Man my f150 has been down for like 3 years because of my dash cluster and I figured it was the soldered connections but I'm not skilled enough to repair it. This video confirmed it thanks
EXCELLENT VIDEO, Thank you for taking the time to show me how to properly do this job. Seems like a lot of work for 150.00 people are fortunate to have you offer this service at a reasonable cost. Thank you so much, Steven.
Nope - the guy is way too arrogant.
Still worth more money and who cares if he is arrogant? He should be. @@moedeclerk6688
I can’t tell you how happy I am to find this video!! I was having problems with the dome light, oil pressure gauge, outside temp, battery draining, and of course, the parking brake light doing this fixed all those problems I’m going to post your video on this Facebook group and hopefully it can help many others. Cheers!
you are like the Bob Ross of circuit boards. gonna give this a shot today.
The reason the solders fail is because the US has adopted the CE, European solder standard. What this means is that the solder’s chemistry was changed to use less lead by adding tin to the solder. This makes the solder “brittle” with the added benefit that the tin will crystalize and grow to the nearest adjacent component’s trace. It takes a few years for this to happen but that’s what causes all of this “new/improved” technology to have intermittent shorts and failures.
Just purchased e250 van used, seller didn't tell me about cluster going in an out . The fan and radio also goes out. Thanks great video, I'm to old and broke to pay someone to do that. Have to teach my youngest to solder, your video well help thank you. 😊 no child labor youngest 23 😂
Thanks very much for your very detailed video. My odometer display is not currently working. So I’ll have to figure out if it is just gotten unplugged, or if it needs replacing. Even though I am not a “car guy”, I believe that I can follow your instructions and get my problem resolved. Don’t worry about being a little grumpy. I believe you said that the vehicle belonged to an older woman, and more than likely she didn’t cause your added problems. She probably asked a son, grandson, or other friend to help her out, and they caused more problems than they fixed. Have a nice day, and thanks again for the help!
I was able to repair my 2004 and 2007 F-150 with help from your video Thanks
My buddy has a 2004 Chevy cluster that the srepper motors failed. It's not just Ford that has cluster problems.
Man! Thanks for video. I knew what's wrong with my 06, but unsure how to get to circuit board. Now I can fix.😊
Man is this guy likable or what....hope your living it up in your content creator castle.
Thanks man, I'll tackle my 2005. I'm not going to do a video on it because there is no way I could do better than yours. Thanks again. 🤗
GREAT Video!! Love your humor!! Learned a few tips from you. Gonna go fix the Emergency Break light by resoldering the "821" resister (plus others). I may be contacting you (before I "monkey around" with it) and mail it to you for repair.
THANK YOU! I have been trying to help my daughter, her truck has had lot's of odd issues. I had previously worked out that the cluster was causing most of them and your video just basically showed me how to rebuild it. I will be rebuilding her cluster the next chance I get. Question, what temp do you have your soldering iron set to?
Thank you again very much. Liked commented and also subbed. Have a great week. -David
Do you guys sell a rebuilt board and I can send a core back? Just trying to figure out the best way to maybe get this taken care of
It was a nice job. I had the same issue with my 07 F150.
I use a ceramic coating/spray on the cluster lens and a micro fiber so as to not scratch the lens.It stay cleaner a LOT longer.
BTW you missed a spot...LOL
I think you just helped me, in a way you don't know.... Just bought 06' 150 xlt supercrew (54k Miles) it was a funeral home plow truck in winter (Pennsylvania) and a trailer hauler in summer(mulch and such). It would sit between. I bought the whole rig, plow, Truck, & 16x8 trailer. Had Manifold brought up to date. New manifold is Solid.(after 2 goo sessions,, New plate and 7 drilled bolts).. replaced tranny lines, brakelines, power steering lines (OMG, power steerting fluid can cost more than fuel, if your leaking 2 quarts per every 40miles)..(and know to put more in when you can't steer.)
**** To DATE:: I have no idea if my gauges or windows are going to work when I turn my key.
But, You just showed me how to fix my Problem,,, without thinking it was H20 pooling, somehow near my fuse box passenger side..
I can smack the top of the gauges or push the button or an area near the button the the dash to active , at least the test session ,, so i can get my windows up ,, if it starts to rain,, can be difficult in traffic.
Thank you, I'm going to see if my dash plug is loose from hitting snow piles at speed :>
2005 F150..would a bad cluster cause the windows to not work, the radio to be dead, and no instrument lights, and engine to run like crap? Thx.
sometimes ...yes
spent 500 dollars at the dealership to have this replaced. wish i would have watched this beforehand
I have the same 06 F150 cluster that is giving me the 5x5 beep alarm for the airbag bulb being out. Is the airbag bulb easily replaceable? Have been living with the beeping for about 2 months now. Extremely annoying being that it alerts every 30 minutes while driving. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Roger
What did you use to test the gauge cluster while it was outside of the truck?
I have no oil, voltage and speedo guages . when powered up my voltage guage does shake but that's it...any idea on solution.ive done the re-solder on the pins.
What the pin out to the wiring harness to power up the dash on the bench
Will Led lights works in place of lights in cluster.? Do you replace bulbs or the case that holds the bulb?
yes as long as you get the polarity correct
Great video. I know the 5 beeps for 5 times is a common issue and is caused by the air bag icon light not displaying. Is the fix for that to solder everything like you showed here or is it simply a bulb replacement?
