    Dude, you're good. Real good. Also, it really surprises me that this unit is as repairable to the extent that it clearly is. I've watched a number of these videos and I've not seen anyone even attempt what you've done here. There are any number of repairs to my truck I will do for myself - even some basic electrical troubleshooting and repair. After seeing this done right, when I get ready to fix my cluster, I'm calling you. It's a pleasure to see something done so well. I enjoyed this video. Thanks for posting.

    @ronwfox01 2 года назад +3

    Very useful. My tach and oil pressure gauges weren't working at all and the fuel and water temp gauges were intermittent. I ordered a kit from Amazon with stepper motors, a plastic pry bar and some bulbs (not LEDs) that I didn't use. I have small pry bars but they are metal; the plastic pry bar is very useful to keep from marring the overlay when removing the needles. It's important to use a solder sucker (I have a manual one, not the automatic one he uses). It to keep from messing up the pads when you desolder them. I replaced ALL the motors, not just the ones that were giving trouble. None of my pads got damaged. The motor leads are bent over some on the back of the circuit board. I unbent them back to vertical (breaking the last bit of solder contact with the pad) and then used a small side cutter to cut them even with the back of the circuit board before pulling the motors out from the front. I didn't re-flow any solder joints. Before removing the needles rotate them to the left until they stop and then mark that spot with painter's tape so you know where to put the needle when you put it back together (I got that from another video). I don't have the fancy tester he has; I just re-installed it in my 2005 Silverado 1500 and everything worked.

    Wanted to say thanks for the video! I did my own and everything went well except for the water temp. I did not notice I had no pad left on one prong. THEN I lost the next solder point, how I do not know. Could not get solder to reattach so I could jumper. Looking at the board it looks like the main purpose was to go to the next "small" hole. So the fix was to insert /solder a jumper wire into the hole and solder it to the motor pin.
    Just wanted to let you know I could not of done it without your video!! Thanks again You almost got another job:)

Well the butcher who assured me he could do the job did exactly what happened to this board you're repairing. I was lucky to fine a gentleman in Boston that did this kind of work and for an extremely reasonable fee did what you did here and fixed the board. It was magic to have that fixed and now I see how a professional like yourself performs such miracles. Thanks so much for the demonstration as I have always been curious how this kind of work was performed. You're extremely skilled and do impressive work. Thanks again for the demonstration. Much appreciated.

      Just reflow solder over the resistors that 511. That’s how I fixed my prndl. I have lifted pads on my stepper motor for oil pressure sensor. Where do I run the jump to?

    I’m trying to repair my cluster on my 2005 GMC Sierra but I’m trying to do it myself but with white leds. Do you know what would be the size for the bulbs and where I could find them?

      If you must use LED's use US Speedo cubes, look for warm white so it doesn't look blue through the face. Otherwise 4.7 mm 100mA@13.8v wholesalesteppermotor.com

    What do you think is wrong with my cluster.. all of my gauges stopped working my temperature gauge was the only one that worked I fix my clusters and the temperature gauge that was the only one working is now not working. I bought a new motor for it. it works it just never tells the right temperature.. what do you think could be the problem..???

      Could be pulled pads or as simple as you didn't seat the needle in the correct location.

      The previous owner of the cluster busted it out.

    I dont understand how you RIP all the pads off. Get a vac desolder. Even a cheap pen style like what I got works realy good.

  • @arthurrodesiler3109

    For your jumper wire is that just solder you use? I no you said before the long ones were transformer wire

    • @jeffescortlx
      @jeffescortlx  6 лет назад

      15:40 goes into a little more detail on the long wire. The short jumper wires are the leads from the lamps.

    The mileage is kept by the vehicle's ECM/ BCM / computer. the digital readout on the cluster is only a message center it does not keep memory of mileage or messages the computer keeps the memory and sends that to the gauge cluster.

    • @jeffescortlx
      @jeffescortlx  5 лет назад

      That might be true for other makes/models, but that information is wrong for the cluster style in this video.

    I want to just ask your opinion. My grandson borrowed my 2001 Astro van, left lights on, have to jump start it, since then none of the gauges work. Did the jump somehow fry an IC from ESD or something? He changed the fuse and the lights still work!!??
    Thanks for the video

    • @jeffescortlx
      @jeffescortlx  Год назад +1

      That cluster may rely on more than one fuse. I would double check all the fuses both under the hood and under the dashboard.
