How to repair GM Instrument Cluster | Speedometer | Gauge | Stepper

[@stevethomas2094]

Easily the best description of this task on youtube. Very informative without "too much information" that over-complicates the job unnecessarily. Thanks!

[@DamagedF0X]

Ordered the suggested motors, installed, etc, everything worked flawlessly. Awesome walk-through down to the detail. The fork to remove and tape to keep it's calibration suggestion was 5*. (I used a knife under the fork to prevent dents by fork). Turned possibly $400+ into $30. Keep up the good work, guy!

[@doityourselfbri]

Whipsters Idle Thank You!!

[@kevinjones4528]

dealership told my customer his ecm was bad because his cluster stopped working. they wanted $1,200 to fix it. i found your video & replaced the steper motors like you did. thanks bud, you saved my customer $1,100. i told him if he didn't mind me experimenting & it works, I'll do it for $100. we are both happy.

[@sarahbohren4199]

Thank you for this video. I fixed my 2003 Chevy Tahoe with no issue. It was my first time ever using a soldering iron! Feeling pretty proud of myself!

[@doityourselfbri]

+Sarah Bohren Thank You!

[@saradayton2050]

Thank you so much for your help!! My cluster was out for almost 3 years and thanks to you instead of paying $400 it only cost my wife and our friend $30!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@doityourselfbri]

Thanks!

[@jeffpersichitte2166]

I've been dealing with no speedometer or any other gauges for that matter for YEARS! This video gave me the courage to pull the dash and fix it myself vs. paying the dealership $500. It cost me $50 and about 3 hours but now I have all my gauges working again! I also replaced all the lights while I was in there and everything works perfectly. Thank you for this video!!!!!

[@theresinsamurai4520]

This was the best video on youtube for this. You actually showed everything you need to know and the camera was steady and in focus. THANK YOU!!!

[@Precious2theLord]

IT WORKED!!! I must say.. I was scared to do it. but I pray and it worked out. I was going to be charged $300 to fix it and I paid $56 to fix it my self. Thank you so much.

[@danielfonseca4642]

Very good illustration on this tutorial .. you went from A to Z ... and helped me and I'm sure a lot of people ... Keep up the great work .... You or a god send....

[@pacrattracing]

This video has been immeasurably helpful as I did my '05 Suburban.$30 for 6 stepper motors, $25 for a desoldering iron and about 1-1/2 hours labor (could've been 1 hour, but I'm extra slow & meticulous).ALOT less than the $200+ it would cost to have a dealer do it.THANKS SO MUCH, BRIAN !! I'm a subscriber now !!

[@doityourselfbri]

+pacrattracing Thank You!

[@lektrikbass]

Well done, clear & concise instruction. The only critique I have is to caution soldering novices on damaging the pc board. I know you mentioned it but a little more on the damage that overheating can cause.

[@doityourselfbri]

lektrikbass Thank you, that is a very good point!

[@johnbragg4226]

Great job!!! I was able to perform this repair in under a half hour after watching this video. Going by the research I have done doing it myself saved me between $600 and $1200!!! You did a great job with this video and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for doing this I really appreciate it

[@doityourselfbri]

+John Bragg Thanks I'm glad it helped!

[@avp0713]

"Its a good idea to pay attention to which needle goes where, when you're taking them off." lol..., the moment you took them off I thought that to myself.. just tape them down next to their respective dials. Anyway, this is a great video... thats all there is to it.. thanks

[@marazul4791]

My needle doesn't work. They are down. the only one is in good condition is the one in the midle.

[@Negastoat]

Thank you so very much for making this video. I used a different video to assist with my taking off the dash trim and removing the instrument cluster, and then used this video to assist with replacing 4 stepper motors in a 2004 Impala. I spent 17 bucks on Amazon for the stepper motor / LED light kit, and 11 bucks on a quality solder sucker tool. A few hours later everything was put back together tight and all my gauges are working like they should. Without your help, my Impala would still be doing 110 mph while parked (broken spedometer / stepper motor). You are the best!

[@doityourselfbri]

+Nega Stoat Thanks!

[@dwyazzie]

Great video. All of my motor gauges are non functional on my 2003 Silverado, but some are stuck at various positions, fuel is stuck at the 7 o'clock position. How would I calibrate/correct the position when installing a new stepper motor? Also, do you have a link to order these stepper motors?

