Very nice explanation. ¿What should i do with mine? It only stops showing good after a driving time.

[@MinitoolsChannel]

Hi, thanks for the nice feedback! May we ask you to send an e-mail at [e-mail] detailly explaining the issue and attaching some pics of the cluster? Our technical team will have a look into it! Thank you.

[@joelgudmundsson8668]

Good video, is it possible to fix this any other way? Maybe vcds to give it higher voltage?

[@MinitoolsChannel]

Hi, thank you! We recommend to install our display only by following the instructions shown in the video.

Hi, I changed my km counter without display to one with a display, but it doesn't indicate the temperature. Can you tell me which PIN the external temperature sensor should be connected to? So I'll wire it up, thanks

[@MinitoolsChannel]

Hi, we're afraid we can't help you as we deal with instrument clusters repairs, we don't do upgrades.

Ive got a half screen, would it be the same connections?

[@MinitoolsChannel]

Hi, could you please let us know the producer of the cluster sending us an e-mail at [e-mail]? The connections may change based on the producer (e.g. VDO, Jaeger, Bosch, MotoMeter etc.)

@@MinitoolsChannel where can I see the make of the cluster on the cluster?

[@MinitoolsChannel]

Hi @@fwdsmatter1117, the only way to check it would be to remove the cluster from the car; the make is usually either printed on a label or marked on the rear cover of the cluster.

How can flux damage the board irreversibly??

[@MinitoolsChannel]

Hi, the fluxing liquid should be used with caution. If applied in excess in areas with narrow spaces where it is difficult to remove it, a residual excess of flux could cause short circuits between the conductor tracks and damage them.

[@adicristi05]

@@MinitoolsChannel can flux make short circuits?? but flux does not drive electricity

[@carmelocarrozza75]
