you also MIGHT need to switch some wires on the harness. I installed mine and the right turn signal lit up when the rear defroster turned on. Correct it by following the traces back to the terminal and referencing the new cluster to the old. switch the wires as necessary.

the whole thing should take 10-15 minutes, even with the minor rewiring.
There's only 5 screws to the back of speedo.

So you got a 01 cluster. Switching wires is required when putting a 98-00 cluster into a 01-02 or vice versa. Even that may not completely fix everything. Some soldering on the gauge itself may be required.
