This problem has haunted me for years, and no mechanic/speedometer repair shop in LA would attempt it. Thanks to you, I fixed it in a day. UPDATE: check engine light has stayed off after completing the drive cycles, and it now passes CA Smog testing. Cannot thank you enough.

@slipknotgogeta Жыл бұрын

Yea I was reading forums because they say it’s the sending unit. But lo and behold the cluster was bad. But no one had a video. Just a few pics. So I tried soldering it and it worked. I made a half ass video didn’t feel it was worth posting. But this video is definitely in depth and clear . Team G

Thank you so much for this video. I didn't have a check engine light but the gas gauge was erradic once it got around 1/2 tank and would fluctuate between 3/4 and 1/2 and wouldn't really go below 1/2 tank. I just did the repair and it doesn't fluctuate at all and is below 1/2 tank, so it seems to be fixed. Thank you so much for posting this.

Thanks for the video. I’ve done plenty of residential plumbing soldering but never anything this tiny and delicate so it was a great comfort to be able to pause and repeat the steps. I put too much flux down and freaked out when the whole chip went sideways but it all worked out with some extra solder…I’m laying off the flux nowadays. I put the cluster back in and success! 🎉. Went to the gas station, filled up and set the gauge right. Thanks again!

Just wanted to say thank you for making this video, just resoldered my board tonight at work. I was so surprised at the lack of solder on those resistors, and one even had a crack in it. Will post again if it fixed my issue, cheers! Edit: Left the house with 3/4 tank (which I know was BS), now it’s between half and a quarter which I believe is correct. Seems like it worked!

Thanks in advance, I'm getting ready to do it. Already cleaned the sending units and they look good. Update: after repair, gauge seemed to work and read correctly filled up with half tank. Gauge gradually went down but did not make it to last line for "E", even when tank was empty. Also, the low-fuel light is on with a 1/4 tank of fuel. It should come on later, closer to empty.

After his battery conveniently losses power at 5:13, he continues with the panel off. Unfortunately, there are several more steps to perform and the removal isn't as easy as he wants you to believe. I had to watch a better video to continue. I think after he losses power to his camera, the more complicated steps happen.

@nikyepstillme7118 21 күн бұрын

Hate to break it to u but yeah it's just as easy as he wants u to believe, all u need is a lil bit of common sense and what do ya know!🤔 I mean he literally covered everything on getting it out B4 phone so conveniently died besides unplugging the plug that he was in the process of unplugging when it died, then simply squeezing the top and bottom tabs on the wiper switch and pull right off. Turn signal switch wasn't even as difficult as that considering didn't have a plug to unplug on it (not that it was all that difficult in the first place) and then u simply pull the cluster out. If the mirror plug hasn't been unplugged B4 hand, unplug it! Just incase anyone is having 2nd thoughts bc of his phone so conveniently dying lol🙄

@michaelasselta3101 6 ай бұрын

Isn’t it supposed to be calibrated to an actual readings? For instance when you press in the pin the rpm is supposed to hit an exact line like 3500rpm, next speedometer hit the 35mph line, next gas gauge half tank line etc. that’s how you line them up properly

@romanfigueroa2823 Жыл бұрын

This video was super helpful but it didn't seem to work for me. My car is throwing a p0181, p0182, and p0462. I took my cluster apart to reflow the resistors and tried doing it myself but that didn't go well so I went somewhere local to get it done. After I put the cluster bag together the gauge would not budge and neither would the light. So after this I switched out the fuel sending unit and the fuel pump from another g35 that I have and that didn't work either. Is there anything I'm missing? Is there any way I can tell is the soldering was done right?

Thanks for this video. Are you still accepting soldering repairs if I send this in to you? How do I go about this? Also, I think it is the cluster. I just replaced the fuel sensor on the drive side l and cleaned the fuel pump level lines with a qtip. That didn’t work and still have P0462 code. Also, my battery light in the dash flickers on and off for no reason sometimes so I am also leaning torwards this cluster issue. What do you think! Looking to take this apart soon. Thanks!

It would make sense, since they are around the same model years and probably had poor solder joints too, but youd need to find out where the resistors are on the back of your cluster that are connected to the gas gauge circuit

Thanks for uploading this video! I just got an 06 G35 coupe and all the gauges seem to be off. I’m pretty sure the cluster is the problem because I used an obd2 scanner to look at the tachometer, speedometer, coolant temperature and gas gauge and they don’t match the cluster. Will doing this repair fix my problem? Speedometer is off by 7-10 mph RPMS are off by 400-500 Coolant will stay at a quarter when warmed up Gas gauge will be at half the line when empty All the dash lights seem to be fine

@StingrayFPV Жыл бұрын

All you need to do to fix the tach and speed is take the cover off and manually pull and replace needles until they match correctly. To fix the gas gauge. You need to do the entire solder repair.

@StingrayFPV 10 ай бұрын

Pretty much you should leave the front cover off so that you can access the needles. When you refill you know it’s a full tank right? So pull off the needle and replace it pointing to full. Then as you go through more tanks keeps adjusting it until it is more accurate.
