    My daughter's 2005 has a SPEEDOMETER that is blank and a FUEL GAUGE and GEAR SELECTOR DISPLAY that blink alternately.

    I repaired the original COMBO MULTIMETER by replacing the capacitors but the problem continued.

    Then I replaced it with a used COMBO MULTIMETER from the wrecking yard but the problem continued.

    So I paid $370 at the Toyota dealership and was told I need a new COMBO MULTIMETER (see the attached pages)

    So I bought a rebuilt/repaired one from eBay with the exact mileage programmed but the same problem continues

    What do I do next?

    Where you've written down values That's what you actually have versus the text saying what you should have then below that you get to the NG replace the harness and connector or whatever it says I'm not looking at it right now so that's your next step I do believe should you decide to take that step let me ask you this? Are these combination meters you're all using out of essentially the same year model car obviously you can't mix the '04 5 with the six to nine year models. So none of this stuff has been butchered up and we're using the wrong things in any of it? If not then it looks like the harness and connector that go to the combination meter by looking to be suspect or whatever controls or sends out the electrical to that harness and connector could be a problem which I haven't looked through all the paperwork I guess body control module possibly?
