GREAT VIDEO...I watched this video, did exactly as described...took about 20 minutes to get the cluster out (only because I had some trouble getting the plug out of the back of the cluster)...shipped off to Circuit Board Medics), 4 days later I received it back, took literally 5 minutes to install and put the dashboard back together ..Total cost to repair with shipping was $189.00
Appreciate it bud! I'm taking mine apart now to try the solder points... hopefully it's that's otherwise I'll be rockin no instruments to and from work until I get mine back from repair 😂
thank you for this video!!! my cluster has the exact same issues and it's at a point where it doesn't come off anymore. i will send it to them and see what happens.!
Can you tell me where to find the problem with the passenger seat wire and the infotainment center shutting off? Mine is doing this I can't find info on that wire anywhere. Thanks
I have a 2011 chevy malibu. I have a cluster problem. It only works when it wants to. I did however find that when it is cold outside it doesn't work Above 80 degrees it works!? I live in Florida. What is the problem? Thank you for the videos>
heyjohn, i have 1 2013 malibu. just replacedmy alternator, and having issue with cluster coming on going off, do you know if it might be a fuse or relay, do you know whatcontrols dashboard?
I bought a couple of clusters off EBay but I kept getting the Hybrid version so I went to a Salvage yard and got me a cluster but now it’s not showing me the mileage but everything else works.
yes I went through all of this myself. the used versions did not work. Also check out my intro video. I talk about that. The link is in my description above.
hey did your battery ever go dead from the cluster shorting out? My cluster has been shorting out for a few months now. It is now at the point where 75% of the time the cluster doesn't light up at all. It is hit and miss. But the last two days I go out to the car and the battery is dead. I had the battery tested and it is good. i had the alternator tested and it is good. Do you think the cluster is just getting so bad its causing the battery to drain?
The only one we could get to work was my own after it was fixed. The new one I bought was not for my model. It was color and I need monochrome. That gave a lot of error messages because that car had a lot of options I do not and some buttons were reversed. All gauges and speed worked fine, however, and the mileage was even good. The errors were just annoying. The used one from ebay was working fine, but the mileage would just show blank. We were not able to sync it with the car. So I sent my own to circuit board medics and they fixed it and everything now works fine.
Cancel your order. It's not going to work. See one of my replies below. I talk about it later in this video. Around the 7 min mark if I remember correctly

Haha yes its a pain to get the plug out. Whacked my hand many times doing that in this whole process
Also, thank you, and I am glad I was able to help you!
Hey did you have any other problems after that
Appreciate it bud! I'm taking mine apart now to try the solder points... hopefully it's that's otherwise I'll be rockin no instruments to and from work until I get mine back from repair 😂
@@alexanderrosalez8797 sure no problem! That's the right idea. Fix existing. New will just give issues
thank you for this video!!!

Happy to help! Peoples youtube vids have helped me a ton over the years so I was hoping this could help some people!
Thank you bro made my job only 3 min long :)
You're welcome and happy to help!

Hmm honestly I don't know exactly. I'll see if I can find d something on it

You probably have a bad component. I had circuit board medics fix mine. But you might be able to fix yourself if you have soldering experience
Hi,so I have replaced the instrument cluster but the mileage is not showing up? Do you have the same problem
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Will the car still run without the cluster installed?
Yes it will
heyjohn, i have 1 2013 malibu. just replacedmy alternator, and having issue with cluster coming on going off, do you know if it might be a fuse or relay, do you know whatcontrols dashboard?
Where did you send it in for repairs?
Thanks Rick

OK nvm go here. I talk about what I tried and what did not work. 6:55
Did you get a warning saying, Program Cluster, I am having that problem with my Malibu, in Australia, year model 2016, done only 36k kilometres
What caused you to get this error? Did you install a new one or did this suddenly just pop up on your original cluster after 3-4 years?

I didnt have this problem. Does the cluster come back on at all when the passenger seat is moved?
This is literally happening to me
@@princetonjohnson5826 dead cluster or battery short?
Jonn Abshire the cluster is dead (black screen) and the battery was acting dead; seemingly both
@@princetonjohnson5826 check out the short positive cable on the battery. Also you might need to replace the battery
Omg
Thanks
Our gauges are out i have purchased a used cluster hoping to install it on Saturday
I hope it doesn't need programming??
Thanks Rick
you have to watch my videos completely. the used one wont work right.
So did everything work on the use one except for the gas? With the use one was it a plug and play or did you still have to sync it with your car?
The only one we could get to work was my own after it was fixed. The new one I bought was not for my model. It was color and I need monochrome.

@@JonnyAbs-0 I was referring to the other one that you had in until you got your original back. Tou said one worked but it didn't show the mileage.
@@bgthegreat3195 correct, that was the one I bought from a junkyard via ebay. Mileage wouldn't display but all gauges worked.
@@JonnyAbs-0 thank you so much. I've been looking for info on this problem for months. I appreciate the time you spent for sharing
@@bgthegreat3195 you are very welcome. Send to circuit board medics. You wont be disappointed and quick turnaround
Hello. I'm ordering a used cluster off of ebay. Do I need to program the used one before I put it in? Or once I get it I can install it?
Cancel your order. It's not going to work. See one of my replies below. I talk about it later in this video. Around the 7 min mark if I remember correctly
Great job brother!
Thank you i well try it
O sorry
Yes I watch the wrestler video and you have to send it away it to get the original one repaired
Yep exactly. Other wise the dealer has to program a new one for you. I don't think they will program a used one.
You talk too much
Lol thx
