A real pleasure to watch someone who knows what he's doing.

The audio's great but I'd love it if you could steady that camera mount that swings back and forth every time you bump it :)

Hey Jeff wondering how you have power bench supply hooked up to the pig tail thanks

Hi Jeff
What do you use to clean the flux?

[moparnutalways]

I tried doing it myself and failed... otherwise known as a "Cluster F#$k" :)

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.

You have a great skill to do that kind of repair and make it look like I even can solder, which is furthest from the truth. Awesome workmanship.

[stephenr]

could you make a video showing how you made the test harness for the cluster?

[utsports]

You did a great job correcting the faults of the previous repair, and thanks for a close up view, of the repair and soldering .

[WJHandyDad]

is there a good schematic available online that shows what all those contact points do and what should have 12v + / - or other voltage?

[gdietz]

Insulting the DIY guy at the start isn’t the best idea.

[mlez]

hey buddy what is the size of the soldering wire for this kind of job? great job ...thanks in advance

[blacksmoke]

Now I know where to send my cluster when it craps out ! Thanks for sharing that was a really nice repair 👍

How do I get in contact to have you repair my 2003 Avalanche panel?

[juliancarter]

He knows what he is doing but also is not hurrying but just steady and getting a lot done so this is a good training video

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.

You are good at what you do even if you charge more that's fine I think you have the experience and know what you're doing that's big A factor great video great job!

What’s the liquid you use with the toothbrush to clean to board?
