Review on ACDelco D1523H Original Equipment Instrument by George Halbohm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality - easy to replace

I bought this brand from SMP because it was significantly cheaper and for good reason another brand lasted a week. Most of the time I drive at night and the other brand has always felt hot to the touch, not too hot just in the "this is wrong" area. Well the parts store changed it for me and the SMP replacement failed in a day. That's why I bought ACDelco. Almost two months have passed, not a single problem, nothing is heated. Although ACDelco contracts with other manufacturers to manufacture their products, they (unlike other brands) have at least some quality control. Screwdriver. The front of your dash is held only by clips and they are easy to remove (be careful on the bottom of the steering column as they hold a little tighter than the rest. Insert the key and turn it to the 'on' position "). . (but do not start the car), put the gear selector in 1st gear, then pull, pull, remove the front of the dashboard. the wire harness and the clips holding it to the front panel. Then put the new one in, reconnect the harness/plug and put the bezel back in place and you are good to go. Just remember you have other items attached to it such as charge light, airbag on/off, 4WD selector switch (electronic only) etc, so don't yank at it, you just have to push it out enough to hide behind it can to exchange them. : Disconnect the battery (not necessary for this IMO, but better safe than fried) Do: Activate the car's electronic brake. Do: Don't forget to turn off the key and put it back in the park.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
