Omg. Thanks it worked and trust me I'm not the best at soldering 👍👍

U MADE MY DAY....I HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR 6 YEARS.

Wow! It worked perfectly on our GMC Yukon XL. We were having trouble seeing the PRNDL, but now it is really bright! Thanks!

I have never seen a more perfect instructional video. Thanks, guys.

Saw your video and promptly fixed mine. It’s been broken for years. Thank you so much for making an excellent video that is perfectly accurate and shows you what to expect before you even start.

The visual at 4:33 was perfect. Found two instances of that. Reflowed both and all is well. Thanks!

Here's the limit of my mechanic skills: I know how to drive my car to the auto-repair shop! I just did the fix on my 2002 Avalanche. Once I bought a cheap soldering iron and solder ($22 bucks at NAPA parts), it was pretty easy and saved me--who knows?--probably hundreds of dollars. In fact, for one of the seven resistors, when I touched one end of it with the soldering iron, it came clean off and I had to reposition with tweezers before soldering. I am 63 with hands that are getting shaky with age, haven't soldered anything since cub scouts. THANKS, BLUEDRIVER--I'm now a subscriber to your channel.

Thanks guys! You saved alot time for me, i allready broke my brain with this odo display, checked all harness, and it was just clusler capacitors...

Thank you so much for this video ! Saved me a lot of money ! Tried this fix and it works perfectly ! So gratefull to guys like you who share their knowledge and help out other DIY's !

Now there is someone who really knows how to make a repair easy to understand.

Excellent Fix, my Cousin's Avalanche had that Problem, thanks to this Video I was Able to Repair her Truck! THANKS😉💪

This is an excellent video. I have been dealing with not been able to see the gear shift symbols for about 10 years on my 03 Avalanche and stumbled across this video. Re-soldered the resistors and amazing. Well done! Thank you so much! I will add that the resistors seem like they just float on the board and they do move fairly easy once heated, so do not use any pressure or force when soldering.

2005 Silverado at first with only a magnifying glass couldn't see the solder cracks but upon looking harder they were there. Soldered as you demonstrated and it was successful. Thank you so much! Best GM instrument cluster fix on the internet!

In the Marine Corps I used to repair stuff like this, best skill I ever learned lol. Thank you.

Wow! Excellent video. So glad I stumbled upon this segment. My gear selector display hasn’t worked in years. I wish I would’ve known this a long time ago. Thanks for sharing some inexpensive knowledge.

This worked for my 2005 Chevy Silverado today. Thank you so much! I had never soldered before but it didn’t take much to learn the concept. Cheap fix!

Thanks guys, I will be doing this in the morning. So far your vid was clearest and cleanest. Thank you.

Thank you! I plan to do this fix over the Thanksgiving break. It was super helpful to see exactly what I need to do!

Yet another great instructional video. Worked great on my '05 Silverado. Hard to see that the resistors solder had cracked w/o a magnifying glass, however it was pretty obvious after melting the old solder on one side, some of them started sliding around all over the place! Thanks again!

this is great , great , great saving my Christmas money thanks guys.

IT WORKED! Key is to have a small solder tool. Thanks for the repair guide. Took about 1 hour altogether.

This worked like a charm for me ... thx so much guys. Great fix.

This is a great help. 2005 Yukon and three gauges in cluster died. This helped me remove cluster from a parts 2004 Yukon and install in the 2005. was done in less than hour. shows tools and even how to unplug the the cluster. Will review again if I need to re solder the old one. Takes the fear away. Thanks guys. awesome.

Thank you so much. I did basic continuity checks on the wires and things looked good. Nothing on the board looked fried but this had me look closer. I ended up finding cracked solder joints on many of the big smd resistors all over the board. Cracked conformal coating was a big tipoff to many of them.

I just finished to fix mine, great video. Thank you!!!!👍👍👍

You solved the problem I was having simply by showing how to remove the gauge needles. All the other videos I've seen skip showing that... so thank you for including it because it's the same even though I was working on a honda. 👍

Thank You! It worked on my 2005 Suburban. Appreciate the help!

This was the fix on my 2004 Silverado 2500HD Duramax. Thank you!

