[QUOTE="jarance, post: 63237, member: 21"] Yes it is possible. to do it just follow the instruction below. 1. open the instrument cluster. 2. Locate the battery in the board. 3. mark the postive and and the negative terminals. 4. Desolder the battery. 5. Solder the wires ( red colour to the positive and black to the negative) 6. Make a small hole on the instrument cluster for the wires to come out. 7. solder the positive of the battery to the red wire and the negative to the black wire. BTW, my advise is to just swap the old battery with the new battery because it is not so difficult to remove the instrument cluster. Furtermore the battery last a long time (say about 5 years or more). To open the instrument after 5 years is not so inconvient.. :P :) [/QUOTE]
