Caution: We get more and more of these with damaged circuit board due to inadequate soldering skills. Sometimes they are damaged beyond repair and as you probably know it's almost impossible to find one for under $500. Please do not try this unless you know what you're doing and are equipped with the right tools. I know I do make it look easy, But that is because I have the right equipment and years of experience. PS. Please don't remove the needles. There is no need to. Most of the time it will pull the pin out of the motor which makes the motor junk.
Hey i have a question does the air bag on that year have a bulb on the cluster" and where is it located i couldn't find it " please respond when u have time and read this..
@@thefoxx6262 , yes they do , they actually have two of them one for passenger located on dash board , the other one for driver locate in the multimeter itself , the driver one is linked to the diagnose sensor unit through your steering spiral unit , the diagnose sensor unit is located under the driver seat it controls all SRS including seat belts . now , if you having problems with any of warning lights flashing ? ( a normal automated by diagnose sensor is active every time you turn on the ignition switch to on for 7 seconds and goes of ) , if it stays on or flashes ? there is a proceedure to run troubleshooting without consult devices the dealers use . and that is as follows : step 1- disconnect both battery terminals , wait aproximately 3 minutes . and connect them both . step 2 - open driver door , insert your ingition key and turn to ON ( do not start the vehicle ) step 3- press the door switch 5 times within 7 seconds , this will trigger the self diagnose mode as follows : A- the warning lamp will turn ON for 7 seconds and then turn OFF for 2 seconds , and then trun ON for 3 seconds, and it repats 2 second OFF and 3 second ON , this means the memory has not been eraised from any prior fix or intemiten melfuntion been detected from the past . or ? B- the warning light will turn ON for 7 seconds , then turns OFF for 2 seconds , then starts flashinf 7 times within 5 seconds and repeats that . this means the SRS system is melfunctioning and needs repairs .
The video content will encourage DIYs to try first and then send you the board already destroyed, if you want to avoid this, modify the video on before and after, otherwise will keep on happening because it looks easy for people who know how to solder but most of them don't even use flux and they will keep the iron too much time on the board making an easy repair a nightmare. being there a lot. good luck
Thanks so much for showing this. I re-pointed all of the joints, rubbed some DeoxIT on all of the connectors, and fixed the non-functional odometer and speedometer needle. (I have 40 years experience soldering and used to do field service on PCs with this era electronics and connectors)
Do yourself a favor and just send it to them. These clusters are nearly impossible to find today for less than 400 to 500 bucks and even then they may not work. Just got mine back and it works like new, plus they warranty the work. Took about 10 days from the time I shipped it until it was back in the truck. Highly recommend them and their service.
Hello, I need your help. I reflash my eeprom with the dump file that I bought on your website everything works again so thank you ! But I'll need to replace the stepper motor for my speedo gauge ( it's not in Really good condition and the spring is dead ) Do you know where I can found this part ?
My odometer works so if I skipped that section would that save me from reprogramming? Normally my Speedo stays on 40 mph while moving and my fuel gauge stays at full 90% of the time.
were i can download the software you use? I have a VP199 programmer that can read the EEPROM but i see as HEX only and i dont have translation of the data to see my recorded miles.
In this video we used the Carprog original from codecard.lt . the software only works with there programmer which is around $2k. If you'd like to email us the file we can check how much miles it has.
Hi my name is Frank and I have a 98 Nissan Frontier my brother tried to fix my speedometer and now the tach doesn't work and the airbag light stays on would you be able to fix that for me
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions no I don't think he remove the gauge needles but he did try to resolder it in places that he thought had a bad connection providing we can fix it can you tell me what would it would entail and how long it would take because I tried driving it without the instrument cluster in there and it won't charge the battery so my battery went dead
Gracias por compartir, el servicio dice que es de $100, y si el mío ésta un 80 0/0 malo, cuanto costaría reparar, yo vivo en Guatemala, y tengo que pagar envió ida y vuelta, gracias
No, if you fix it then worse case scenario is that if all indicators are back to normal that you need to reset the ECU with a scanner to erase the P0500 code.
send it in we'll repair it for you. www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/collections/instrument-cluster-repair-service/products/1998-2001-nissan-frontier-instrument-cluster-speedometer-repair-service
Parece que esas nissan son un dolor de cabeza, tengo una 1998 automatica palanca arriba y en California no pasa el smog control por esa idiotez...yA LE cambiene l speed sensor y nada.
Si te da el P0500 puede ser por a) el sensor (que los dientes plasticos estén desgastados), b)cableado del sensor en mal estado, c) el Cluster, casi siempre es el cluster y no puedes notar cuando ya te empieza a fallar cualquier cosa en el cluster mismo

I have a pathfinder 99 I live i florida. How much will be to get repair the cluster. Sometimes it goes blank and the only working is the gas gauge
Thanks so much for showing this. I re-pointed all of the joints, rubbed some DeoxIT on all of the connectors, and fixed the non-functional odometer and speedometer needle. (I have 40 years experience soldering and used to do field service on PCs with this era electronics and connectors)
I Live in Arkansas. I was wondering what the price for my 98 frontier and turn around time? thanks.

