You’re the man! Thanks for posting this. I’m working on a free car for a friend in need of some wheels and this was one hurdle that needed to be jumped. Your video plus 5 minutes of my time and she’s good to go! Thank you!!

Excellent video! However, four terminals away from the one you described as cracked there was another cracked. Thank you for what you do. It is extremely helpful.

Thank you sir! I am having the same problem on my 03 cavalier I will be giving this a shot. I just picked up a butane soldering iron for a headlight repair. Great video!

You saved me a lot of money with your pointing out the bad connection on the circuit board. No one sells a replacement 1998 Blazer instrument cluster any longer. Being able to locate the problem with the bad solder connection and eliminating my blank odometer read out issue was incredibly helpful. Thank you very much! My instrument cluster is back working like it should!

True but there's a website that can repair them but it's pricey

@Serjio Blockus With a magnifying glass, soldering gun and solder, repairing the cracks in the joints is so easy. Removing the cluster may be the hard part for some folks without a mechanical ability.

Excellent video!! Very informative!! I'm absolutely sure this will be an easy job for me to do now. Thanks for the video and Jesus loves you, John 3:16-17 (KJV)

2001 chevy blazer 4.3 v6 LT 4WD. For me it was the main dash box connection under the glove box behind the black access panels. Use a 7mm socket or driver to tighten the connection box. There should be like a million wires running into it.

Thanks for the video it work. Well I did it and I couldn't fine the 1 that was cracked so I soldered all of them and it worked. Thanks a million!!

Well thought out and presented. Of all the similar videos like this, I've never heard any narrator mention changing out the bulbs while he had the instrument cluster out. Seems like new bulbs would be brighter than those 20 year old bulbs. Besides being cheap (the bulbs) it's called preventive maintenance. Now go back in there and change out those bulbs :)

Thank you.. in my case, the solder on two pins of the LCD board itself was broken.. I soldered them and now the display is working fine

Excelente video gracias por compartir tus conocimientos

Thanks for the Video, I took mine a part all the solder look good so I cleaned the plug and socket with some Electric contact spray, and it works.

Thank you. Not the car I have but still very helpful.

Thank you very much My name was doing exactly what yours was and I'm going to fix it now very helpful

Muy bien explicado gracias👍

My 99 blazer doesnt light anything up on the cluster. Would this work if i tried it. Everything works but just no lights

I would recommend using the leaded solder just because it resists heat cycles better than the lead-free stuff.

Nice video clear and informative, I have the same problem 98 Blazer 4x4 no RPM no MPH and no mileage or gear selector , tried two clusters and no luck , after replacing fuel pump all instruments worked after never working , found burned connection at blower motor and replaced the blower motor , all fuses good , mother board on most recent instrument cluster looks good and no AC , any advice other than sellling Blazer would be appreciated and thank you for your videos on S10s

i'm having trouble finding a instrument cluster part, seems no one has one. does anyone know where i can order one online?

Nice man. Funny cause Im about to replace my fuel gauge on my Chevy and its gonna be about the same process.

Thanks! Yeah, should be pretty similar.

The gears are still showing on my gauge cluster but the mileage is not. Is it possible that I’m having the same problem as you did in this video? I just don’t want to remove the dash if I don’t have to.

I have the same problem .. but my GMC is 1992 with no digital reads .. any thoughts .. ?

Thanks. Looks like I could do that.

Thanks. I have a 98 S10 and my odometer and gear indicator are flickering. My grandma has a Buick Century and her odometer and gear indicator don't work at all. Hopefully I can fix them both.

I’m having a similar issue with my truck. Some of the pins I have are bent over the board traces. Could that be part of the problem?

MIGHTYMECHANIC ## )) ^^ I disconnected the Temperature sending unit/temp sense, so How can I test the instrumentation temp gauge in my cars dash board by itself to check if its working correctly, what do I need to do?

my gauge digital display only works when the cruise control fuse is out. any ideas? Temp gauge not working either. HELP!!

I'll leave the soldering stuff up to my mechanic but I do love the music 🎵

My speedometer and odometer don't work not sure what proper mileage I really have

how to repair mitsubishi lancer gt? mileage missing bro

If the shift indicator light is off can this effect the transmission from shifting in to second? These things happened at the same time.

If you buy a scan tool, it should be able to read the mileage. You can find them on Amazon

I got a 2011 impala and I can’t see anything on my cluster

How much would this cost at a mechanic

Most mechanics wouldn't touch this. You would have to go to a Gague Repair Service and they usually start around $100

Wish it was that simple for me, but all of my connections are just fine 😭 on mine it will light up if I hit the cluster or sometimes it will just randomly come on when I'm driving

You didn't even show how you fix the crack on the circuit board. You just said wala magic it's fixed.

So it’s a connected behind display not the fuse box

What about checking the fuse?

I believe the fuse for that controls all the back lighting. So if it’s bad than all the lights would be out.

Super helpful buddy. About to do this on my 1998 Chevy S10. I wonder if it is possible to reset the digital mileage? Hmmm. Thank for the clear, detailed video explanation!
