The correct name should be Hellward. So did you have issues regarding the size/dimenstions from the Hellward to that one you have installed?

If you get a use cluster from the junkyard and put it in the vehicle will not start who can reprogram the dealership or a car locksmith??

Will Led lights works in place of lights in cluster.? Do you replace bulbs or the case that holds the bulb?

pornagraphic memory lol

You never showed if the speedo worked.

My 97 cluster works great but I can’t see the gears when I change them. Is that the same fix?

Most likely just a dry joint on that BGA device if there is some shock or excessive thermal cycling those tiny solder balls give in. And it's not proprietary, you can still buy it at ali, before you could buy it from digikey but it just went obsolete which is expected for cluster from a 2011 vehicle. Surprised an electronics repair shop can't reflow BGA...

You could try to reflow the prossesor. This is leadfree soldier. so it flow at 350-400 celcius. Use flux, lots of flux and heat the cpu till it moves around. Then cool and retest. You could try that. chances are that it will be fixed if the fault is not internal. Their are lots of video's about reflowing CPU and other chips. Also at louis Rossman's channel. Keep up the good work brother. Repair, reuse. God bless.

Your killing me. I learned how to do this repair 11 years ago from a youtube that was super low quality but the guy killed it on the info. Had zero soldering skills but have had much practice over the last 10 years with guitar repair and 3000 lbs printers. I gotta ask you to start out with, "WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU TAKE ALL THOSE T8S OUT?" For the love of Zues, that was a waste of time. Just use a razor knife and cut the silicone holding the two halves together. To my knowledge, there are 6 main points that cause the failure. I fixed them, and they lasted 4 years. Got the light again and was too lazy to take it out again which is the actual hard part on my GMC yukon, although I have better tools now so not as difficult as the first time. Its fiddly since you have to unscrew the T20s that are facing up with only about 8 inches clearance from the floorboard. PPeople, do not take all those screws out, just the 4 to remove it from your car. you're welcome. Oh, and as long as you don't jam the knife too deep, no worries.

Hi do you repair for canadain customers

I charge them every time, regardless if it fixed their issues because what they are paying for is my time. I do the work, they figure out their problem.

Reminds me of when I worked as an electronic test technician back in the 80's. Most bad solder connections where caused by cold soldering in the flow soldering process. They used flux that was cleaned by water baths. It did not allow the heat penetration needed to allow the PCB board through hole to "suck up" the solder to create a true bond. To make matters worse vibration over time makes a tiny component weight fracture the solder joints. Solder is a mixture of tin and lead both a very weak bond.

Thanks for this video I was able to fix my dash

Thanks man my 95 dodge b2500 speedometer and odometer went out suddenly. Change the vss still nothing . Watched this and I just re flowed my board and boom it was back. Reminded me of doing my old gmc Jimmy abs control module. Vibrations a bitch. Thanks for doing a wicked video.

Some of those pins weren’t even fully soldered thank you for this video I’m learning a lot

And if part needs to be replaced do you have a part #?

What did you use to test the gauge cluster while it was outside of the truck?

Is there any way I could get the schematic of the cluster from you? Thank you.

I'm having problem with mine 03 super duty windows won't work and gages none only a few lights on the right could you repair the one I have thanks

Thank you very much for your complete video! Others don't show the hardest part... taking off the cover! I know I destroyed the first one I attempted. After watching your video/technique I rebuilt 3 units already!

You sir, are an Effin genius!!! I followed your info exactly, and fixed my brake modual!!!! I’ve had to live with the lights on for several years, after I paid a shop to fix it, and it only lasted 6-8 months! I figured it wasn’t worth paying again- then I saw your tutorial video and said “what the hell! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!” And tried it!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! On a side note- I used a magnifying glass, AND my readers to super zoom in, and still couldn’t see any crack- but decided since I was already there- go for it! Glad I did!!! SUBSCRIBED!!

