I used to repair clusters for a long time not anymore, and I learned the hard way when I was young that if you find one issue with the soldering joints, best is to reflow the entire board and all gauges boards (Where applicable), from a business point if you fix just the issue, you save time and money, and in case another issue comes up, you get another business opportunity, however from a personal level i wanted to provide the best experience to my customers as I always considered my service premium, so I wanted to make sure that the cluster was fixed for the end of the car's life, so I was also fixing all joints in all gauges and replacing all electrolytic capacitors, that made the difference :), that made me to get tons of recommendations that double the times of a potential come back from the same customer or car. In case you fix clusters too that will be my recommendation.

Where is your the crack ring located at? I most likely need to re solder my speedometer also.

Never put electronics in plastic bags, they create static charges that then destroy electronic components. Buy yourself a few anti-static bags from fleaBay, in assorted sizes, they are eternal. Also, especially older diesels, you can ether lock them if you use starter fluid on them. Sorry to be a nag, but yeah.

Thanks for this. I've just done my S14a 200sx this afternoon here in the UK and glad to say it worked! It was my second attempt as first time I was nervous of hitting the 22 pins bit I think this was where the issue was. Some steady soldering and hey presto! Thanks buddy!!

Very common problem on the s13. Most people will buy another cluster and trash their failed one.

Hi all! I have the same problem with my 1990 s13. Do you guys know what material exactly does the mechanic use for resurfacing the joints? Thank you in advance!
@space_cowboy0075 ай бұрын
you probably found out already : the big syringe is flux, and he sometimes adds basic solder to the joints he judges too small or too ugly, then he cleans the board with isopropyl alcohol.

Did this and replaced the speed sensor with a known good one. Everything worked perfectly and suddenly the speedo is now flat out dead. Yeah I think im going to give up on fixing this. Haha

I have the same problem. I noticed your temp gauge is also not moving. Same thing with mine.
@StewartMotoring4 жыл бұрын
Yea.. I got a new temp sensor and it isn’t calibrated like the oem. So my temp only goes up 1-2 tic marks. But it is at least showing on the gauge and so I know if it’s midway - I got a problem.
@brandman5464 жыл бұрын
Stewart Motoring Mine’s totally dead. Sensor tested okay so I’m gonna check it’s soldering points as well when I check the Speedo. Video is a big help. Had this problem for years lol.
