I actually came upon this video by accident ☺️ I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado, identical instrument cluster. The oil pressure gauge doesn't indicate anything just stays at rest. The guys I bought the truck from had used it at our job as a delivery vehicle so I never saw it work, even after they replaced the Pressure sender on the engine. Is it simply the gauge motor? 🤷🏼♂️ I'd sure like it to work ☺️ I have very limited experience with electronic stuff I'm assuming it's easier and safer to have someone else with the experience and tools necessary to do the repair 😏 Do you still work on these instrument clusters?
Great video, my 03 Tahoe cluster was turning off and on then it just stopped turning on, I re-flowed mine and I worked and hasn’t skipped a beat. Thank you
Thank you for the information, I have an 05 Silverado with the same cluster and was nervous about taking it apart. but after seeing how easy they come apart I feel confident in preforming the repair myself.
I did EXACTLY as you did, and at my last step i realized I DONT HAVE A TESTER 😬🥺🤣🤣 Now im gonna install it then put needles on, hopefully it works and gives me good readings😎😎 Wish me luck. AND TNK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEOS 😉 🏆🏆🏆👍👍.
If you still reply maybe you have an idea? All indicator lights, warnings and Icons all light up and can be controlled by the headlight dimmer switch (just replaced today) The instruments all work correctly, needles move in correct mode. . The lights that back illuminate the gauges do not light up. I need to turn up the cabin light to see the needle positions while driving. No bad head or tail lights. Every other light or icon are working well . Vehicles is a 2005 GMC 1500 Sierra
Hi Jason I’d be willing to pay you to walk me through what’s wrong with my 2007 Silverado 2500 classic diesel everything works except the doc display I just replaced all my bulbs but can’t see what’s wrong with the dic, Tia.
The original dashboard studies found the the greenish color is easier for people to see, especially for older drivers. Reds and blues are harder for eyes to focus onto
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, the plastic pry bar you see in this video 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. None of my pads got damaged. I did unbend the motor leads 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).
Just found your video. I am needing repair on my 2003 cluster. All of a sudden nothing works except for the check engine light. My starter gear was sticking and it caught on the flywheel for a second and then nothing with the cluster was working. The speedo is stuck on 50mph and the RPM is stuck at 1500.
Hey, I have a 2005 Dirty max, I. need to get my cluster repair. I heard I could put a Cadillac's cluster on instead of instead of my original. I also would like to keep the same miles.
2005 Yukon XL SLT here--What would make the message center (below the PRNDL) remain dim all the time? Currently, the PRNDL does not work at all & the Message Center is so dim that you can only see it at night or on a dark stormy day.
Love your videos! What would cause my battery light to stay on. Volts fluctuating between 12.8 and 14.7. I replaced my cluster with one from wrecked 2005 Cadillac. I drive a 2005 chevy 1500
My PRNDL orange lights are out on my ‘06 2500- would it likely be the same cracked solder issue on mine as this slightly older version cluster? Thanks!
How can you tell which cluster supports steering wheel controls? I swapped mine out with a lower trim cluster and now they don’t work. Is there someway to Identify a cluster that does and doesn’t have the option? Thank you
I just changed to a blue led instrument panel lights on a 06 Silverado. How do you change to blue lighting on the select gear and info panel. Right now I have blue led panel lights with the stock green on the gear select and info panel
Do you have the gauge face with the trans temp? How much for a rebuild with leds, steppers, and trans temp? My gauges are also a tiny bit off where they should be... turn around time? Thank you!
I just didn’t motors in my trailblazer but I was going to use led lights n plugged it in to test which way they went but the kept blowing my original lights work but I wanted blue ones what type of light are you useing are they 12v and where can I buy a bunch of them I want to do my other cars too I had really good luck with the stepper motors with a solder sucker by hand and took all my lights out and had to put them back in because I think the leds were like 2.3 v
I have a question hopefully you can answer. My cluster works perfectly fine other than the battery light indicator stays on and the alternator is charging. I have everything working correctly. Is there a diode or something in the cluster that needs to be changed to get the battery light to quit staying on?
I want red where everything is white. Now how to change those green displays? Is there polarized film on them? Almost want to try red brake light tape over it. I'm not digging the bright blue highbeam indicator either. Probably red tape it too. lol
At 1st glance I thought this one was mine that I did but it had regular bulbs and you said it had nasty solder joints so I knew it wasnt. I had the really nice solding. Haha.
Hey man thanks so much for your video, I got everything working on mine, except now the check engine light doesn't come on anymore lol. Not when I start the truck nor when I first power the cluster on. Not a big deal since it stays on all the time anyway just would like to fix it while everything is apart. Got any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Not sure about the question it's kind of out of context but I think has to do with powering it vs just battery. Yes to turn the cluster on the truck needs to be in the run position. I don't think accessory turns it on but it's been a while since I have actually been inside one of these trucks I just do them on my bench. Going off memory here. Glad you like the channel and thank you for subscribing!