LOL if I tried to solder that , it would be one piece and weigh 25 pounds.....nice work.
Question. Is the programming part only for the miles on the vehicle. Or is it for the functionality of the parts as well?
Can you repair my 1990 Nissan D21 pickup Instrument Cluster? The fuel gauge died and the speedometer needle is bent. Dave
Hello, I need your help.
I reflash my eeprom with the dump file that I bought on your website everything works again so thank you !
But I'll need to replace the stepper motor for my speedo gauge ( it's not in Really good condition and the spring is dead )
Do you know where I can found this part ?
14:15 where can i get this adapter or is it something you've made?And if so, is it similar to the one normally used to reprogram the eprom
My odometer works so if I skipped that section would that save me from reprogramming?
Normally my Speedo stays on 40 mph while moving and my fuel gauge stays at full 90% of the time.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions I was planning on doing this myself.
might you happen to have a ttorial on nissan sentra 1997-1998 mine keep going off i.e fuel gauge and the temp and the speedo
I got a 1998 and fuel always full temperature hot and speedometer bounce from zero to 110 and are you still in business
Mines looks like it's going out. The speed is off by like 5 miles and it jumps up and down a bit.
Can you tell me how to power it up without a plug? Is it not possible to do that?
My lights on cluster go on for 5 seconds and turn off,why
can u send the link I have a 1992 maxima gxe not reading the speed
Shit you are good at that soldering
were i can download the software you use? I have a VP199 programmer that can read the EEPROM but i see as HEX only and i dont have translation of the data to see my recorded miles.

What size are the instrument cluster bulbs?
do you have diagram file for this PCB ?
Does this apply to the frontier 2001? Mine gauge la just dies while back light still work
No. The 2001 cluster is redesigned
Hello I would like to know if you repair boards I am in Mexico or just sell I have a board that fails from my truck
We repair these not sell them. You would have to send your cluster to us for repair. Thanks for watching.
Hi my name is Frank and I have a 98 Nissan Frontier my brother tried to fix my speedometer and now the tach doesn't work and the airbag light stays on would you be able to fix that for me
If he didn't remove the gauge needles then we likely can still fix it.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions no I don't think he remove the gauge needles but he did try to resolder it in places that he thought had a bad connection providing we can fix it can you tell me what would it would entail and how long it would take because I tried driving it without the instrument cluster in there and it won't charge the battery so my battery went dead
@@johnbodnar3586 we repair and send back within 24 hours of receiving it. The whole process usually takes about a week depending on your location

what kind of eeprom reader are you using thanks
I used an original carprog here($2k) not sure if a clone will work.
Are there any dumps of the program available online?
Here is where you can buy a good file. goo.gl/VCiogG
Simple enough. I just sent the guy your way. I have everything to do it, but your repair price is reasonable. Thanks.
Great, thanks
Need mine fixed 1998 Nissan frontier ex 4x4
If I’m doing this repair on my own truck do I need to reset it or plug it back into a computer?
No, if you fix it then worse case scenario is that if all indicators are back to normal that you need to reset the ECU with a scanner to erase the P0500 code.

Dale una resoldada a los pines donde conecta el harnes los pines estan flojos ocupa resoldadr.
Parece que esas nissan son un dolor de cabeza, tengo una 1998 automatica palanca arriba y en California no pasa el smog control por esa idiotez...yA LE cambiene l speed sensor y nada.
Si te da el P0500 puede ser por a) el sensor (que los dientes plasticos estén desgastados), b)cableado del sensor en mal estado, c) el Cluster, casi siempre es el cluster y no puedes notar cuando ya te empieza a fallar cualquier cosa en el cluster mismo
If i new how complicated was, I would buy something older, Jesus is like i have a 747 instead of aN easy truck....I hate that,
Usually older D21 trucks will have cluster issues as well, in my opinion this one is easier to repair than the older ones.