[@doityourselfbri]

+Darrell Yazzie You can call my cell at 385-439-7035. I can sell them to you please leave a message if I don't answer. I can give you more instructions with the purchase of the stepper motors. Thanks

[@jessesalgado509]

Darrell Yazzie I

[@jessesalgado509]

i have tge same problem

[@dcmot8903]

Amazon has them as well as the tools. You can even get a fork;)

[@tamiebasse6595]

So many videos don't tell how to get the needles back in place in the correct position. This is very clear. Thanks a lot.

[@karonhorsman7121]

My friends instruments in the Enoy cluster hasn't worked for 3 yrs so I pulled up you tube and typed in repir cluster and this mans site came up and i fallowed his video and my friend and I fixed her wifes cluster. Thank you so much

[@doityourselfbri]

Thanks!

[@TitaniummanGarage]

Great Video. Strait forward. Very easy to do after watching you. Just fixed my 2003 Suburban gauges. They all worked great. For those watching. Get the desolder gun like his with the pump. makes it very easy.

[@cristaylor5311]

Thanks a lot, I just fixed someone else's repair who obviously didn't calibrate them. Worked great.

[@nancychvarak3688]

Thank you for sharing. Ordered my stepper motors off Amazon. Got them in last week. Replaced them the same day and once again I have all my gauges working !

[@doityourselfbri]

+Nancy Chvarak That's Great!

[@ramelstevens7726]

Hey bri... i have a 2004 gmc yukon denali how do i replace the stepper motors and bulbs? By the way great video 👍

[@doityourselfbri]

Ramel Stevens The cluster is basically the same as the one in the video. You can also replace the bulbs when you have it apart. Let me know if you need the motors I have them in stock 801-292-1331

[@ramelstevens7726]

I do and i need the l.e.d bulbs..

[@doityourselfbri]

Ramel Stevens I don't have and l.e.d bulbs, however I have I standard bulbs.

[@ramelstevens7726]

Ok how do i purchase ur stepper motors? Do i replace them all?

[@doityourselfbri]

Ramel Stevens You can call the shop tomorrow 801-292-1331 8am 6pm MTN Time. I would defiantly recommend replacing all motors, while you have the cluster apart. The old motors were defective and fail all the time, however the new ones I will send you last much longer and may never fail.

[@damanifesto]

Thanks for your help. i just changed four stepper motors in my 2005 Impala guage cluster for about 30 bucks & 3 hours worth of elbow grease. Surgery was a success. A professional de-solderer is a must, the pins are small and de-soldering wick doesn't do that much good. Good video!

[@doityourselfbri]

Thanks!

[@DiamondD0642]

04 GMC EnVoy, where do U get the stepper motors from?

[@julianprince7593]

Do ‘98 and ‘99 Chevy trucks use stepper motors?

[@MarcyNorman]

Can i send you my 2004 Yukon Cluster and you fix it for me?

[@tchrisou812]

I would if you're still in need.

[@BankaiTousen]

bought a H2 03 few months ago a week later Rpm gauge started acting wanky and now the emgine temp gauge so thanks to this video i plan on repairing this myself instead of spending the 500-650 that people are requesting on ebay for a new cluster. thanks for the vid!!

[@doityourselfbri]

+Jamal Body Grafiti Your welcome, thanks!

[@jeheehee]

Yo man your awesome got my speedo running like new appreciate it

[@nathantv8257]

Your tape idea is awesome. I paid $22 on eBay for a kit with motors and soldering tool. I replaced all three motors tonight and used the tape idea. Everything went perfectly and all working. First time soldering.

[@MaikEletrica]

Thanks a lot!!!!

[@doityourselfbri]

Thanks!

[@tsniebeling]

Great tutorial. I must say be careful on the pads to anyone trying this. I attempted the fix and tore the circuit board pads off. Going to attempt to reinstall my cluster this morning. Not sure if it will work. Just be aware, anyone who is a soldering novice, the desoldering can be tricky. All else worked! And your video inspired me to try! Thanks!

[@jorndoff]

Best stepper motor change/cluster repair video I've seen. Wish I saw it before I fixed mine.

[@lostsheppard87]

Worked for my 05 Impala!...FYI all my needles were hanging down at 6 oclock.....seemed as if they were way too out of whack to even try to do this..but it still worked!..Thanks!