Just found this video and this is Exacaly what my cluster is doing the prnd arent working.. just curious how much would this package cost me if your still doing these jobs.. Leds and all. Basically the same setup i got an 05. Thanj yoy
I recently bought a 2003 Tahoe. It looks like I have BO bulbs behind the Water Temperature and Voltmeter gauges. They don't light up at night with the truck's lights on. I see now I can't just reach behind the dash and twist out a 168 bulb and change it. This is way more complicated than I want to deal with.
I have an 06 Duramax and my lower screen is intermittent. It looks dfferent than the back of the one you are working on. What area should I look for that has bad solder joints?
My process was not near as nicely done as yours but I got it done! Haha I appreciate the video. It helped a lot. I have 1 question. I replaced the stepper motors successfully and the bulbs as well. When I apply power to the bulbs(out of the truck) they work. I used a 9v battery with 2 wires for a quick test. But once I install the cluster in the truck - the gauges work but the new bulbs don’t come on. Do you have any idea what could be the cause?
Question. I purchased a cluscluster that was got 03 to 07 silverado HD models no steering control center. My truck is an 05 silverado non HD. Also without steer control center. I got this because it had the transmission temp gauge. The problem I'm having is at startup I get a service brake booster. My brake booster is new and has no error with the original cluster. It's looking for something that comes with HD models. Is there away to remove this? I've read that I would need to go to dealer so they can reprogram for my truck.
So I went into my 05 Sierra and changed the lights that were out to leds. I followed everything you did in this video and when I got done resoldering (reflowing) the components to make my PRND display show up all the gauges and BOTH displays were not working. Could it possibly be that I need to touch up my resoldering job? Is there a way to reset my instrument cluster?
i bought a cluster from a 12-01 escalade for my 02 gmc sierra 2500 hd..... its got the hook up on the very back but up top as possible..... i been told the power & the message center won't work cus of the wrong plug in.............. so what yr., of the right escalade do i need to get the one that has the hook- up on the very top side of it all..... i also need it to have the white lil disc's ( stepper motor's ) in it not the coiled copper one's................................... i need some wisdom here plzzzzz !!!!!
I'm not completely understanding what you mean but if you're truck has plug all the way in the back of the cluster it's an 03+ if it's on the top it's an 99-02.
What temp you like to solder at? When I was building racing drones, I found soldering hot and fast was best. If you had the iron a bit too cold, you’d have to hold it to the pcb too long and that’s when you would lift pads. Good video. 👍
have a no start which i dont comprehend! i thought vehicles run without clusters! mine dont! everything works all lights and gauges except odometer says miles when to try start for two seconds then i hear static noise and miles go to error!!!!!! car wont start no click nothing! helpppppp!!! any ideas resistors inside cluster or what to look for i see nothing burnt or loose
I can't tell if you are pulling off the bulbs at the base or cutting some wire. Also, It seems that next to the spot where each bulb goes, there are different numbers, is every bulb different in some way?
I have a question. My 2005 Silverado 1500 doesn't have a Transmission Temperature gauge on it. Obviously the circuits are there for it to work on this panel. Is the sensor in my truck? If I install the motor on the board will it work?
I want to replace the led bulbs with OEM incandescent bulbs. I can't find what bulbs to use. I want to do the cluster and climate control. Can you tell me where to find the bulbs.
Awesome description of your work as you were doing it I really appreciate the professionalism in not condemning others work on their previous repairs, I have an 2005 GMC Sierra that I did all this on around 6 years ago as well as adding the trans temp as I was told it would work if I added it however I quickly discovered that the 05 and newer need to have a switch electronically switched on and as I have no way to do that I have never been able to see that function, is this something that you can do if I send my cluster to you?
I had mine rebuilt, however it still isn’t working properly. I suspect one of the wires is shorted. Do you a graph showing the pin usage? I have check engine light and blinkers. Not much else… TIA
If you need the pin out it shows up on Google easily. I can't post pictures in the comment section on RUclips but Google will turn it up. What you are sounds like you have an issue in the power supply section of the circuit board. What you are describing is the microcontroller is not turning on. You should contact whoever did the work. They should have a warranty and cover the repair. It's 98% chance that's a faulty repair. If they refuse to honor a warranty I repair them for $100 plus shipping
It all sounds and looks great BUT demo is too fast especially when soldering bulbs. I have no idea what two pods are you solder the bulb wires to or what kind/type of bulbs they are for a 05 Silverado. There seem to be so many out there but which one is the correct one is beyond me, or the name. A little help please.