Worked to absolute perfection !! Thanks guys

Easy to do and now my instrument cluster works. Thanks for the video.

Worked great, would only add having tweezers on hand because as I touched one it came off completely so I had to get tweezers to hold it in place to solder. Thanks a million guys, keep up the good work

I replaced all of the stepper motors in my cluster, not realizing this was all I needed to do to get my PRNDL display back to normal. It looks like the cluster will be coming back out tonight and doing what you guys did. Fingers 🤞 that it will be better instead of worse when I'm done!! Thanks for the video guys.

I sent this vid to my son who had this issue with his 04 Suburban with 400k + and it worked perfectly. Thank you!!!

This is the seventh KZfaq video I've watched on this issue. This is by far the best. I'm on this tomorrow morning!

Just watched this video and did this repair, worked perfect. Thank you so much for posting this video, saved me tons of time and money!!

Hi. I had a problem with the speedometer reading erratically or not at all on my 2003 GMC Sierra. I used your video to take out and repair the cluster by soldering the resisters as you indicated and it seems to have worked just fine. Thank you for saving me at least $600.00 Canadian! You guys are great, keep it up!

Literally never soldered anything before. But with all your steps, it worked! $12 repair with a soldering kit from Amazon. Thank you!

Excellent. Just the video I was looking for.

I had the same problem with my dash cluster. Thank you. I repaired it myself. It was a success.

thank you best cluster repair ive seen so far .. thank you guys !!

i watched hours of videos on this subject, this was to the point simply explained, and fairly short... i feel i have the confidence to attempt this now lol

I’ve put up with intermittent gauges for over 3 years now. Then they stopped altogether. I watched this a long time ago and then again a few times this week. This solved the problem and I really want you to know that I’m Extremely grateful to y’all. May the God of your choice bless you with a million good fortunes! My baby is a 2003 Avalanche Z66.

Going to attempt this weekend in hopes of it saving me a few hundo on getting it repaired or buying an entire new dash cluster. Thanks for posting!

Wow that’s amazing my cluster is doing that now I am going to do this on my own thank Goodness I Can across you guys video is awesome and very explanatory two thumps up !!!

I just repaired our 2003 2500 Avalanche. My soldering skills are not that great, but following the directions made easy work the problem.

Guys awsome video. This video just saved me $150/200 dollars i just took the cluster out right after i watched this and i have a few resistors broken .thanks to you guys i can fix my cluster now and my gauges will work.. money saver video if you have a GMC and garages dont work MUST WATCH THIS VIDOE may save you money as it did for me once a again big thanks guys

Best vid for this repair hands down - easy to follow and worked like a charm! Thanks!

Worked like a charm. Thank you

From a professional technician you all did an awesome job.

Job completed, PRNDL is now brightly illuminated; thanks for a well-done video! Additional advice: 1. File your soldering iron to a tiny point if it's not already; those resistors are tiny. 2. Record precisely the original position of each needle (with masking tape and a precise marker) and HOLD IT in that original position as you gently pry it up upwards with a flat bladed screwdriver. Despite marking the position of each one, I must have rotated the stepper motors as I pulled up on the needles to remove them. I had to disconnect the cluster from the truck 4 more times, removing the needles and reinstalling them, to get the gauges reading normal (and I'm still not sure they're exactly right.) Thus, advice #3: Record the original reading of each needle with the engine running (tachometer at idle, oil pressure, battery charge, fuel gauge, and coolant temp) before you start the job.

Thanks for the video. This will save me some money. I thought i had to replace the whole thing. My PRNDL beenngoing dim for a while. Can barely see in the night and not at all during the day. I needed this fixed asap. I have two teenagers ready to drive.

If your cluster is not working at all check the 240 resistors they're directly above the speedometer on the right hand side that did it for me thank you for all your help guys appreciate it

I was having issues with my gauge cluster intermittently working, then it seemed to finally die. Resoldering the resistors fixed the issue, thanks for putting this video out

I'll try this repair later on my Chevy '05. Great video ... simple instructions great results!!

Thank you for making this video!! It worked perfectly. Back up and runnning. You guys are awesome and saved me some money.