Most ABS wire harness and solenoids are not soldered, are some sort of expanding pins. With all of the vibration and abs solenoid magnetic vibration, looks like the special pins wear out the hole and continuity contacts they're in. Soldering might be a bad idea, might break the board; and so what I did was twist the pins about 15 degrees clockwise, in order to a fresh unworn contact point. Engineers should have tried using conductive springs underneath these pins, might eliminate the wear.

Where can you find the buttons am currently trying to fix mine it was also left out in the rain 😅

Thanks

What’s the burnt/black dot on the odometer screen upper left when looking at it on the table

That's what I did.. A lot of other people say you HAVE to replace the mosfet but if it's still working I don't see why it's necessary... and like you say you will be able to see if the mosfet is blown or cracked pretty easily...

This was just what I needed! Thanks for the explanation! I'll probably try some 99.9% isopropyl alcohol to release that gasket. I'll let you know how I get on! The joys of non leaded solder!

Outstanding work on repair left side works gear indicator side went dark I know it's gonna take a lot to repair or replace

Fake video, if it was real the mustang would've crashed into something

error 404: crowd not found

Ford or not I thought it was awesome.. my F150 5.0 will smoke your 5.3 Chevy.

I've got the original ECU for my 2006 Dodge Magnum that kicked the bucket, and I'm wondering if it's repairable since there's really no replacement options besides refurb

Mitsubishi have been cheaping out on caps for as long as I can remember. Working as an auto electrician 20+ years ago we repaired or replaced more Mitsubishi ECUs than everything else put together, 90% due to bad caps.

Hi, I just want to thank you for this video. My dad is a top-of-the-line car mechanic, but he has not much experience with electronics. Me on other hand, I have some level of experience in electronics due to my Computer Science graduation, but little to no knowledge in specifics of car electronics, such as ECU. My dad's car has flooded in the recent floods that happened in south of Brazil. Despite being a bit more sophisticated than an 1991 Mitsubishi ECU, this video will help me have some guidelines to diagnose my dad's 2016 VW Gol ECU and other sophisticated electronics in the car that stopped working due to the flooding. Thank you.

I knew it was vibration issue, those long country limerock roads will guarantee this on any ABS truck eventually. It pays to know how to solder.

How did you tel by l that the fuel gauge was bad? I got one on a non diesel. And the gauge does not return to empty without power. I took it all out and ohm between the signal and ground, and manually moved the floater arm. And it didn’t change Ohm’s. I feel like that’s a clear indication, but I second guessed myself.

Mine has no screws i can see. Have you opened those?

Can that cause the truck to go into limp mode?

MY ONBOARD TEST SHOWS OIL GAUGE PROBLEM.CAR RUNS GREAT FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES THE BOGS AND DIE. AND THE ON BOARD TESTER SAYS CHECK GAUGES, AND THE OIL PIN NEEDLE IS AT ZERO. I CHECKED MY OIL PRESSURE AND ITS AT 55PSI. ?????????????ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS OR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. OH AND ONBOARD DTC SHOW D900 9352 AND 9317 WHAT EVER THAT MEANS I HAVE KNOW IDEA, ANY SUGGESTINS WOULD BE MUCHLY APPRECIATED

Do you have any diesel fuel gauges fore sale

Don't know much about soldering but I don't see any cracking in this video? Not sure what I'm actually looking for?

Thanks for the video, very informative! Could you by chance tell me what size those illumination light bulbs are? Looking to swap mine out with LEDs, but the 194s I bought are too big and don't fit. Thanks again!

Freaking cool John, did my truck help make this happen? Lol, if so, I'm so glad it did! You did a great job with my brake light issue. Right after I left your place with my truck, I went straight to get an inspection performed since my registration is due this month and it easily passed. Thank you!!!

What is the tester you’re using to light up the bulbs?

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

Tysm again for your content, could it be possible for you to show us how to bench test them? (specifically speaking about the f150 2004-08's)

Greatly appreciate your work.

What can I do

I just did the solder and another piece started smoking and it fell form the motherboard

Need someone to do mine that’s in the dfw area
