a hazing/fogging over the center instument panel. The speedo and tachomter are fine, just the cent panel. Did anyone else ever have this happen, and if so what is the fix? Thanks.

Found this UK company who repair dashboards, https://www.autotronics.co.uk/product/b ... ard-repair
Have emailed them a copy of the photo for some advice.

Re: Fogging in the Instrument Cluster
I went to the UK website and it looks like they posted a repair cost, it's ~ $237 and that includes shipping both ways.
Seems like a reasonable cost given that it is going across the pond, repaired and sent back.
I am going to give them a try. Will update the forum when I get the speedo cluster back. Should take 2 - 3 weeks.
This condition is called LCD fading, maybe LCD display pixelated (not sure).
Thanks again for the connection.

This is the reply I got.
"Thanks for the picture.
Looks like its had a LCD burn. Unfortunately, we don't have replacement LCDs for this type of cluster."