Just took mine apart today, found 5 resistors that had solder joints that needed to be re flowed. Took 5 mins, works like a charm now!!

You guys rule... thanks for doing what you do... appreciate it...

This was easy and it took me about 30 min to do. I'm a female and I know a little about trucks from my husband and I was able to do this on my own with your instructional vid. Thanks😁❤

Thanks guys that helped me out a lot do appreciate it

Thanks for the video, needed to clean up the glass in the face of the unit and your demonstration was awesome. Thank you.

great viideo, followed insructions and now my prndl light works. saved all kinds of money.

Thank you guys it worked out beautifully!

Did this on my 04 2500- RND321 is back! Thank you!

AMAZING! Thanks for this!

Great video and very helpful.

Thank you. Did this and some of my instruments came back to life. Did have a green rubber piece, brass ring and white looking cap fall out and don’t know where the belong but thanks again

Very Nice tech help. Simple solution to a GM created issue! Thank You

Great job guys!!!

Thanks for showing this. Wish me luck it maybe a while before I jump on it but this will save me butt loud of money.👍✌

Nice video guys, thanks!

Excellent video! Fixed the problem. Thank you!

Thank you. Worked for me. Had to take a pic with my phone and enlarge to see cracks in the solder, but there were cracks. Not the best soldering job, but it worked.

thank you for the info. yideo and a big thank you for keeping it on point......others want to tell about the wife...., well the weather out side....., the wife's mother....., the ol' dogs in the corner...., etc, etc,...you did a great job and kept it on point. thank you again for the info. i can only hope others well see just how to do "informative videos" the right way, thank you again for the info.

Just did this on my 05 Tahoe and it worked perfectly. I had to mess around with needles, but got it working after a couple of tries. Thank for the $$$ saving tip!!

Thank you! helped me fix my truck

Awesome presentation, thank you

The best video ever God blessed for shearing this will save people’s money keep up with your good work

This worked for my 2004 Duramax. Thanks

Thank you for sharing this guide!

Now I know what my issue is, Helpful video 👍🏻

Excellent tutorial - helped me fix intermittent issues with dash lights on my 2003 Chevy Silverado (and also fixed my speedometer and RPM gauges that had been broken forever by replacing the stepper motors.) One thing I missed - my solder was too large a gauge - got the job done but realized this video shows using a _much_ thinner solder wire than I had. Got the job done, but would have been much easier with a thinner wire. Was also my first real soldering DIY!

Just accomplished this thanks to you guys!!!

Worked!! You're the man!

Wow! It actually worked!!!! My cluster is back! I do suggest a lighted magnifying glass when doing this. Those chips are no where near as big as they looked in the video. I was able to remove and resolder the connections, and my PRNDL is back along with all my gauges. Nice to see how fast your going, and how much gas you have. Excellent video.

THANKS FOR SHARING I HAVE LEARNED ALOT

Thank you for the video. I soldered my broken 511 resistor connections and I had immediate gear indicator.

this is absolutely helpful. thankyou

You Legends! Thanks for a great video, worked a treat! Gained a new subscriber fellas!

Good job guys thank you very much was very easy thank you again

Thanks - great video. Fixed my annoying PRNDL display. Its pretty incredible how many of these GM instrument clusters seem to fail. (Love my 04 Yukon except for that!)

i found this video, the PRND indicator hasn't worked on my tahoe since i bought it, i have been putting off replacement due to cost, i tried your directions, sadly when i opened it up i can't see any breaks in the solder and not discolored, so i thought oh well, might as well try since it's open.... re-soldered, reassembled, retested, and BANG it works perfectly now! you guys are awesome i thank you very much!

Worked great. Super easy👍

Wow that grey clip was hard needed screw driver, awesome video thanks guys.

I did it and was easy as they said. thanks for the good info and how to do it

Great video

Thank you so much!!!fixed mine today

Thank you much. This worked great for me.

Thanks for the video. Touched first side of third resister I went to resolder and it popped off. Other side was cracked. All working well now Thanks again.

That means it was you. 😀 Good video, thanks!

Great video and explanation, it help me a lot /////Thank you
