So as usual, I started a task - get my AC working - and then I got distracted with other things.
* Why aren't my dash lights working?
So while I was trying to take out my cluster, I removed the lens and tried out some plastic polish I had laying around with a foam pad in a cordless drill. It worked really good.
Before and after (test)
So I did the rest of it...
It got rid of the yellow and looks pretty darn good.
In that time, I managed to get most of the dash lights working but not the right blinker indicator, which is by far the hardest light to reach. I tried reseating it as that fixed other lights. And then I clicked the blinker and kaboom. My blinker broke.
So off to the auto parts store that actually had this in stock. It went in fine and now works so much better than before.
So finally I could work on fixing my AC...but that's another story.