How can I find a local mechanic to do my gauges on 06 F-150
Can I still drive my 06 F-150 when gauges are not working
Great video, I took my cluster out to see why the odometer wasn't lighting up fixed the issue but when I put back in all my gauges like speedometer and gas gauges were in the wrong place and I was getting also a error for my transmission in the odometer reader. Before working on this my transmission was rebuilt everything was working fine before I did this removal of my cluster but no w it has new issues. Anyway if ya see this is love some advice! Thanks!
I bet you’ve got blasted from gauge repair specialists for posting this video
We live in tough economic times. Thank you for sharing for us DIY’s
DIYs usually don't struggle from economic times. They usually are eating out too much, have spendy women, or have drug habits but enjoy nice shoes and such. I'm certain diy guys should not be performing this.
Very good video ...Thanks ..!!
So was the first re-solder you did the one that fixed the issue of the lights not coming on?
I got a 08 lariat f150 the display comes on when it wants to and flickers and does all kinds of stuff would that be same

1. Can a bad instrument cluster cause my cruise control to turn off, intermittently?
2. If I replace my 2008 F-150 instrument cluster with a different one from a wrecker, do I have to do any programming?
I dont know for certain on number one...but probably. on number 2 yes you will need programing for at least mileage.
Just a person here dealing with this same issue. Been driving around with my plastic cover off the cluster and will wiggle the top left connector when the brake light sticks on. Had the cruise control issue for about 1 year now. The dome lights also come on randomly.
To answer question 1, and to my surprise, YES, the same connector turned off the cruise control. Just discovered this last week after a year if trying different things. Once the cruise shut off, I wiggled the connector and cruise was able to come back on. Out of curiosity, I got cruise working and wiggled the connector, cruise shut off. So frustrating and relieving. My only problem is that I am horrible at soldering and probably messed it up beyond any further repair.
Glad to see a real professional in his profession doing an excellent job. 1 question, I like to make my 2005 F150 brighter inside so I can see clearer detail (Night vision sucks). Can you do it and when can you do it. Heading towards SA soon 9.6.23 be there around 10.01.23
saw another vid where someone like this guy ,, took back panel off his gauge cluster for a king ranch,, he put LED bulbs in all the same gauge placed bulbs,, only thing is they are two prong ,, so have to make sure u have them in right
Was this display going off and then on again and off and on again?
I just got an 07 and the whole dash turns off and I move the small connecting tail on the right everything works they claimed the change the gauges but it still does it ....and wat size solder are you using
Thank you very much a great video!!
my 2005 f150 lariat temperature guage ,sometimes works and most of the time doesnt work, i would appreciate some help
Hi, great work. Do you know if the 2006 f150 has a slosh module inside the dash cluster.
Great video, thank you. My radio display is not working and my odometer display is not working. Regards
Great work!
A good a well detailed video, really appreciate your work! New Subscriber here!!!
Hi do you repair for canadain customers
Hi budy, super useful procedure, how you can tell or test when it is definetly the lcd screen damaged?
try shinning a flashlight on the screen at angles to see if you can see a reading....if you can read it then you just need a bulb
Hi nice job!! My 06 f150 king ranch has the same problem I live in Austin.will you fix mine?
Yes I can
Good afternoon!! Can you please tell me when can I go to your shop and if I have to take the truck or you can work on it if I take just the cluster ?
Thank you for the video. I just needed to see how to replace the bulbs, but damn if you didn't teach me a whole lot more. A like and a sub form me man!!
It was still doing the beeping and collapse of the needles. Nothing w fixed
Man I wish you were in West Virginia I'd have you fix my cluster for 150 bucks I have a 2004 Ford f150 5.4 lariat and the speedometer is on 120 and won't move and I've reset the gauges by holding the buttons down on the dash and doing a gauge sweep but that didn't even move it it fixed all the rest of the gauges but didn't move the speedometer I'm almost wondering if it's the speedometer cable
If the speedometer was pressed on to far that might have caused it to be stuck at 120. Backing the needle off just a smidge might be a possible solution to fix that issue.
LUV ya BLU!
HAVE 5 BEEP S 5X AIRBAG LITE HOW DO I STOP IT??
I have this same issue. It's driving me nuts.
Same, very aggravating.
i think the reason is the airbag light is not working, i have the same issue, im looking for the component i need to resolder. Ive already resold the one of the brake light taht didnt turn off....Checl your airbag passenger light above the radio, maybe its broke, thats why the 5x5 beeping ,Airbag light its not working (cluster or radio)
i hope this helps
Why do you charge so little? The last two I did for local shops I charged 254.50.
Pump up your numbers brother 💪🏻
My dash light comes on, but the cluster light for the miles do not come on, at night I cannot see the numbers only during the day. What can be the problem?
thats a hronic problem on those...just needs a new bulb. its a twist in on the back of the cluster.
@@AutomotiveElectronics ok great thanks, so I'll have to take the while thing off
I'll be trying this tomorrow. Same exact symptoms. If it works, can I call a number on the site you posted on another comment so I can send you $20?
U made it look easy
hi thanks for the video i will subscribe you helped me fix my cluster i do need to know if you can tell me where to find a replacement connecter clip mine is broken so the wire fix that you called a hack had some appeal lol . if you have a part number that would be awesome its the smaller connecter on the right the gral arm broke off
Also when u hit the steering wheel it starts to wrk lol
Can you work on one if it’s mailed and then you send it back
Yes sir

Great video, but which wires to you hook up to a 12v power supply to reset the gauge pointers? TIA
