You bet! It is actually one big display with 42 pin connector, that resides behind a plastic divider so it looks like two displays...
I dont think the original manufacturer used enough heat or pressure to secure the ribon.
Even if the display ribbon does detach again, you can always redo the procedure. As previously noted, due to the generous length of shrink ribbon, you can trim back the ribbon to virgin material, peal back the protective coating, clean the contacts and re-apply!
I have ordered 4 off t5 t6.5 3 led wide angle bulbs to replace to original t5 bulbs as I also suspected that sometimes au fords electrics go into over-voltage, extra heating the unit and blowing the T5's filaments, which would also explain why the au's eat h4 bulbs for breakfast... That was until I replaced my headlamps with Phillips Long life All Weather (Green/ Yellow colour) lamps, (no longer in production), which I have stocked up on!
