Great job, Jeff, love watching you work Your right he got off easy , I don't know what the clusters cost but it probably a lot more than your services. Back in the 80's , did repair of smt's on ceramic substrate for naval radar, things have come a long way. Thanks , keep up the good work stay safe and enjoy the ride.
Thank you. Yes repair service is quite a bit cheaper than a replacement. Since this truck is a 2500 they cost more, plus no refurbishment center would take a melted cluster in as a core. So it probably would have cost him $500+ for a remanufactured programmed unit without a core return credit.
WOW! You are great! if It were my truck, I'd think that was toast and I'm sure no one else would even touch it. I don't know if you remember me but about a year ago I sent you my HVAC digital climate controls to my 06 Yukon for you to replace the back lights. Works great I sent it all the way from California and the price was very reasonable! Thanks for a job well done!
Smoke is corrosive. Learned that from a house fire my mom had that caused metal parts on furniture that was not damaged but was covered with smoke to rust. Great videos. I am a handyman who often takes on projects that even though I have never done I am able to figure out how to fix. I have an 03 suburban that I bought the Amazon kit for I tried not going with the cheapest but not sure if I succeeded in that. I have been very hesitant in doing my cluster (owned the truck and kit almost 3 years now). I now have no power to my cluster so going to have to step up and either attempt to fix myself or pay someone, which is probably what I should do but I also want to learn how to do this myself... looks like either way you will be getting lots of view time from me...lol
Great work Jeff, I love seeing seemingly destroyed gear be brought back to life. I'm in the AV business plus I love restoring older cars so I really get a thrill in turning what at first seems like garbage into a factory fresh component. Merry Christmas
Something calming about these videos... like a Bob Ross video. 🤔 I wonder if that's why your channel popped up in suggestions. Merry Christmas everyone!!!
That was cool, thanks for sharing! About 20 yrs ago I had a display that flickered, looked close a found cracks in the joints on a chip, quick heat to melt them closed, worked!
You should totally get an ultrasonic cleaner like Louis has, it seems like it really works. Should help with the initial board cleaning. Great video as always!
A great video for a Christmas eve. Nicely done sir. A Blessed and Merry Christmas to you and your extended family. Oh yeah...and the furry overseer as well.
Great video Jeff. I've actually done a couple fire damaged cluster rebuilds before. The oxidation on the SMD components caused by the fire made it notably harder to rework the common failure points. But I must say, mine were no where near as bad as yours. I didn't see any water damaged components in the ones I've repaired.
@@jeffescortlx Probably no time soon. I don't have the proper equipment, or the time to do it right. I honestly don't know how you find the time to do it.
Great job! Didn’t expect that to be saved lol. I have an 06 Silverado I bought at auction. Cluster works fine except no check engine light. Where do I find the correct LED if it were removed? I haven’t pulled it yet to see what’s going on because I wanted to have all parts and tools ready before I took it apart. Thanks.
A properly remanufactured reprogrammed cluster with trans temp without a core return typically runs about five to six hundred dollars. My rebuild service is 130 plus the cost of a new lens and shipping.
Fantastic repair! Do you only work on GM products? Got a Honda cluster with what seems to be a bad speedo and tach needles. IOW it's misreading the actual speed and engine RPM.
The truth is, if you don't have/can't get replacement stepper motors, you can easily take them apart and lubricate them(just make sure you're using something almost liquid lubricant, otherwise they won't work either). I had to repair my servos, because my speed and revolution gauge both had a stiff pont( after 18 years of use) where they tend to get stuck for the next pothole. These servos(at least in my car) look almost the same as tipical chinese alarmcloks from the inside.
Randomly came across your video, quick question. I've always been interested in what it would take to make custom gauges in a stock bezel, and the simplest place to start was gauge faces. would you happen to know the material(s) is it made out of, and where could I source it?
Jeff. First of all thanks for your videos. Very helpful to lots of us! Question: I have a PCM from a 2001 Tahoe and have been successful in using it on the bench to test the temperature gauge and fuel level gauge. Tachometer is easy as I can just use a square wave directly to the cluster. Speedometer not so easy. I have tried sending a square wave to the VSS inputs on the pcm and get nothing out to the cluster and shows 0 speed when watching it with a scan tool. Any insight as to how to simulate a VSS input to the PCM? Thanks!
What/s the general cost on this repair? This is one of those things I'd always assume can't be fixed because replacement components would be non-existent unless you pull parts from other clusters and the repair costs would outweigh a replacement. Fascinating to watch. Are the bulbs motors and plastics things that can be bought separately or are these pulled from other vehicles?
Rebuild cost generally runs half of replacement cost. But there is no such thing as a "new" replacement. When your buying one from the dealer or parts store your just buying someone elses refurbished cluster. You you might as well save a buck and have your own cluster refurbished. Yes the important parts are available new.
