Gauge Cluster Printed Circuit Replacement.
The LutzAuto Instrument Cluster Printed Circuit Board Replacement is a precision-engineered solution designed to permanently resolve common electrical failures in the Porsche 944 instrument cluster.
From the factory, Porsche 944 dashboards relied on a flexible printed circuit foil to distribute power and signals to the gauges, warning lights, and cluster illumination. Over time, this foil becomes brittle due to heat exposure, material aging, and repeated handling during maintenance. Cracked traces and poor conductivity result in erratic gauge behavior, flickering illumination, and intermittent or complete instrument cluster failure.
The LTZ-94464196101 eliminates these issues by replacing the fragile original flex foil with a modern, rigid printed circuit board (PCB). Manufactured to precise OEM dimensions and electrical specifications, this upgraded board restores stable electrical connections throughout the cluster while offering significantly improved durability and long-term reliability.
Designed as a direct-fit replacement, the board installs cleanly into the original instrument cluster housing with no permanent modifications required. It preserves the factory appearance of the dashboard while delivering modern electrical reliability—making it ideal for restorations, daily-driven classics, and preventative maintenance alike.
Engineered and manufactured by LutzAuto, this replacement PCB provides a professional-grade solution to one of the Porsche 944’s most well-known dashboard failure points.

Gauge Cluster Printed Circuit Replacement.
The LutzAuto Instrument Cluster Printed Circuit Board Replacement is a precision-engineered solution designed to permanently correct common electrical failures in the Porsche 928 instrument cluster for model years 1985–1988.
From the factory, these clusters relied on a flexible printed circuit foil mounted behind the gauges. Over time, heat exposure, age-related material degradation, and repeated handling cause the original foil to become brittle, crack, or lose conductivity. This results in erratic gauges, failed warning lights, flickering illumination, and intermittent or total cluster malfunction. Repairing the original flex circuit is rarely reliable or long-lasting.
This LutzAuto replacement eliminates those issues by replacing the fragile flex foil with a modern, rigid printed circuit board (PCB). Manufactured to exact OEM dimensions and electrical specifications, the board restores stable power distribution and signal integrity to all gauges, warning indicators, and cluster lighting while dramatically improving durability.
Designed as a direct-fit replacement, this installs into the original instrument cluster housing with no permanent modifications required. It preserves the factory appearance of the dashboard while delivering modern electrical reliability—making it ideal for restorations, daily-driven classics, and preventative maintenance alike.