[@jrodriguez7210]

I own 2005 Silverado which the speedometer starts at40 instead of 0. All other gauges seem fine. This is a new purchase and I don’t know much about the truck at this time. The video helped. Thanks, J

[@andypapa17]

Thanks Bri. Replaced stepper motors on my 04 Montana. Temperature gauge stuck at max, not very safe... Saved a bundle. Continue your good work!

[@tonyjohnson1152]

Thanks for video. I was able to repair the tach and speedometer in my 04 Silverado. I replaced all 6 steppers. Saved $200.

[@terryshinew2946]

I found this to be one of the best videos I've watched. It was perfect in every way. I now know how to fix my 2004 Buick's fuel gauge problem. Thanks

[@debradayton5456]

I think this was a great video. I was able to safe 400 to 600 dollars by doing it myself and some help from a friend. thinking about starting a business repairing that to make a few buck and safe other alot. Thank you again

[@martinluther4093]

Very good! Clearly explained, with good camera technique. Now I have to buy a DEsoldering iron.

[@abstewartful]

Neither of my vehicles have the type cluster you repaired in this video but I watched anyway because I was impressed with the conduct. I do have a 1988 chevy van G20 which has now a very noisy/erratic speedometer (especially in cold weather). Thinking it was lack of cable lube I had that service done (mechanic charged me $100 to lube the cable) but still have the same snapping scrapping sound with a bouncing needle. Checked back with the mechanic doing the lube and he said the problem was the gear assembly in the gauge itself. I shiver to think what he would charge for that service. Can you give me some insight

[@carriersignal]

GM vehicles themselves are in fact "the problem". I have owned one and had to service quite a few. Many things that just should not ever be as problematic as they are. I will never own another GM product. Good video.

[@mikeharris6960]

Thanks, DIY Bri! My new stepper motors and LEDs should arrive tomorrow. Now I can get right to work when they arrive.

[@robbiestarling8984]

Mike Harris j

[@troyboy7610]

Awesome man! Thanks for making this video. I have a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer and the speedometer, oil pressure and fuel gauges are not functioning correctly or at all. I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars that I don't have to have someone fix it for me so I plan on doing it all myself. The only purchase I need is a soldering iron/pump and a T15 tool and the stepper motors!

[@tripleplayfl]

Thanks, I just fixed my 2003 Silverado, I haven't had a speedometer in years, your video was very helpful, probably couldn't a done it without it.

[@doityourselfbri]

+Triple Play Thanks! I I'm glad it helped

[@friskyt-dawg4496]

Thanks for this video. I replaced all 3 of my stepper motors in my 2004 Impala and they are working great.

[@georgeschmunk6537]

Thank you for the most helpful information. The only criticism I have is watching you do the repairs on top of your tool box with not nearly enough room.

[@calvint9356]

This is a really good training session. I do have one question. My needles are pegged out so do I set them to the pegged out place?

[@humper69er]

good god! i found what my problem is after buying a new fuel pump! it was just the stepper!!! DUDE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! i have a Pontiac Montana 04.

[@humper69er]

so if i replace the stepper, my guage is stuck way past full. how would i know if i align the gauge correctly?

[@doityourselfbri]

***** Push the motor/needle back to the point it stops, that is the place to make the mark.

[@humper69er]

Thanks!

[@lamarevans66]

great video I have a 04 escalade and the needles are all over the place so I have no idea were to mark what should I do

[@doityourselfbri]

+Chuck Evans HHC-YG Push them down to the point that they bottom out (not past). That is your starting point. Make them before you remove them.

[@555yrty]

0:56 the 8th generation Buick LeSabre’s have a different style of speedometer, of which doesn’t have both mph and km/h on it. I have found it on several GM cars starting with the vehicles in the G platform, as well.

[@limited50scla]

Thanks for all your tips. Will this fix my Fuel and Oil Pressure Dancing back and forward? Thanks

[@doityourselfbri]

+michaelrramos1387 it very well could, what is the year make and model of your vehicle?

[@limited50scla]

+Do It Yourself Bri 2000 Chevy Tahoe Limited 5.7 2wd

[@brianlinzmeier7181]

Very good video. I replaced the lights in the cluster. I marked my gages w tape. When I put it back in the gages were off completely. What would b the most accurate way of fixing that ? Thanks

[@doityourselfbri]

Yeah I have never had that happen, so I am unsure of what to do. You could try pulling the cluster out and pushing all the needles just below the starting line for each gauge? However I really am unsure.

