Hi. I'm new here and looking for help. My instrument cluster died. None of the clocks work. I've read in other forums that a lot of people are having the same problem with the VDO. Any sugestions? :|

First of all, welcome!

Second, yes it's a known problem. First solution is to check and then double check all of your ground connections. From there search VDO in the forums, grab your favorite beverage and plan to read for a while. LOTS of info on the subject here. Simple solution is to replace.

First off, what model number and year is the boat? It matters.

And are you talking about a dash that has separate gauges or a car-like instrument panel? If it's separate gauges, are all of them failing to show values, or just the clock? What about the night time backlighting, is that out too?

It's important to provide details when asking questions.

Hard to imagine someone trolling just for VDO clock issues, but y'never know.
