I purchased 5 of the D1062 transistors for 7 bucks shipped on EBay from a vendor in China. I should have them in about 12 days or so, then we'll see if a new transistor will bring this pricey module back to life for cheap. Stay tuned...

I replaced the illumi module in my 2001 Outback and got my instrument lights working again. Part number of the module is 83023AE01A. I like to fix modules whenever possible so I removed the cover from my old module and snooped around. The only thing I found that didn't look right was a large transistor riveted to a large heat sink. The circuit board is discolored where the legs of this transistor are soldered. BTW, the part number on the transistor is D1062. I found this transistor to be available on eBay. Has anyone here tried fixing this module? I'll add here that I had another module available to me- part number 83023FA000 (pre 2001?) I plugged it in to my car and all its functions worked.