[@ainstaink8312]

Great detailed video!!! I have a 2006 trailblazer and some of the lights in the dash are out too. It would probably make sense to change the stepper motors and replace the bulbs at the same time!

[@shanerowland3715]

Thank you i will try this, When the gauges do not work does it look like no power? I will be working on a 04 trailblazer.

[@doityourselfbri]

Normally the gauges just stick or jump around.

[@antiJDM]

Thank you for this video... I ended up swapping 6/7 gauges and left the voltage gauge alone on my 04 chevy 3500 with 100% success.. I think I had the option to order 6 or 10, and at the time I thought I only needed 6. I got new bulbs with them, and wondering... how do I swap those?

[@doityourselfbri]

+Eric Tolon you have to snap the old bulbs off the board, and put the new bulbs in the blue holders and solder them in place.

[@mikehuffman6464]

Great video! Changed all six stepper motors in my 04 Trailblazer. Your video is perfect. I am not a GM man but this is a well engineered vehicle. The only problem I have found is that some of the components are very low quality, i.e. the circuit boards in the instrument cluster, radio, climate control, etc. Stepper Motors and Light Bulbs should be on push pins rather that soldered in. Keep up the good work!

[@joycemorales1022]

well informed video but my question is : if this is such a common problem on GM 2003-2006 was is there not a recall on them ? I have both a 2004 Buick Rendezvous and a 2005 Buick LeSaber with the same problem.

[@robertcraver6742]

Very Informative, I have 03 gmc envoy. Replaced all the Stepper motors, but speedo still does not work. I put another motor on it with no luck. Is their something else I can try.

[@miklosnemeth2003]

Hi, excellent video. I have a 2006 Chevy express van V8 6.0 Having problem with oil pressure gauge. Replaced stepper motor, because it stuck the gauge is at 80, than I replaced oil pressure sensor. Started to act up after 10 months in the morning when I start engine or parked for an hour the oil pressure shows 0 and after I rev the engine up about a few times it shows the correct oil pressure. If you ever hear about this kind of problem, please let me know. Thank you very much.

[@jadelove-yw2mw]

I just want to thank you so much for this video! I almost spent over 200 bucks on a cluster! Instead spent 15 bucks on stepper motors and maybe 20 bucks on tools. Never soldered before. Thanks to your detailed, easy, step-by-step video, my gauges and bulbs are back to normal! Wish I could buy you a beer bro! Thank you again!

[@angelocarrera5681]

Thank you posting this video it's really helpful. My gas gauge is acting funny and now I think I can actually fix it myself. Keep posting helpful videos myself and many others appreciate it 👏👏

[@rickwilson6918]

Wow what a great video. I am having trouble with a parasitic draw that when I pull the cluster fuse it drops 500 ma can this be the cluster or the BCM? 2008 Escalade AWD

[@saanekefu7588]

Hi we watched your video in changing our stepper motor on our escalade and we did great your video was very helpful. All the gages come on but when i turn the engine off the gas gage doesn't go back down it goes the other direction. Can u show me or tell me what i did wrong? Thank you

[@doityourselfbri]

It may have a problem with the fuel level sender in the fuel tank... Or you might have made a bad solder connection with the new stepper motor

[@cavemanhands]

I like your video, makes it look simple enough. I tried it, all is well, but the speedo jumps to 120 while in gear and the tach is erratic and sticky. What would cause this? Poor connections? bad replacement stepper motors? 2004 GMC 2500HD.

[@doityourselfbri]

+Jim Rose Poor solider connection on those stepper motors.. If you get the board to hot you can damage the connection on the board

[@arthurhuse6043]

On my 2000 Astro van, the gearshift indicator is stuck on "D". Any idea if this is a repair to be made from opening the cluster? Thanks - your video is great!

[@doityourselfbri]

+Arthur Huse I have not seen that before...Not sure if it would be in the cluster or the module that sends the cluster the info on what gear it is in...

[@BennysChildren]

Great video... great that you explain all the steps... thank you. In my situation, ALL of the gauges are not working. Do you think there is ONE THING that would cause all 6 gauges to fail at the same time? Thanks in advance.

