In this video I repair a faulty volt meter gauge on a 2005 Ford F.150 King Ranch. The gauge failed due to a faulty stepper motor. We do not have a good source for that stepper motor, so we use a similar new stepper motor and we take the internal parts from it and put it into the old bad motor. If you have gauge issues on your 04-08 F150, you can send it to us. We charge only $100 for the repair. Here is a link where you can purchase the mail-in repair service.

After six beers, I had the gauge cluster removed from the truck . One beer and five minutes latter , the cluster somehow got smashed with a large ball-peen hammer . Some jobs are just best left to the professional . Great video
21TRILLION TRILLION Yes Sir!!!🤣
great job i still will never do this but i loved watching you work
AWSOME!! Worked out great. fixed my temp gauge on 2005 f150. Thanks for the video
Hey after you installed the new gauge did you just put it back into the vehicle ? Where do you set the gauge needle to ?
Really need to see diagnosing and the disassembly without breaking anything. Continuity and any other values explained.
Thank you for posting this video, I was able to repair the gauge on my 2004 F150 using a gauge cluster from a 2012 focus. I had to swap the internals like you did but it all worked great afterwards.
Thank you. I had the same issue on my Ford Fiesta MK6 and i successfully fixed my Instrument Cluster with it. You have a new subscriber:)
Glad to help. Thanks for watching.
I have an 09 f150 and did replace the white instrument piece for my speedometer and it still isn’t working , but I didn’t solder it , it popped right out , not sure if the other one was even soldered but I can solder it now and hope for the best
The sweeper arms. Like the needles for the gauges on those motors. How do you remove them from the motors? Just pressed on??
Good video but suggested to not dub in the rather unpleasant music.
Cool video! You left out the part about you use "similar new stepper motor" part number. Or if you sell them post a part number to buy from you.
Sorry we sell them on our website here www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/collections/gauge-stepper-motor/products/nissan-infiniti-ford-honda-gauge-stepper-motor
Thanks for this video. Odd placement of the Alan Walker music, but I'll take it. Would you feel comfortable attempting this with a 30 watt soldering iron?
How do I power up a cluster on the bench.
Great video. Can we measure the ohms, while it's still in the circuit board, to identify if the motor is B.O?
Hello Great Video! Can you point me in the right direction? My cluster was acting up, turning off. I took it apart and soldered over a few areas. Cluster work fine now except that now the air bag light is on all the time. I went over all areas I soldered and I dont see anything wrong. What do you think could be the problem, is there something I missed? Please help. Thanks
Awesome video. If I remove the chime speaker from the board, will it cause any issues?
This is late but no it won't
Which pin are you using to power up the cluster to test and which to ground. My lcd display keeps cutting in and out. Be nice to fiddle with power on and not in the truck.
So I have an 06 lariat. Same odometer set up as this one. Digital down bottom right with message center. It is just all lit up flickering then goes black. Then flickers all the pixels again (can't read anything) and goes black again. How do I fix that
I have the same problem. Did you have any luck fixing?
yet al the lights on my cluster are on and none my gauges work
2002 ford speedometer not working properly. It starts at 120mph and never gets above 80mph yes you read that correct. Any suggestions???
do you please have the power pin out for us?
Loved the video...BUT the music is annoying as hell...
Thought you stabbed your thumb using your blood to fix it. ..😂
I’ve got an 02 f150 the digital odometer was intermittent now not working at all at the same time it stopped completely all the needles don’t operate either but all warning lights do work can you tell me what weld I need to resodder
hello good evening good video, what pin number should I connect to turn on the cluster with my power supply?
Can you make a similar video for repairing a 2002-2004 f350 cluster? It has the parasitic current draw. Or even a picture or tips would help.
The radio, power windows and dome light circuits all go through the gauge cluster, so battery drains are commonly misdiagnosed on these truck. Unhooking the cluster or pulling the cluster fuse will make the drain go away but that doesnt mean the drain is coming from the cluster. Most commonly its the dome light that drain the batteries on those trucks. Theres a wire just upstream of the dome light under the headliner the rubs out and causes a batter drain, thats where I would start.
Automotive Circuit Solutions That may have put me on the right path. I have an OBD bluetooth reader that connects to my tablet for gauges. Once I unplugged that and waited a few minutes it seems to have dropped to 40 ma within spec. If it's dead again tonight I'll look at whether the alternator is backfeeding though a coil. Seems odd having that OBD transmitter plugged in would keep it from fully sleeping since I think the ECU goes fully off with key off.
How do you remove the analogs to get the board out?
Keep your fingers and the part on the screen
lol...Alan Walker....NNNNNoice!
can you please help me with a nissan np300 hardbody cluster pinout its got 2 plugs
What the pin out or wire colors to power on cluster
What would you say is the reason the brake light stays on. I have wiggled the left top plug and it has gone off but then comes back on. Also the dome light comes on while driving and goes off. Happens at different times. I can pound on top of the dash and light will go off. I have the covers off exposing the instrument cluster. Still bolted in and plugs still hooked up. Do you guys do a diagnostic on the panel..? How much..?
