the servo motors on the 03 up clusters are notorious for dying. I got mine replaced a the dealer for free with 50000 miles on the odo. Just complain some, and let them know that you know its a common problem.

I can replace the stepper motors for you. There are two kinds, the same king that you have and a newer updated style that is fixed to not have the same problems.

Old ones for $23 each
Or new ones for $28 each

Not including return shipping

PM me for details

yeah I had a problem similar to this as mine would go out for a night and then the next day or even later in the Day it would work.

I had mine fully rebuilt and converted to Escy Platinum status...........

Stepper motors were all flaked out. Loud clicking and barely worked.