Amazing that the electronics survived, i expected it to be in cloud cuckoo land :-D. The louis rossmann comment made me laugh, he never puts enough flux on the pcb lol. His i.c's should float away on a river of flux. I watch him a lot, but he gets too silly at times. Paul the ex army marine is very good and so neat, much like yourself he has pride in the quality of his repairs. I think your loverly cat does a good job of managing you :)
Can you suggest where to check on my 02 Sierra cluster? PRNDL/ODO display only illuminates when key is turned to accessory position. Red battery in message center is constantly on but alternator is putting out 15v to battery running. Fuel gauge is pegged E all the time. Not sure if these are 3 separate issues or where to start looking. Thanks
Could you tell me where to find the plug pin-out for a 2005 cavalier ? i have it for practice trying to get it fired up Thank-you for your time and effort
i have access to about 200 integument clusters. They are out of the vehicle however,I do not know functionality of any of them. I just want to unload them as is. Any suggestions? Im finding stuff from 2015- 1980's
No offense but I feel as if the junkyard would have had a cluster for less than $20! By the way how do you know where to reinstall the needles for the gauges? Years back I swapped the speedometer in a Crown Victoria. Re-used the original odometer so the needle had to come off and back on. It is not keyed, so I literally spent a couple of hours with the cluster disassembled driving down the road with my GPS trying to get the needle set as accurately as possible. Had to pull it off and reinstall multiple times. What a GD pain that was looking back at it!
Junk yard core value for 03-06 full size GM is typically $40, for the broken non working ones. Working ones sell for around $50 to $100 at junk yards, unprogrammed with random miles and condition. If the junk yard sells reworked ones it's $150-180 with core exchange (obviously they would not excepted this one as a core). Proper parts store/dealers reman/programmed starts at $220 with core ($300 core). So that's over $500 for a non trans temp reman programmed cluster with out a core. Now with a 2500 cluster with trans temp your looking at $600+. Ever time some one says they can find them at the junk yard for $20 I say sure, tell me where I'll buy every single one of them. As of now it's never been true.
I think it's great you made a business out of repairing those clusters. Hopefully you can still do it for another 10 years. With our throw away technology, it's awesome when someone can make a few bucks and save people from having to pay hundreds for something they cannot get anyways. I restore and resell old lawn mowers and snow blowers. The newer ones are pathetic and have no quality or last very long. With the price of a New one, rebuilding just makes more sense.
I just rebuilt a gmt800 frame up and when I sent power I only got a battery light and my gear selection . Nothing else lit up or moved . I’m thinking grounds in cab ... any idea? Thanks in advance . You do great work btw
I ran more grounds on the truck last night and now I have all the power I’m supposed to . But my odometer isn’t working but the cluster did get soaked when my grange flooded . I’ll need it rebuilt leds, steppers , if I can get screen fixed . I’m going to email cprice in tn.
Very nice. You are the Cluster Whisperer 😂. How much did this cost to fix this? Compared to buying a new cluster? And do you fix all clusters or just GM?
Since his cluster would not be accepted as a core return he probably would have been looking at $500-600 purchase with no core since 2500 clusters are more expensive. My rebuild service is $130 and a new-used lens was $40.
@@jackschissler255 if you go to the parts store or dealer to buy a new cluster, your not actually getting a new one. You're getting someone else's that's been rebuilt. But for the system to work, they need your old one to rebuild for the next guy. When you purchase a $220 cluster, you also need to fork out an additional $300 for core deposit. When you bring back your old cluster in good rebuildable condition you get your $300 back. If your old cluster is a melted mess they keep your $300 core deposit. But since I could fix his cluster he only needed to pay the rebuild cost and len's cost.
@@jackschissler255 almost forgot, the 2500 cluster is more expensive because it has a transmission temperature gauge. They are more rare when compared to a 1500. The 2500 cluster can be an upgrade for 1500 owners.
Do you only do GM? My 2013 RAM 1500 gauge cluster has lighting Gremlins. When the brightness is set to it's lowest setting it occasionally flickers, sometimes just completely going out. Mostly when it's cold outside too. Never does it at the dealership so they can't fix it
Hey Jeff. I have an 04 yukon and swapped the cluster with a junkyard one.. it has the x25s and sweeps perfectly but my speedo reads wrong the error percentage varies between 9-12% so I can’t calibrate it by playing with the tire size in the ecu. Is there anything to be modified in the cluster itself or it just gets a direct signal from the ecu or maybe it’s just because of the x25s
jeffescortlx I’m the one who installed it, no broken pads or anything and it’s calibrated right, I mean when the speed is 70 I’m actually going 75 and when it’s for example is 90 im going 110 so the error isn’t consistent, maybe the chip is different between trucks?
jeffescortlx yeah that’s possible but it’s not available here in my country and when I swapped the board I was sure that it was the same clusters the only difference was the trans temp gauge
So I've gone threw 4 clusters trying to fix a non moving clicking speed needle ...and it's the only gauge in the cluster that's not electric ...I admit I was trying to change the face on them....might I need that needle tool em I braking it somehow....but I also installed one I hadent messed with atall and still I just get clicks but no movement.....any help would be amazing ...keep up the fun work
I like your work and would like to have my dash cluster fixed. The battery light stays on faintly and draws the main battery dead in my truck in just a few days. You might know what this is I do not. Please let me know.
What do you charge to fix these clusters I have an 04 silverado just did a motor and trans swap so mileage isn't right any more as well. It should read 108256 not 241
I would love for you to do a rebuild on mine...all the gauges work fine...just need cleaned..well so I believe you would probably find more wrong with it
I would have been heading to a junk yard for another one. I never would have thought anything would be salvaged. Awesome job.

@@jeffescortlx how much to just fix the cluster odometer is dim and other parts are glitchy.
I would love for you to do a rebuild on mine...all the gauges work fine...just need cleaned..well so I believe you would probably find more wrong with it
WOW!
I have one with previous work new leds and stepper motors all soder points on the back are good but the 4 gauges on the right dont work any ideas
The 4 on the right require the bus to work.
Can I send you mines? I have a 2008 avalanche and the display lights when out.
