Dear soldja8,

Hope you're well. I do not think so. The alternator receives a "kick-start" from an indicator lamp, at the bottom edge of the instrument cluster. With the cluster removed, the alternator won't start to charge. It would not be a good idea to start the car, and then remove the cluster, while the engine is running.

It would be better to remove the speedometer from the cluster, put the cluster back into its place, and then drive the car. A car can be driven with a malfunctionging/non-working speedomenter. I had to do that, as the speedo failed, while I was driving.

The best course would be to drive to the speedo repair place, pull the cluster once you get there, and have the speedo experts remove the speedo from the cluster. You can then put back into the dash, the cluster (minus the speedometer, which I presume cannot be fixed "while you wait").

It does not matter onto which of the two prongs, the small black connector is placed.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