[@drivewaygarage1561]

Great video I have a 2005 Lesabre and the tachometer doesn't work and the temp gauge started acting up. I will fix it myself now. Thanks

[@SW-ux3oc]

Thanks for the how to. I just replaced all of my stepper motors. It was real easy

[@samburchard3328]

We have a 2005 Tahoe and all but temp and oil gauges don't work. After researching we figured it had to be stepper motors gone bad. Replaced all 6, and now nothing works. Wondered if soldering wasn't done correctly if that could be the cause of gauges not working? Really appreciate the video! We followed it step by step; just not sure where we might have gone wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@doityourselfbri]

Sam Burchard I'm really sorry you had that experience. I would recommend starting over, remove all steppers all of the solder and try again. Please be very carful you may want to have someone with allot of soldering experience do the repair.

[@blackericdenice]

Glad I watch your video. Did they have suckers like that 3 years ago? I probably would not have mess up my circuit board.

[@doityourselfbri]

***** Yes

[@denniswaugh841]

My speedometer gauge needle went haywire when the original stepper motor failed. The needle got pinned to max! This made it difficult to know where to set the new needle when I replaced the stepper motor. Any suggestions? Great video. Thanks Bri

[@doityourselfbri]

+Dennis Waugh Set it about a tenth of an inch below the first mark.

[@denniswaugh841]

Thanks Bri! I appreciate your excellent instructions. You saved me a lot of money, not having to replace my cluster. Five stars!

[@johnbragg4226]

this video helped a lot! now I'm having to replace fuel lines on my 2003 gmc yukon...I am having major issues accessing the bolt on bracket located there the transmission and engine bolt together. other than removing the intake manifold which I'd rather not do I can't find the truck to removing these let alone see them. thank you in advance for any help on this dilemma and keep up the good work

[@jerryaguilar5736]

So what was the hook tool used for? I don't have one and before I went out and bought one I wanted to see if it is necessary. Thanks.

[@doityourselfbri]

+Jerry Aguilar The hook tool is not required, however makes it easier to remove the holding clips that fasten the front of the cluster together to the back of the cluster.

[@esterpermelund5682]

Very pedagogic video! Maybe I have this problem with my Tahoe -04. Thanks a lot from Sweden!

[@RJD0314]

Thanks for this video. Concerning the part where you taped and marked where the needles were, my speedometer failed and the needle is at 140. If I do this procedure, should I go ahead and move the needle to zero myself or will it reset when I install the new motor? Again, thanks for the video. Very helpful.

[@doityourselfbri]

Yes push all needles back to the point they stop before you set the mark. (which is normally below zero) Let me know if you need any stepper motors 801-292-1331 (I have them in stock)

[@RJD0314]

Thanks

[@tonydemeo1360]

Bri... Great video! I have a 2004 GMC Sierra and yesterday my oil pressure gauge pegged when the vehicle is on. When off it only comes back about an inch (still above 80). I'm thinking its the stepper and would like to replace it but how do I index the guage since its not back near zero? Thanks for the help!!

[@doityourselfbri]

Tony DeMeo You just simply push the needle back to the point it stops.

[@tonydemeo1360]

Do It Yourself Bri Sounds good! Thanks!

[@ethanammerman3632]

Very helpful video thanks for sharing your secrets. I am a mechanic and have just recently discovered how easy you can fix clusters I fixed my odometer on my buick century the other day by soldering new resistors in. One question where do you recommend buying the stepper motors ebay?

[@jsunit5354]

Thanks for your great video. I have suspected bad stepper motors but was not sure. I've had the inst panel go dark & found a cracked trace on the circuit board where the gnd wire connects. Over time, the vibration of the cable harness transfers through the connector, and directly to the board connections. There should have been something to dampen the vibration, otherwise it's a failure point for sure. I tried your link for the stepper motor but found light bulbs instead. I'll search later. If you can, any recommendation will be appreciated. Outstanding video !!

[@laytonvires2953]

my 04 lesabre only has 32000 miles i think i might attempt this myself since i watched your video. great instruction

[@kurtsalinas8996]

Bri, you are amazing... Thank you so much for the awesome video. Fixed my 2004 Silverado right up in no time. Thanks again you rock!

[@user-be2pk9xw5r]

Well done, also make sure to clean the instrument side of the cluster lens. Hate to complete the job to then note a thumb print on the backside of the lens. Where do you source the drivers?

