Thermostat Repair: Partners Choice Thermostat t601-2

In this how to video I repair a Partners Choice Thermostat. It is model T601-2. The issue I was having was a low temperature read out. I replaced the failing potentiometer to fix it. This repair took about 10 minutes to do. Only tools required are a soldering iron, screw drivers, Solder wick or solder sucker and solder. Parts needed was 1 THT 20k potentiometer.

$30 for a new one so I wouldn't offer it as a service but its for sure worth fixing for yourself if you have broken thermostat.

Good one! Interesting stuff.

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Thank you.

Bummer, didn't work for me. The installer stripped the screw in the back panel and I cannot find a replacement for it.

Do you do any commision work?

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Like as a realtor. No I am not a license realtor. You don't need a license to buy and rent but you do to do commission work.

I tried vin flashing a 2003 cluster on a 2005 Suburban and it bricked the mcu

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Yes you can't do that. 03/04 have a different mcu on it than 05, 06/07c have.
