  • Let's fix a 2005 Chevy Express cluster. Had a shorted serial data bus input (56585 chip input) that was taken down the entire vehicle communication and a shorted VFD display driver chip 16245294 taking down the cluster power.

    These are my favorite types of videos when the diagnosis process is explained and how to fix the problems that you come across. Great job on my 03 Sierra cluster, and I will be sending my 05 cluster that I emailed you about tomorrow. Keep the great videos coming 👍🏻

    I love your repair videos. You and fixed until broken have made me into a cluster fanatic, and it's turned into my primary income these days.
    I would like the soldering iron because I really need to upgrade from my old 10 dollar soldering iron

      If you didn't win I can heartily recommend the Pinecil and the Sequre nano 60. (I bought one when I too did not win, but the Pinecil is a $25 version of the TS100 with the power versatility of the TS80 too. Excellent soldering irons. )

    Your videos are quite instructive and the dim Sierra display I repaired using the information you provided is still working. I enjoy repairing electronics as a hobby and would love to add the USB iron to my tool box.

    Last year or maybe it was the year before my neighbor had the vacuum fluorescent display go out on his Chevy and thanks to your videos I knew how to fix it and that that little thing in the corner meant the display was good and not a bad display as my mind would have told me thanks for posting we appreciate it.

    first time i’ve seen inside an instrument cluster. very informative. i wonder how much component similarity there is between different vehicle manufacturers. surprised to see the multiple stepper motor used - makes sense for large dial analog speedo & tachometer. the one plug interface makes for easy changeover. i hate to guess cost of unit. impressed by your fault finding/fix using visual cues, simple voltage & current tests only (no schematic).

    It's also possible the vehicle was reverse polarity fed when he tried to jump it which would cause all sorts of shenanigans. Definitely interested in the Sequre Nano. Been on the lookout for a soldering micro pencil. Fortunately I'm in WI so qualify lol. If not I'll have to try to sweet talk the wife.

    Would love to win the soldering kit, but after seeing you use it will probably order it if I don't.

Seeing the tip on that makes my iron look like a pencil with a dull end.

    I was mentally shouting at you when you ignored the two components with a burnt track between them.
    One is a layered capacitor that typically goes short for no dam reason.
    Usually laptops suffer from that.

    A line to ground usually indicates a flyback diode for handling a sudden voltage spike. The kind of spike that also takes out display chips. I've had one fail on my Peavey Tube Amp and it basically did the same thing - registered as a short to ground. This era of Chevy is full of weird electrical problems, particularly in the charging circuit. I wonder if the alternator went full throttle. Alternatively, I wonder if he jumped it off a 24v system like a tractor rig....
    That's a pretty cool little iron. I bet you could get some quick field repairs done with a USB battery bank. If I get selected, I'd gladly add it to my arsenal, but if not, I'll add it to my shopping list.

I would love to try doing this stuff but at 71 cannot afford to buy all the things and learn it all. What kind of solder do you use and flux and what kind of alcohol cleaning do you use? Rubbing alcohol? Still have steady hands though.....lol
