Yes a link to source materials & soldering kit used would truly be helpful Matt. Also, include what your using as your test power source (12v batt ?) and show end to end terminal connections. Tips to prevent frying the boards in the process would be great. TY
Just found your channel, I have a question… do those LED’s have internal current limiting resistors in them? All LED’s need this or else they will burn out.
How do u know which is the negative and positive on the circuit board to each set of lights (the face and buttons)? I don't want to do this and then have to redo it to get the polarity right
@@FixedUntilBroken looking forward to that video myself, I’m currently doing this and stuck on that part, I already removed 1 of the 3 leds and the part under it with a knife but not sure how to jump it as you stated
Do you have a video for silverado 2005, because I would like to change all the lights, in All the controls, and can you give me the number or model of the leds are you using please?
How do you run a jumper ?? I bought 12v leds and can’t get the top ones to come on also fried my panel in the process so I need a new one to put leds in 😂
So if I'm understanding right the board is fried so I don't think a jumper will help much but to to run one all you do is use a razor knife or something similar to scratch the solder mask off where you want to run your jumper at and then use enameled wire or something for a jumper

Any decent desoldering gun. Not really wanting to spend 120 to just change leds on the climate. What I understand is that the door are tricky. The dash i belive just has regular bulbs the only thing is the climate and the smaller buttons aside the cluster. Is it worth me investing 120 or so for that specific gun being use. Please and thanks in advance
If you are going to do the door switches they can be hard do desolder so yes I recommend a decent desoldering gun to do this. Either This: amzn.to/3IMmKxv (I've owned and liked it) or this amzn.to/3sJHZL4 (never owned it but I've heard its a good entry level one). Don't bother with anything cheaper or your going to burn up the circuit board.
@@joerivas9847 I just bought another climate control from the junkyard in case I messed up. But as long as you get the polarity right, they will work. Just desolder the old bulbs from the back & pull them out. Don’t just clip the old bulbs off.
The gauge clusters in the 02 & older is twist locks thank God. 03+ you have to pull the needles to get to the bulbs. And those are a pain to get set right.

try joining the facebook group and ask in there. its about impossible to diagnose issues in the youtube comment section. let me know if I need to drop the link.
Sorry I don't have particular seller to recommend but for orders of 100 or less I recommend eBay just search 4.7mm led of what ever color you are looking for. Only one to stay away from is partsam. The partsam ones look similar but they have a different resistor on them. They burn out really fast.

@@henrytoledo4103 Partsam ones have given me a alot of trouble. Apparently the factory in china that was making the leds I like quite so now we are left with parsam or a knock off partsam. Lighthouse led is making a new cube led so I am going to try those out but I am in a pickle now trying to source a new LED source.
Dude.. the company that was making those led stopped and the new one is shit. I don't have a link anymore for them. Try the leds IMBIVIOUS sells they should work good for you. does that work for you???
On the 3 bulb ones yes. The reason you have to do this is because the voltage drop across 6 LEDs is lower than the forwarding voltage. (The 6volts is done by running 2 bulbs in series that's why it's 6 bulbs not 3 bulbs) that's also why you don't have an issue with cube leds. You don't have deal with as much voltage drop.
@@bananadarks16 oh no when I say 3 bulbs I'm talking about individual led bulbs on each LEDs assembly. Like the little round disk of LEDs..idk how describe it lol. Yeah the top 3 of the circuit board are 12v and the bottom circuit board is at 6v
There it's not 6V and 12V bulbs. Each bulb uses approx. 6V . 2 incandecent bulbs in series drains the 12V supplied. Im doing this to my Chevy Colorado now.