Yes we repair these on a daily. The problem is internal to the cluster. The repair cost is $140. Repair doesn't just resolve that issue, these have multiple issues that wee address while we're in there. The repair will have a lifetime warranty on it. Here is a link to the repair www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/products/04-08_f150_ipc_repair
Great video, would you have any videos or information around the dome light control - 2006 Lariat F150?
If i wiggle the right harness the light will come on, indicating a cold solder joint. but on the back of the board i see no evidence.
Any input would be appreciated. Cheers
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? Mine does the exact same thing.
@@bertveldhuizen8699 hey, looking at the cluster with the gauges removed under the right plug there are 2 resistors with a chip close by (i probably have the names wrong) but applying finger pressure would get things working again. I reheated the solder on the 2 resistors and got things working again. However, a few weeks later the gauges would read zero with all the lights turning on - like it entering reset mode.
In the end i replaced the cluster with an FX4 model, i've lost the Lariat computer, but prefer the look of the FX.
good luck in resolving yours - might not be worth the hassle.
Mileage gauge missing numbers?
How do u repair a dead cluster nothing works then u can wiggle connector n make it function I’ve already unsoldered the connector inspected it n solder it back in and still nothing any ideas where to look next?
Mine was the brake light issue that later turned into the full gage beeping, dying, then waking up 20 seconds later. The brake light was out due to a resistor that unsoldered from the board. I then resoldered EVERY SINGLE solder joint. Worked perfectly. Now the oil pressure gauge motor took a shit. Back it it comes 🤦 fricken Ford
I’m told my cluster on my 2005 f-150 might be faulty. Could the temperature gauge creep up then peg hot after 5 miles or so be a symptom of this? An Engine Power Reduced message comes up on the screen when this happens also? We’ve changed everything else including cooling system components and sensors.
If this could be the issue I’d like to send mine to you ASAP. Looking forward to a response.
Same thing happened on my 2004 f150. Some days it would read normal then others would bury the needle past hot. After switching out the entire instrument cluster w/ a used instrument cluster it worked perfectly.
Side note: the instrument cluster I used to replace mine reads that it has 50,000 more miles than mine actual does. Crazy that the odometer stores the mileage on the instrument cluster that can be easily swapped
I took mine apart to fix the odometer connection and now the speedo doesn't work. When I first plugged it up every started buzzing for a short time. Any tips?
You may have had a stepper motor that was about to fail and when you got in there to fix the display you sped up the failure by disturbing it. We have had that before. You need to replace the motor.
Automotive Circuit Solutions I fixed the odo by soldering a tiny wire to bridge the connection where the trace was burnt on pin 6. Right where the pin 90s on the display. Works great now. Fixed speedo by going into test mode and moving the needle to the write spot while it would sweep and stop at min and max. Got it all set. I lucked out. Thanks for replying.
Lol Alan walker fade
On occasion my gauge cluster loses power Power comes back on then back off then back on is this something you can fix
Yes we can fix that issue also, it's quite common. www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/products/2004-2008-ford-f-150-instrument-cluster-speedometer-mail-in-repair-service
In expedition 2004
Are the mileage stored on cluster or the ecu?
My cluster is blown
Yes it is stored on the cluster.
I’ve tried like 7 times to resolder. The odometer light was blinking and my brake light is constantly on. After trying to resolder, the odometer is now not working at all. Having other random electrical issues as well, possibly related to my cluster. Any suggestions?
Send the cluster in we'll get it repaired for you.
I soldered mine for the brake light error too. One of the times reinstalling, I accidentally misaligned the odometer posts so it lit up if I remember right, but didn't display mileage.
Brake light is fixed now. Odometer is seated right. 5k miles later and the oil pressure gauge is acting possessed... Might just be soaked in oil and shorting the ground out.
I sent it in and the issue came back months later. Just letting it be the way it is at this point.
@@christopherharwerth3801 do you live somewhere where temps are hot? On mine, there was a resistor the size of a #2 pencil lead that got too hot and unsoldered itself. It gets 110 over here, and I think I had the issue start in the summer. Makes me think I should park the dash out of direct sunlight in the summer.
@@anothersomebody8195 I live in southern Illinois. Gets hot in the summer but it’s not hot all year around. Happens no matter what the weather is like, for me.
would this part fit a 2004 explorer sport trac?
It does! Thanks for posting the Vid, fuel gauge works fine now!
Junk it!!!!
Could you do away with the irritating music an just explane what you are doing.
the music is pretty annoying
Would have been a great video except for the stupid-azz music. Why do people insert such ANNOYING music in their videos is beyond me. 👎👎👎👎👎
