Discussion thread Instrument cluster died

Instrument cluster stopped working.

Left my 2016 indian scout in the garage for two months while away on a trip. I know water damage to the circuit board is a common problem for this group of years and I did definitely see the lense get condensation under it a few times but being left in the garage working I'm skeptical that it is a short vs corrosion. Checked all the fuses and nothing blew

Regardless I would like to upgrade to a better instrument cluster that will be less likely to have these problems, but it looks like it's really only compatible with other indian clusters from the same year so I'm not sure what to do cuz I don't want to buy one that will have the same problem.

Out in the boonies where I am mice are a REAL problem. Lost the wiring on an F150 pickup truck, a couple wires to a sensor on my ol lady's Cherokee, the wiring harness on my bike trailer and the harness on a skid steer not to mention a hundred other non-electrical things damaged. And I have ~ a dozen cats....lazy, useless, probably over fed cats.

No damage to either bike yet. The war goes nuclear if that happens.

I hate those meeses to pieces

Nah multimetered it and I think it has to be water damage in the instrument cluster
