Drive without instrument cluster?

I’m hoping to send my instrument cluster to circuit board medic soon. Is it possible to drive without the cluster until I receive it back? I’m hoping to get it fixed prior to a family road trip but I don’t have a spare vehicle to use.

I believe so, I’ve done it, just use your gps to monitor your speed and keep your tank top off You should be fine

I’ve got the intermittent issue of windows, radio, interior lights not working and would like to get it fixed. I’ve read another thread with replies that they can fix the cluster better than new. I’m checking to ensure the vehicle starts and runs with the cluster removed for the week or so I would be waiting for my cluster to return.

Let me re-phrase that... It depends on what vehicle you're you're working on...

The truck will start, run, and drive. Your charging system will be inoperative so your range will limited by battery capacity. When the batteries die, so will the truck.
