Bobcat Excavator Instrument Panel Repair 331/334/325 Mini

I bought this 2003 Bobcat 331 excavator from an equipment auction in December of 2023. It was an ex-rental and has about 7600 hours on it. Once I got it home and looked it over, I noticed the three buttons on the left side of the instrument panel did not work at all. I priced out a replacement cluster and found they cost about $1400, so I decided to attempt to fix the buttons on my cluster. The button switch was not available separately so I decided to buy a generic 4 button membrane switch and make it work. The generic switch came from Amazon and cost about $6 for three of them. Once they arrived I had to slice the ribbon cable so I could put the pins into the original connector in the correct pin holes. The repair was a success and I 3D printed a button housing to make it look presentable.
