How to Fix Non Working Odometer and Gear Selector Display - Chevy S10, Blazer, Silverado
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Here is how you fix a non working odometer and gear selector display (PRND321). It is very simple, just remove the cluster and find a bad solder on the wire going to the odometer/gear selector display. (Most likely going to be the top wire/solder that is broken as shown in the video) This applies to 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 Chevy s10, Blazer, and Silverado trucks (Sonoma, Jimmy, Sierra).

Excellent video!! Very informative!! I'm absolutely sure this will be an easy job for me to do now. Thanks for the video and Jesus loves you, John 3:16-17 (KJV)
You saved me a lot of money with your pointing out the bad connection on the circuit board. No one sells a replacement 1998 Blazer instrument cluster any longer. Being able to locate the problem with the bad solder connection and eliminating my blank odometer read out issue was incredibly helpful. Thank you very much! My instrument cluster is back working like it should!
True but there's a website that can repair them but it's pricey
@Serjio Blockus With a magnifying glass, soldering gun and solder, repairing the cracks in the joints is so easy. Removing the cluster may be the hard part for some folks without a mechanical ability.
Thank you sir! I am having the same problem on my 03 cavalier I will be giving this a shot. I just picked up a butane soldering iron for a headlight repair. Great video!
Well thought out and presented. Of all the similar videos like this, I've never heard any narrator mention changing out the bulbs while he had the instrument cluster out. Seems like new bulbs would be brighter than those 20 year old bulbs. Besides being cheap (the bulbs) it's called preventive maintenance. Now go back in there and change out those bulbs :)
2001 chevy blazer 4.3 v6 LT 4WD. For me it was the main dash box connection under the glove box behind the black access panels. Use a 7mm socket or driver to tighten the connection box. There should be like a million wires running into it.
You’re the man! Thanks for posting this. I’m working on a free car for a friend in need of some wheels and this was one hurdle that needed to be jumped. Your video plus 5 minutes of my time and she’s good to go! Thank you!!
Thanks for the video it work. Well I did it and I couldn't fine the 1 that was cracked so I soldered all of them and it worked. Thanks a million!!
Excellent video! However, four terminals away from the one you described as cracked there was another cracked. Thank you for what you do. It is extremely helpful.
Thanks for the Video, I took mine a part all the solder look good so I cleaned the plug and socket with some Electric contact spray, and it works.
Thank you.. in my case, the solder on two pins of the LCD board itself was broken.. I soldered them and now the display is working fine
Thanks. I have a 98 S10 and my odometer and gear indicator are flickering. My grandma has a Buick Century and her odometer and gear indicator don't work at all. Hopefully I can fix them both.
Thank you. Not the car I have but still very helpful.
Thank you very much My name was doing exactly what yours was and I'm going to fix it now very helpful
I'll leave the soldering stuff up to my mechanic but I do love the music 🎵
Nice video clear and informative, I have the same problem 98 Blazer 4x4 no RPM no MPH and no mileage or gear selector , tried two clusters and no luck , after replacing fuel pump all instruments worked after never working , found burned connection at blower motor and replaced the blower motor , all fuses good , mother board on most recent instrument cluster looks good and no AC , any advice other than sellling Blazer would be appreciated and thank you for your videos on S10s
The gears are still showing on my gauge cluster but the mileage is not. Is it possible that I’m having the same problem as you did in this video? I just don’t want to remove the dash if I don’t have to.
My 99 blazer doesnt light anything up on the cluster. Would this work if i tried it. Everything works but just no lights
Thanks. Looks like I could do that.
My speedometer and odometer don't work not sure what proper mileage I really have
I have the same problem .. but my GMC is 1992 with no digital reads .. any thoughts .. ?
I’m having a similar issue with my truck. Some of the pins I have are bent over the board traces. Could that be part of the problem?
I would recommend using the leaded solder just because it resists heat cycles better than the lead-free stuff.
If the shift indicator light is off can this effect the transmission from shifting in to second? These things happened at the same time.
No.
Excelente video gracias por compartir tus conocimientos
my gauge digital display only works when the cruise control fuse is out. any ideas? Temp gauge not working either. HELP!!
i'm having trouble finding a instrument cluster part, seems no one has one. does anyone know where i can order one online?
Muy bien explicado gracias👍
My 04 Ford Taurus is like this but it wont crank
Nice man. Funny cause Im about to replace my fuel gauge on my Chevy and its gonna be about the same process.
Thanks! Yeah, should be pretty similar.
how to repair mitsubishi lancer gt? mileage missing bro
Wish it was that simple for me, but all of my connections are just fine 😭 on mine it will light up if I hit the cluster or sometimes it will just randomly come on when I'm driving
I’m having that very same issue with mine. Did you ever get yours figured out?
@@bereal9984 idk I opened my cluster up and didn't find anything loose, broken or worn off do I moved the wires that are on the digitizer around and it was working so far but recently it started to dim on its own so I'm thinking it's the mini capacitors or something
What size are those bolts ?
7 mm I believe
I already replaced the cluster unit
I got a 2011 impala and I can’t see anything on my cluster

^^ I disconnected the Temperature sending unit/temp sense, so How can I test the instrumentation temp gauge in my cars dash board by itself to check if its working correctly, what do I need to do?
How much would this cost at a mechanic
Most mechanics wouldn't touch this. You would have to go to a Gague Repair Service and they usually start around $100
What's the issue if all the gauges "except rpm and speed" go down when I'm driving on the road. 2003 Trailblazer
Did you find a fix? If not, message me at scott.ohmacht@gmail.com
I bought a 01 Tahoe and same thing, idc about fixing it i just wanna see the mileage lol any way i can just get the miles?
If you buy a scan tool, it should be able to read the mileage. You can find them on Amazon
You didn't even show how you fix the crack on the circuit board. You just said wala magic it's fixed.
I know this is an old ass comment but you must be about as dumb as a bag of bricks.
How about you just watch a video on how to solder electrical components and then you'll know how he did it.......
@@HaNg_ALL_ThE_tRaItOrS_hiGh so we now have to watch 2 videos to fix it ? lol
@@MicroSoftner why the fuck are you replying to me.
Goodie....I can't wait. I just knew it was some bullshit like this . I think a pot hole finished mine off.
What did you do to correct it....???
He soldered the pin with the crack.
Good video and all but sottering is hard as shit man what the hell I gotta do that for everything man wack like I said nothing in you brother but sottering I hard as shit
What about checking the fuse?
I believe the fuse for that controls all the back lighting. So if it’s bad than all the lights would be out.
would this work for a 2007 chevy tahoe?
07 Tahoe has a much different setup. Email me at scott.ohmacht@gmail.com and I can help
My 2007 Tahoe just had same problem today.
So it’s a connected behind display not the fuse box
I’m 9aa
Super helpful buddy. About to do this on my 1998 Chevy S10. I wonder if it is possible to reset the digital mileage? Hmmm. Thank for the clear, detailed video explanation!
