Fixed Until Broken

On this channel you will see me repair common issues on automotive electronics and other consumer electronics. I do these repairs as a hobby and decided I would upload some videos of repairs I have not seen on here on KZread yet. Hopefully you find my channel useful. Feel free to email me about anything you see on my channel or if you are interested in having something repaired.

    I thought these chips were long discontinued. Are the NOS, or is someone now making them again? Either way, great job, and keep up the good work!

    I have a cluster reading Odometer ERROR. Is this system able to first read and see if the original mileage is still stored, and then rewrite correctly?

    so i did the cluster swap from a caddy into my 05 z71 -- everything works great but since i dont have rear disc brakes the cluster tells me to check for them -- is there a way to turn this off???

    It's here! Now, maybe I can revisit the 99-02 to 03-07 swap? IDK, I don't own one of these trucks anymore, so it will be difficult.

    Would you be happening to be talking about a cluster swap? I actually have a fully working 06 cluster in my 02 truck without modifying the cluster itself.like pi clusters, even got the wheel controls working. If so I have a ton of information I can provide

    Even to the point of miss classifying your item leaving others in place with exactly the same item selling. Spite at customer service is high! Spite for the sake of it, not earned spite either.

    I just didn’t motors in my trailblazer but I was going to use led lights n plugged it in to test which way they went but the kept blowing my original lights work but I wanted blue ones what type of light are you useing are they 12v and where can I buy a bunch of them I want to do my other cars too I had really good luck with the stepper motors with a solder sucker by hand and took all my lights out and had to put them back in because I think the leds were like 2.3 v

    To check if the center pins on the 3v3 regulator are common just measure the resistance across them you don’t need to lift the component. I’m sure they are common as this is evident on another video where they are reducing the data lines to 3v3

    Thanks for this. Used these directions and your programming tool to add this to my truck. I have a 2004 Yukon XL for the Canadian market, so when I went in the bit was originally 21. I changed it to 20 and it works. I also took the time to replace the burnt out lights with new ones from Mouser Electronics, part number 560-ESM1EW10YLW.

    Pulled the speedometer motor out of my 97 blazer cluster and forgot to look at the orientation. The board attaches directly to the speed/odom, and the board has 1-4 for speedometer. Seems to be able to go back in 2 different directions for pin out...Any help on correct orientation. Back of can has a 3 on it. The odometer has A+/A- and B+/B- so that's not help...

    sorry for your story, man. I get it. ebay's customer service is a total joke now. they hide their phone number because they want you to deal through e-mail. But you end up getting replies back and forth from a different person every time that barely understands English (no, I'm not a bigot, just pointing out that they can't help you if they don't understand you when you logically explain a situation). they don't care about sellers. they kiss the asses of buyers. I had an item get delivered to the wrong address by USPS (I called USPS and they ADMITTED that they messed up). buyer filed claim. ebay refunded them and took my funds. I explained that USPS told me an alien label somehow got stuck over my label and item was misdelivered. they didnt care. they claimed it was MY responsibility to make sure item arrives to buyer. even though I obviously did my part and USPS messed up. to top it off, they DOUBLE-charged me for the final value fees. had to beg and plead for it back. and they said "we'll make a onetime exception." gave me back $3.03 of the $3.43 (they'll NEVER give up the $.40 transaction fee, FYI). I'm dangerously close to bailing on this site. Depop has been a godsend lately to get away from this nonsense.

    I recently bought a 2003 Tahoe. It looks like I have BO bulbs behind the Water Temperature and Voltmeter gauges. They don't light up at night with the truck's lights on. I see now I can't just reach behind the dash and twist out a 168 bulb and change it. This is way more complicated than I want to deal with.

    I don't understand the logic. You are hacking an ECM/PCM to send class 2 VPW data? Just get something like an ELM327 and send the class 2 data directly to the IPC! The SAE HS-3000 spec manual is available.