In the end as long the led is rated to 12/14v your fine. The LEDs I used in the video are known as 3smd in eBay no brand name. Cube LEDs from sunled work good too
Probably not the original cluster to the truck. It's a software feature on the cluster. If someone swaps them then it might not have the software on it.
How do you tell the correct polarity on the circuit board. I know the longer side on the bulb is positive. Haven't opened mine up yet so I don't know if the board has an indication of positive and negative. Thank you
i emailed about 5 months ago but never got a response. I just emailed you again about replacing my stepper motors let me know if you still repair them please. thanks
I just replaced all mine with led and they stayed on for about a minute then they all went dead. The turn signal led still work and all other incandescent bulbs on the panel work as well. Wtf did I do, the solder joints were redone if they looked bad
Do you have a new memory chip for the 2005 Silverado HD? I like to buy one my chip is bad. The problem is (Odometer Error) the U15 chip my chip is empty from line 80 on down therefore copying it to a new chip is pointless so where can I download a good file from?
Hey had a question regarding this 05 board. I am Trying to do a repair and upgrade the bulbs. Reason being the all the back lighting on the board is dead what could be a cause of this the vfw is fine and all the info lights are working. Thanks!
Hello there. Yes I how much it would cost me the get 2005 Chevy Trailblazer Lt instrument clusters fix or rebuild it replace the light with LED. I'm calling from Houston TX
I'm in Florida. It's $80 + shipping. I normally get stuff done the same day I get them in. Main time factor is shipping it can be overnight if you want to pay the shipper that much or 3-5 days ea way. Most people just use speedo apps on there phone while the cluster is out.
Ok Guys. RUclips loves this video for some reason. check out my newer videos they are much better! I got a new Microphone.
Can I mail you my cluster so you can upgrade mine?
@@showtime203bullies yeah. My email is on. The about section of the channel. You have to use a PC to see it (that's just how RUclips works)

Do you have a video that shows how to power them up? i have plenty of pigtails from them i can use but no idea where to put power. thanks!
You mean a DC power supply?
Very nice video! Can you advise where to make the temporary 12v connections to test the instrument cluster?
Any chance you could make a video on how you built your bench test plug?
GREAT video esp showing how to calibrate the needles to the 0 stops!!! THANKS!
Glad to help
What's the calibration if they are at an odd starting point. Speedometer says like 21 mph and gas is all the way next to the warning light.
what pins do you have connected for everything on the cluster to power it on ? turn signals and everything
Nice jobs man!!! Look super simple!! Gonna try it out tomorrow! Wish me luck😂
Good luck. It's really not too bad

I just replaced all mine with led and they stayed on for about a minute then they all went dead. The turn signal led still work and all other incandescent bulbs on the panel work as well. Wtf did I do, the solder joints were redone if they looked bad
Do you have a new memory chip for the 2005 Silverado HD? I like to buy one my chip is bad. The problem is (Odometer Error) the U15 chip my chip is empty from line 80 on down therefore copying it to a new chip is pointless so where can I download a good file from?
Can you repair my cluster on my 04 Silverado?
Like the new camera looks good
Thank you.
How hot should the iron be?
Can you fixed my cluster like that?
Yes

I’m new to your channel and am in need of my 01 Silverado cluster to be repaired, how do I get ahold of you so ship it to have you repair it?
Hey had a question regarding this 05 board. I am Trying to do a repair and upgrade the bulbs. Reason being the all the back lighting on the board is dead what could be a cause of this the vfw is fine and all the info lights are working. Thanks!
Headlight dimmer switch should fix the light bulbs not working on the cluster and if the rest of the interior lights don't work
If I twisted the board it would work. I cooked it in the oven at 385 for 10 minutes. Fixed it.
Voldosta GA?
I used to be in Valdosta ga but I move a little over a year ago to Florida
Can you send me a link of the leds that you used please in order to buy them?They can be used on the climate control too???
Can you fix mine? no odometer reading and I'd like LED
Reach out to my email listed on the about section.
Hello there. Yes I how much it would cost me the get 2005 Chevy Trailblazer Lt instrument clusters fix or rebuild it replace the light with LED. I'm calling from Houston TX
Have you done pure white on a 03-06 cluster?? Ive seen some but light comes out light blue
Unless I buy the inlay for it I won't do them. I don't like sanding the stock ones but you can get them with clear scales from china
I have a 2005 Tahoe
1. What State are you located in?
2. What's the cost to replace the cluster's light w/blue leds
3. How long will it take to do?
I'm in Florida. It's $80 + shipping. I normally get stuff done the same day I get them in. Main time factor is shipping it can be overnight if you want to pay the shipper that much or 3-5 days ea way. Most people just use speedo apps on there phone while the cluster is out.
