I just want to thank you so much for this video! I almost spent over 200 bucks on a cluster! Instead spent 15 bucks on stepper motors and maybe 20 bucks on tools. Never soldered before. Thanks to your detailed, easy, step-by-step video, my gauges and bulbs are back to normal! Wish I could buy you a beer bro! Thank you again!

@stevethomas2094 3 года назад

Easily the best description of this task on youtube. Very informative without "too much information" that over-complicates the job unnecessarily. Thanks!

@sarahbohren4199 8 лет назад

Thank you for this video. I fixed my 2003 Chevy Tahoe with no issue. It was my first time ever using a soldering iron! Feeling pretty proud of myself!

+Sarah Bohren Thank You!

Ordered the suggested motors, installed, etc, everything worked flawlessly. Awesome walk-through down to the detail. The fork to remove and tape to keep it's calibration suggestion was 5*. (I used a knife under the fork to prevent dents by fork). Turned possibly $400+ into $30. Keep up the good work, guy!

@theresinsamurai4520 10 лет назад

This was the best video on youtube for this. You actually showed everything you need to know and the camera was steady and in focus. THANK YOU!!!

@danielfonseca4642 7 лет назад

Very good illustration on this tutorial .. you went from A to Z ... and helped me and I'm sure a lot of people ... Keep up the great work .... You or a god send....

@terryshinew2946 9 лет назад

I found this to be one of the best videos I've watched. It was perfect in every way. I now know how to fix my 2004 Buick's fuel gauge problem. Thanks

@jeffpersichitte2166 6 лет назад

I've been dealing with no speedometer or any other gauges for that matter for YEARS! This video gave me the courage to pull the dash and fix it myself vs. paying the dealership $500. It cost me $50 and about 3 hours but now I have all my gauges working again! I also replaced all the lights while I was in there and everything works perfectly. Thank you for this video!!!!!

@saradayton2050 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for your help!! My cluster was out for almost 3 years and thanks to you instead of paying $400 it only cost my wife and our friend $30!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

@doityourselfbri 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@lektrikbass 9 лет назад

Well done, clear & concise instruction. The only critique I have is to caution soldering novices on damaging the pc board. I know you mentioned it but a little more on the damage that overheating can cause.

@doityourselfbri 9 лет назад

lektrikbass Thank you, that is a very good point!

@Negastoat 8 лет назад

Thank you so very much for making this video. I used a different video to assist with my taking off the dash trim and removing the instrument cluster, and then used this video to assist with replacing 4 stepper motors in a 2004 Impala. I spent 17 bucks on Amazon for the stepper motor / LED light kit, and 11 bucks on a quality solder sucker tool. A few hours later everything was put back together tight and all my gauges are working like they should. Without your help, my Impala would still be doing 110 mph while parked (broken spedometer / stepper motor). You are the best!

@doityourselfbri 8 лет назад

+Nega Stoat Thanks!

@Precious2theLord 9 лет назад

IT WORKED!!! I must say.. I was scared to do it. but I pray and it worked out. I was going to be charged $300 to fix it and I paid $56 to fix it my self. Thank you so much.

@cristaylor5311 8 лет назад

Thanks a lot, I just fixed someone else's repair who obviously didn't calibrate them. Worked great.

@avp0713 8 лет назад

"Its a good idea to pay attention to which needle goes where, when you're taking them off." lol..., the moment you took them off I thought that to myself.. just tape them down next to their respective dials. Anyway, this is a great video... thats all there is to it.. thanks

@marazul4791 6 лет назад

My needle doesn't work. They are down. the only one is in good condition is the one in the midle.

@tonyjohnson1152 9 лет назад

Thanks for video. I was able to repair the tach and speedometer in my 04 Silverado. I replaced all 6 steppers. Saved $200.

@johnbragg4226 8 лет назад

Great job!!! I was able to perform this repair in under a half hour after watching this video. Going by the research I have done doing it myself saved me between $600 and $1200!!! You did a great job with this video and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for doing this I really appreciate it

@pacrattracing 8 лет назад

This video has been immeasurably helpful as I did my '05 Suburban.$30 for 6 stepper motors, $25 for a desoldering iron and about 1-1/2 hours labor (could've been 1 hour, but I'm extra slow & meticulous).ALOT less than the $200+ it would cost to have a dealer do it.THANKS SO MUCH, BRIAN !!

04 GMC EnVoy, where do U get the stepper motors from?

@kevinjones4528 7 лет назад

dealership told my customer his ecm was bad because his cluster stopped working. they wanted $1,200 to fix it. i found your video & replaced the steper motors like you did. thanks bud, you saved my customer $1,100. i told him if he didn't mind me experimenting & it works, I'll do it for $100. we are both happy.

@dwyazzie 9 лет назад

Great video. All of my motor gauges are non functional on my 2003 Silverado, but some are stuck at various positions, fuel is stuck at the 7 o'clock position. How would I calibrate/correct the position when installing a new stepper motor? Also, do you have a link to order these stepper motors?

