Comparing these steppers to the factory ones does not make sense. I replaced all but one of the steppers, even though all were still serviceable. The factory units had some ruined stops, and some of the cogging from step to step was not smooth and linear as it is on By turning the mover by hand, you can feel it turning.
These seem But there's one word I'd like to say. There were not enough bulbs to replace the backlighting, but the biggest problem was that there was a defective bulb. These bulbs are not very expensive, but you should be able to power this board up outside the car. Compared to the others, the bulb I replaced seemed to be half bright. I have never experienced such extreme heat before. Due to the odd shape of this bulb, it had a pretty high chance of melting plastic. It seems the filament had an internal short, which would cause the amp draw to be higher and the light output to be lower, but if one simply replaced the parts before testing, plastic longevity may be seriously compromised. If I ever need it again, I would buy it again. In the end, I'd like the OE look at night and it requires less fiddling at the end of the day if I upgrade to LEDs.
For $149, I was able to refurbish the instrument panel for a lot less than the dealer wanted for replacing it. As a result, I watched a few videos on how to replace the gauge motors, and I was able to complete this task by myself. My own soldering iron works fine, but I had to purchase a desoldering pump (which made the job a lot In a little more than an hour, I was able to take apart my dash, remove the instrument panel and replace all six of my gauge motors (much less time than I anticipated). Since the installation, we have been on two long trips and the system has worked flawlessly. The product was so fantastic that we have never had a product that gave us such satisfaction and at a fraction of the price of While it is helpful to have some soldering experience or to watch some videos to help you learn how to do this, most people should have no problem completing the.
I highly recommend the videos they provide, and consider buying any tools you need ( a desoldering iron and low wattage soldering iron) if you do decide to go this route. The lamps on three of my gauges were burnt out and the gauges on four of them were You should buy the kit which includes all the step motors and bulbs for complete replacement The gauge may be out even if only one is. The oil gauge was the first to go in my case, and the others followed in the same In our experience, removing the cluster bezel from the dash is the most challenging aspect of this process. If everything needs to be replaced subsequently, you might as well do it. I was quoted over $500 to get the car towed by the local dealership, and they wanted it For a cost of $75, tools included, I completed it in three hours one afternoon.
The kit provides enough servos to replace all gauges in one go. checked the speedometer, which would read low or not at all in cold weather, and would be pinned at 200 mph in other weather conditions. My Sub was not included in the extended recall since I purchased it. The use of. There appear to have been bum servos in all instrument clusters used by GM from 2003 to There are a lot of video and photo instructions on A small soldering pen, a Solder-on bottle, and a Solder-Jet are all needed in addition to this kit. To get the repairs done, you will need sucker, rosin core (electronic) solder, and a couple of screwdrivers** Take a picture of the needles before taking out the cluster. did not do this and, as I was prying it apart, all the needle positions got out of line before I had time to use the tape and pencil mark procedure to save them.
The kit was exactly what I needed to repair all my gauges. As I am not a great solderer and am unaccustomed to desoldering, I bought the kit, removed the electronic panels from the truck, took them to professionals who installed all the stepper motors and then put the panels back into the truck and they have been working fine since.
The process is more difficult than its depicted on TV. I ended up sending it to the doctor. I think I saw the speedometer four It didn't seem to matter how many times I retrieved the cluster, something else would It is a good thing that the speedometer works. Cruise does not work right now, however. It is not recommended that you use Dr Speedometer. There are no people with whom you can speak. Email is the only method of correspondence. It is not a route I would take.
My suburban 2005 had three motors that needed to be replaced. According to the description, the product arrived in good condition. There appeared to be no problems with the quality of anything. Having replaced three motors on my 2005 suburban, including the oil pressure, tachometer and speedo. So far, it seems to be working well. Although I thought this was a straightforward process. I have had minimal soldering experience and was able to accomplish this without too much difficulty. My only recommendation is not to buy the cheap "solder suckers" you find on Amazon. Despite buying the blue $5 one, it was of no use to me. In order to get the tip of the sucker close to the solder puddle, you must squeeze it in a very tight space. As I pulled each side of the motor, the solder iron heated up the solder and I applied tension at the same time, pulling the motor from each side one at a time. By the time I had completed my third one I had literally just 1-2 minutes. Two minutes is all it takes to shut down the motor. You should also straighten the pins on the back of the head before removing. So far, I have not changed any bulbs, so I may do it next time. I wish you the best of.
Thus, my decision to spend $600 rested with me. I can either pay Chevy for a new cluster or attempt the repair myself for only $100. This was a task I felt I could handle. As far as removing the dash is concerned, it was fairly straightforward. The process of moving forward and eliminating the cluster went very smoothly. Breaking the cluster shell apart was a little tricky, but with just a bit of grit I was able to do it. Although he had difficulty desoldering the connection at first, he found that if he heated the pins up and pulled on the stepper motor, they came away fairly This was a difficult issue for me, but I managed to solve it. The product is fantastic!.
