Re: Gauge Cluster Experts Needed... (VW-BMW)
The buzzer thing on my clusters are on the outside of the cluster, but attached....it is on an L shaped circuit board, like 3 or 5 pins that stab into the cluster contacts on the printed circuit sheet....and then like 2 plastic clips and one small screw, IIRC. I did see one cluster that had the thing inside...lemme look for it....hmmm.
OK....I found an old MFA cluster in my closet, took it apart. The buzzer L shaped board IS inside the unit, wrapping around the top and side of the speedo. On my non-MFA clusters, the board is on the outside of the cluster, no need to remove 8 hex/phillip head screws, and it is on the top and side of the tach.
Also, it isn't a speaker, but a square metal thing, with exposed wrapping of super thin copper wire. I played with one before, it just makes a electromagnetic field, and a bar inside this square cage slams back and forth very fast, making the loud BUZZ you can almost feel in the steering wheel
On the MFA cluster I just took apart, the buzzer is just below the white worm gear on the odo...look under the circuit board there http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