@doityourselfbri 8 лет назад

+Darrell Yazzie You can call my cell at 385-439-7035. I can sell them to you please leave a message if I don't answer. I can give you more instructions with the purchase of the stepper motors. Thanks

@ramelstevens7726 9 лет назад

Hey bri... i have a 2004 gmc yukon denali how do i replace the stepper motors and bulbs? By the way great video 👍

@doityourselfbri 9 лет назад

Ramel Stevens The cluster is basically the same as the one in the video. You can also replace the bulbs when you have it apart. Let me know if you need the motors I have them in stock 801-292-1331

@ramelstevens7726 9 лет назад

I do and i need the l.e.d bulbs..

@doityourselfbri 9 лет назад

Ramel Stevens I don't have and l.e.d bulbs, however I have I standard bulbs.

@ramelstevens7726 9 лет назад

Ok how do i purchase ur stepper motors? Do i replace them all?

@doityourselfbri 9 лет назад

Ramel Stevens You can call the shop tomorrow 801-292-1331 8am 6pm MTN Time. I would defiantly recommend replacing all motors, while you have the cluster apart. The old motors were defective and fail all the time, however the new ones I will send you last much longer and may never fail.

@nancychvarak3688 8 лет назад

@doityourselfbri 8 лет назад

+Nancy Chvarak That's Great!

@damanifesto 8 лет назад

Thanks for your help. i just changed four stepper motors in my 2005 Impala guage cluster for about 30 bucks & 3 hours worth of elbow grease. Surgery was a success. A professional de-solderer is a must, the pins are small and de-soldering wick doesn't do that much good. Good video!

@doityourselfbri 8 лет назад

Thanks!

@TitaniummanGarage 5 лет назад

Great Video. Strait forward. Very easy to do after watching you. Just fixed my 2003 Suburban gauges. They all worked great. For those watching. Get the desolder gun like his with the pump. makes it very easy.

@ggonzalez3181 8 лет назад

thank you very much for this video 👍😎 i have a chevy suburban 2004 and with this video i learn a lot , thank you very much God Bless You👍😎

@nathantv8257 5 лет назад

Your tape idea is awesome. I paid $22 on eBay for a kit with motors and soldering tool. I replaced all three motors tonight and used the tape idea. Everything went perfectly and all working. First time soldering.

Thanks Bri. Replaced stepper motors on my 04 Montana. Temperature gauge stuck at max, not very safe... Saved a bundle. Continue your good work!

@martinluther4093 5 лет назад

Very good! Clearly explained, with good camera technique. Now I have to buy a DEsoldering iron.

@ainstaink8312 7 лет назад

Great detailed video!!! I have a 2006 trailblazer and some of the lights in the dash are out too. It would probably make sense to change the stepper motors and replace the bulbs at the same time!

@tamiebasse6595 5 лет назад

So many videos don't tell how to get the needles back in place in the correct position. This is very clear. Thanks a lot.

@datchulo1085 8 лет назад

Thank you for the tip on putting on the needle. My f150 gauge was way off I wasn't sure how to adjust it. I'll try it today and hopefully I should be good

@mikeharris6960 6 лет назад

Great tutorial. I must say be careful on the pads to anyone trying this. I attempted the fix and tore the circuit board pads off. Going to attempt to reinstall my cluster this morning. Not sure if it will work. Just be aware, anyone who is a soldering novice, the desoldering can be tricky. All else worked! And your video inspired me to try! Thanks!

@esterpermelund5682 9 лет назад

Very pedagogic video! Maybe I have this problem with my Tahoe -04. Thanks a lot from Sweden!

@BankaiTousen 7 лет назад

bought a H2 03 few months ago a week later Rpm gauge started acting wanky and now the emgine temp gauge so thanks to this video i plan on repairing this myself instead of spending the 500-650 that people are requesting on ebay for a new cluster. thanks for the vid!!

@troyboy7610 6 лет назад

Awesome man! Thanks for making this video. I have a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer and the speedometer, oil pressure and fuel gauges are not functioning correctly or at all. I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars that I don't have to have someone fix it for me so I plan on doing it all myself. The only purchase I need is a soldering iron/pump and a T15 tool and the stepper motors!

@humper69er 9 лет назад

good god! i found what my problem is after buying a new fuel pump! it was just the stepper!!! DUDE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! i have a Pontiac Montana 04.

@humper69er 9 лет назад

so if i replace the stepper, my guage is stuck way past full. how would i know if i align the gauge correctly?

@doityourselfbri 9 лет назад

***** Push the motor/needle back to the point it stops, that is the place to make the mark.

@humper69er 9 лет назад

Thanks!

@mikehuffman6464 9 лет назад

Great video! Changed all six stepper motors in my 04 Trailblazer. Your video is perfect. I am not a GM man but this is a well engineered vehicle. The only problem I have found is that some of the components are very low quality, i.e. the circuit boards in the instrument cluster, radio, climate control, etc. Stepper Motors and Light Bulbs should be on push pins rather that soldered in. Keep up the good work!

@llo7816 5 лет назад

@abstewartful 9 лет назад

Neither of my vehicles have the type cluster you repaired in this video but I watched anyway because I was impressed with the conduct. I do have a 1988 chevy van G20 which has now a very noisy/erratic speedometer (especially in cold weather). Thinking it was lack of cable lube I had that service done (mechanic charged me $100 to lube the cable) but still have the same snapping scrapping sound with a bouncing needle. Checked back with the mechanic doing the lube and he said the problem was the gear assembly in the gauge itself. I shiver to think what he would charge for that service. Can you give me some insight
