[@Peppermint1]

Ok, I went this these, and 1 year later I can confirm they last long enough, however these are pretty DIM so don't expect strong light like in the pictures www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-T5-Wedge-5SMD-Amber-Dashboard-LED-Light-Bulb-Lamp-74-17-18-37-70-2721/202002473982?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

[@cosmicallyderived]

Wow I didn't realize you could put LEDs up in there. Now I know.

[@BrosLer-]

All lights T5?

[@Peppermint1]

@@BrosLer- on the DIM all lights are T5 but bulb power is either 2, 3 or 5W, depends on the position

[@grapsorz]

and the moste important part was what you left out. can you show what parts you resolder'd and what was replaced? and if any reprogram was needed how is that done?

[@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions]

Actually I show exactly what I resolder.

[@grapsorz]

it looks liek the chips itself is replaced?

[@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions]

Nope, we just reflow them.

[@grapsorz]

ok.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

This seems to be a piece of informative marketing, not an instructional video. I'd understand why a small business might wish to keep their trade secrets and, in any case, micro-soldering sounds like a fairly exclusive skill set. I'd gladly send them my DIM if the need arises.

[@willytheekid]

Note! - for those wishing to do a LED light mod on the XC90 dash lights...this shown mod ONLY works for 02-06 models, 07 and up do NOT have the removable T5 bulbs, they have LEDS that are integrated into the Dash PCB and cannot be changed out for different colours/shades...so buying some T5 LEDS and ripping your dash apart WILL be a waste of your valuable time and money ...dont ask me how I know! lol (damnit!!...I really wanted that blue white LED look)

[@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions]

Actually only 02-03 models have the T5 style sockets on them. 04+ have SMD LEDs soldered onto the circuit board and aren't accessible without fully disassembling the DIM. On top of that the 04+ models have a thick green color filter on the overlay which will interfere with whatever color led that you install. This is why on our website we do not offer LED upgrade on 04+ models.

[@tarikkinali1583]

@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions Hi! any idea about how replace this green filter on the overlay...... ? Please tell that there is a way to do it 😭

[@liamstears2231]

​@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions Really hope you can help as you seem very knowledgeable about these dims, I have a 2007 one with the green LCD's but much prefer the look of the 2014 ones with white character LCD's, what differs between them? Is it just SMD LED's? I read about a green colour filter too? I was going to just buy a 2014 dim and strip it and try to move parts from one to the other and get some new SMD LED's if needed but would prefer not to have to spend that much if it's not needed and I can find the info I need. Hope you can help....

[@tommarshburn6419]

Just received my cluster back from you. Everything working good. I have an Autophix ES610 but unable to remove the SRS Airbag Service Urgent message. Should this scanner work?

[@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions]

Here is a video showing how we erase the message. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpDGfmtupt1nfNk

[@TheBypasser]

Do you have to disconnect the battery before removing the cluster?

[@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions]

It's not necessary. But if you turn on the ignition with the cluster out it can trigger fault codes in other modules that will say lost communication with DIM. But they won't cause any harm and can simply be cleared with a capable scan tool.

[@lowpulse8729]

Is it possible for direct delivery of an instrument panel? I’m not too far

Yes you can bring it in anytime weekdays 8-5CT. Thanks for watching.

Hi, are you still offering this service?

[@DusttwoDust]

Hi there! A bit late to the party but I wanted to ask you what that circuit board you're using for testing the cluster after repair? I've been fixing a few of these clusters but I have no easy way to test them without putting them back in the vehicle, which is an annoyance and frankly a bit time consuming! Thanks

[@charnas2790]

Good video would be nice to see how you did the entire process but on my end was enough information so I can proceed but understand if to much is revealed people intend to loose some $$$$$$$. Good job thank you for sharing

This looks like it light be the problem I have with my 2003 s60. Just curious about the check engine light. It is staying on (no other lights work) because I need to replace my ambient temperature sensor. Is that check engine light not tied into the DIM?

[@Makethings987]

Hi can you share what is the can id for the cluster lights? I am using a cluster like this one to play video game and I don't know the can id for the backlights.

[@scottmapes1018]

What do you charge to fix one ? I have a 02 Volvo S60 and my cluster don't work unless it's cold out or you push in the pin closest to the driver's door?

[@MiguelSilvaFX]

great work.

[@Chrissurf]

I have had these reflown and so far no luck.do you have and ideas how to find the problem?.ive got a good guy helping me but so far no fix.is a circuit board diagram available to me by chance? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@lynskyrd]

isn't a reflow a 'temporary' fix. I base my question on an assumption that reflowing is simply heating up the chip enough to remelt the solder so it flows over any 'microcracks'. After a period of time, wouldn't the solder just crack again from the heating, cooling and vibration process? I already had my cluster done (by someone else). Prior, the display was erratic, the characters looked 'russian' at times, sometimes they were upside down. This happened around 110,000 miles. I sent it out, got it fixed and it lasted for a good while. The car now has 319,000 miles and the symptoms are starting to show again. My message area is barely readable. The odometer still works but the time display likes to cycle through rapidly. Forget about setting the time- it never stays. Anyway- I'd be interested in a little more detail on your reflow process. Thanks.

[@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions]

Your assumption is incorrect. We don't just heat up the existing solder. I don't like to bad mouth our competition but it seems like most of them do just that. We cannot disclose our exact procedure for obvious reasons. With this repair we are confident it will outlast the vehicle, that is why we give a lifetime warranty, so if in the unlikely event it will fail again you can just send it back to us and we'll repair it free of charge. Thanks for watching!

[@lynskyrd]

Thanks for the reply. I'll be placing an order as soon as the weather warms as I can drive my motorcycle while I wait for the return of the DIM. The 24 hour turnaround makes it a lot easier- Kind regards

Is the "urgent" message about the airbags common to see with a DIM problem? My cluster panel stopped working / worked sporadically today. At one point, when it was working, I saw this same urgent message.

[@crownvicca]

What do you use to power these up on the bench? I don't have an issue with a cluster, just like messing around with electronics.

These require a CAN signal generator to power up. You can't just give it 12v and expect it to power up like most other clusters.

How do you change the lights for the info displays? I've thought about doing it but couldn't find a non-potentially-destructive way of doing it. I've got the R Design gauges and I think blue would look so much better.

[@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions]

Depends what year you have. The 02-03 models you just twist out the bulb an insert an LED. 04+ there is 3 smd leds soldered in for each display that would need to be replaced. A bit more complex because you need to remove the needles and disassemble everything.

We pretty much point out the exact issue. If you know how to solder it shouldn't be an issue. If you need me to show you exactly how to resolder it then you shouldn't be repairing it because you can't just learn it by watching a video, there is too many variables for a successful repair.
