2003-2007 GM Cluster Repair Tips. Calibrating Needles

In this video I show tips I use for repairing clusters. This is not a video on how to repair these clusters. There are plenty of other videos on that on KZbin already.

Some good points I sent my display out for a rebuild and I have noticed now at 70 it reads 68 mph the oil is lower then when sent out I guess I will add calibration to my to do list I have a scan tool so I can check it Thanks

Video really helped thank you

[@yaraposada7537]

Lots of great tips! Thanks for going into detail!

great vid, man! gave me the confidence to do this myself!! do you have thoughts on how GM gas gauges specifically can be calibrated as accurately as possible? (i never believed the gauge previously, as I am not the orig owner and if always seemed to show higher than the digital readout because i ran out of gas several times! ;) )

[@dcairns61]

On the temperature gauge accuracy. Do you think the "actual temp" is in Celsius vs the gauge in Fahrenheit? 100 C just happens to be 212 F .

I calibrated the needles a bit different. Instead of pushing down with my finger I took the needles off and I tab back on

[@Legendary_Frank]

I got all the needles perfectly accurate I go to drive my truck the next day they are all wrong

Not sure if anyone will see this but I just changed the stepper motors and bulbs on my 03 escalade and now NONE of my gauges work (the bulbs do thou) idk wat I did wrong. Also the gear and my odometer display no longer working any and I mean any advice or tips would be appreciated thx

I’m new to this cluster due to helping my father in law and something I’ve learned about them is they’re very fragile. A lot of solder points break . Check the solder where the harness connects and everywhere. If all else fails there’s places that’ll restore your cluster for like 70 bucks ! Good luck

Question how hot should the solder gun be

[@victorgutierrez5826]

to repair cluster tech who repair cluster said 400,but not higher than 430. Fahrenheit degrees the point is when the solder is melted.
