Doh ... thanks Paul! (Yes, after looking at the white connector, it's soldered to the cluster, isn't it)

Now, I'm trying to carefully pry that reddish-brown plug from the LCD itself, but ... it's not obvious to me how do that. I'm using a plastic prybar (for dash pieces) and I can't seem to wedge it anywhere. If that's where it comes off, then I'll just try a little more force ...
I have a few hemostats in my "kit" which come in handy for things like extracting and inserting stuff in tight quarters; that connector for one.

Lucky I just happen to have an IP cluster board sitting on a table next to me when I read your post (doesn't everyone??).