[@tellsthetruth894]

My 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood digital cluster stays dark without lights until one bangs on the front plastic panel. Doing so allows the cluster lights to come on for a short time, but then they go dark, until one bangs on it again. What do you recommend one to do. PS: your video repair explanation was great. Thank you Sam

[@rajeshruchandani]

Thanks a lot for nice work.. It's really a good teaching video. One suggestion, You may considering to put an ESD hand-band for protection of electronic components.

[@doityourselfbri]

That is good advice I am going to look into one of those..

[@Morrye1]

I have a 2000 Express van. Is removal and repair the same as the panel you used to demonstrate?

[@charliethacker1698]

thanks been needing to fix 2 of these for awhile will let you know how it turns out thanks

[@doityourselfbri]

+Charlie Thacker Thank You.. Sounds good..

[@blackericdenice]

I hope yall have better luck than I did. The stepper motors I got off line was no better than the ones they replace. I went to the junk yard and got a 2002 Trailblazer instrument cluster. It don't use stepper motors and it work fine but had 210,000 miles on it. My TB only had 109,000 miles but I'm not selling it so I don't care. Its been 3 years now and I'm up to 248,000 miles on the cluster and 147,000 on my truck.

[@doityourselfbri]

***** Yes if you are not lets say super handy with a soldering Iron you don't want to try this!

[@richardvalle317]

Love your video Im having problem with my 1999 Instrument cluster gas gage dont work please help

[@chrisobriant1]

Great video!! I do have a question. My temp gauge on my 2004 envoy has stopped working so I need to replace the stepper motor on it. But, the needle has fallen well below the normal range so how would I calibrate the temp gauge to the new motor since I have no starting point to go by?

[@doityourselfbri]

If you cant find the starting point before you pull the needle off... Just pull the needle off solder in the new stepper motor and install the needle pointing at 12:00, than push the needle back and forth, forcing it back and forth until the starting point of the needle is just below the lowest mark of the temp gauge about the width of the needle below the lowest mark of the temp gauge. (maybe a touch more than that) Hope that helps

[@syncrogt1]

My stepper motors are bad in my 2005 suburban. I see you marked the needle's position before removing them, what if they aren't pointing in the correct position before removal?

[@doityourselfbri]

You need to make them point in the correct position.... push them down until they stop...

[@alantomlin5792]

What if your fuel tank is full? Should it point to F before you put it back together. My gas gauge is now way over full.

[@datchulo1085]

Thank you for the tip on putting on the needle. My f150 gauge was way off I wasn't sure how to adjust it. I'll try it today and hopefully I should be good

[@nixthetitan3761]

That was great job . I have a problem with my gmc oil pressure gauge . Where do I get the steppe motor and bulbs to buy Thanks

[@doityourselfbri]

[@09dandeezy]

great How-to video. my 04 envoy speed, coolant temp is off. I had 1 question,, when u soldered in the new step motor and checked for any loose soldering points. if 1 is loose wld u desolder it, or just add more solder on top?

[@marazul4791]

Mine is from AMAZON

[@maryanndouglas3363]

I live in San Diego. All my gauges went out separately over a period of time. I think the cause is faulty stepper motors on my 2004 Chevy Tahoe. How do I find a mechanic in my area that can replace these? I watched your video (excellent) but cannot do this myself.Thanks for your excellent video.

[@doityourselfbri]

You can send it to me if you would like and I will repair it for you.. My cell is 801-668-5566 I answer Monday-Friday.

hi, very good your channel, a question knows if changing the instruments cluster of a chavy trailblazer 2004 for another one of a used car, you change the miles or keep those of the car to which I put it to, my question is why is it a instruments cluster electronic?

[@jadelove-yw2mw]

I just want to thank you so much for this video! I almost spent over 200 bucks on a cluster! Instead spent 15 bucks on stepper motors and maybe 20 bucks on tools. Never soldered before.

U vid on replacing stepper motors very informative. My gas gage worked soon as I started motor. After 5 mins it shut down and fuel light came on. After 5 mins shut off again. Keeps doing this like as soon as it got warm it shuts down. I know I’m the fuel pump it has the prongs attached to the float. I figure it can’t be the float cause it either works or it don’t correct? I just don’t want to drop gas tank if it is in fact stepper motor. Fuel pump is 179.oo. How do I test wheather it’s the reostat in float or if it’s the stepper motor in dash. Seems opening up dash would be easier and first place to start? Please give me ur opinion. I’m very familiar w electronics on vehicle’s. Thank you again your vids are good
