hey jeff, i have the same one but with the aiwa speakers, but even at max the volume is still really low, is there any way i can fix it?

@jeffescortlx 6 сағат бұрын

Is the volume low on all the inputs, have you tried CD, radio tuner or cave player? When you turn the volume knob up the volume numbers count up?

ok well would explain why mine goes in and out depending on temperature. and i could solder but 1 i dont have a soldering iron and i myself havent been to keen to mess with it. think i will just get an aftermarket radio with a cdplayer and bluetooth. theyre not that costly even to have best buy install them. and ive been kinda wanting a full screen touch radio anyway. but still interesting to know why pushing on it i get changes in brightness when it does display or tapping affects it.

I used to get a split-second signal loss of the cluster when hitting a bump but as soon as I grounded A8, the problem became much worst. The needle readings are completely off and when I turn everything off and remove the key from the ignition they still flicker slightly....:( should I remove the ground from the PCM and only use another one??

@jeffescortlx 3 күн бұрын

Sounds like you're probably having internal cluster issues.

@MrShenron89 3 күн бұрын

OK so I got it working again.....I completely cut out the ground to the PCM and grounded the wire to the frame. There are two nice bolts/nuts right outside the fuse box. I simply added another 10mm nut on top of the existing one with wire running up top lol nicely hidden.

@MrShenron89 3 күн бұрын

@@jeffescortlx eliminated the ground to the PCM alltogether and grounded A8 to the frame. I had followed another youtuber and the comments were all positive. I am certain your fix is much better. I just found it odd that having the PCM still connected and grounding it elsewhere didn't fix my issue but only grounding it to a metal location did it.

That didn't look like a re-solder job, just a process of melting some kind of flux over the pins sticking out. What kind of flux was that? I've fixed those kinds of faults when I found corrosion on those type of pins that were shorting it to the pin next to it. Usually just cleaning that off restores function.

Lately I have one where the VFD chip died and it keeps killing all replacements. And of course the 05 voltage regulator that does the 12v to 5v dying, if anyone knows what chip that is would really like to know. But I'll take those over previous hack jobs. Stepper motor traces are easy to fix, the worst is when your hunting missing resistors and caps by the mcu without a microscope.

@jeffescortlx 19 күн бұрын

The group of resistors to the left of the speedometer stepper motor has fractured solder joints. But chances are if your cluster has not been rebuilt and has enough use to fracture those joints, you probably have other solder joints that are also ready to be reflowed, and more than likely you have bulbs at the end of the life too, and you might even have the original defective stepper motors. It's best to just plan on a full rebuild.
