Step by Step 06-10 Dodge Chrysler Instrument Cluster P0462 DIY Fix for Free!

[@mcshreknuggets2055]

You're a true blue fucking legend, bro. I got a 2007 RT in great condition but with 190k miles, a dead alternator, and a check engine for 2.5k (fixed alternator immediately). Using your video, I was able to put my rework station to use and all I had to buy was a 15-dollar pry tool kit from Autozone. The inspection was due this month, and it seemed I was going to have to pay a pretty penny to get this fixed. The check engine light is gone and you've saved me over 1000 in expenses considering most mechanics would replace the fuel pump, then replace the entire instrument cluster. As a broke college student, I cannot thank you enough. Doing god's work bro good shit 💯👍

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

That's what I like to hear! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@joshmarra6199]

Cannot believe this actually worked.. you are a life saver man

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Awesome! So it worked for you too?

[@joshmarra6199]

Update, coupe days ago DTC p0462 came Back. Removed cluster hit it with the butane torch this time, works great again

[@mauriciohernandez6552]

I not only had to resolder the green board for the specific fuel gauge but had to just solder over the entire top left and it worked checked voltage reading on scanner and it fluctuated depending how much I stepped on the gas, prior to this it would stay stuck at .25 volts This video helped out thank you so much!!! 👌👌

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Awesome!

[@DerekKroeker]

Hello, I have tried this about half a dozen times on my car but can never get it to work. But I have never tried the butane soldering. I might need to try that. Thanks for the video, looking forward to more!

[@frenchfry9574]

Ever work?

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

I had luck and a few people here in the comments did also.

[@juanarevalo686]

Great video! Thank you for your hard work and attention to detail.

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Thank you!

[@Treyco]

Replaced fuel pump and sending unit didn’t work, cluster getting repaired right now, hopefully this fixes it

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

I hope it works out, let us know.

[@brentmonette7695]

Appreciate someone else willing to get into automotive PCB repair.. but im not sure why you wouldnt be testing the connection with a multimeter before and after soldering.

[@TheRumblebee2306]

Hello, great video !. I am getting P0463 on my '09 Dodge Challenger SRT8, the complete fuel pump has been replaced by a brand new one but P0463 still there. Do you think this job will fix it ?? Thank you

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

@@TheRumblebee2306 I would say that it is highly likely that this is your issue. I ultimately had to get a different cluster. I bought a used one and had to reprogram the mileage on the new one to match the old one.

[@small-townboxing1362]

Any idea what would stop all gauges and turn signals from working on a 07 police charger

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

I would start with checking fuses. I don't know off hand what would cause your issue though.

[@AutoAffairsLLC]

You know if this works for P0463 and P2068 bothe codes saying voltage high for both sensors. And also do you know what pin the ground is

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

I do not know which pin ground is. I think you might be on to something with the grounds.

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

I don't know if this works for your issue

[@The-Tactical-Plumber]

So did the soldier on the individual pin fix yours or heating the entire board I have the same issue it’s been intermittently of and on for years finally I broke down changed the fuel pump and sending unit and it didn’t go away needed a pump anyway I’m at 200k but the damn light won’t go away

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

I don't know that's why I tried both ways.

[@williedaman]

Where can you buy new cluster and re program?

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

I was able to get a used one from a salvage yard and then program the mileage with my scan tool. Here is a link to a repair service that can fix your original cluster, therefore there is no need for programming. www.ebay.com/itm/305061578414?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=smxUW-lnQnK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=FVeLxnzVRmy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY let me know if you have any more questions

[@Humberto300zx]

Did it fix the issue?

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Yes

[@Kooldaddyo]

So no word if it worked or not after all that?

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

It worked for a while. There was definitely an issue with a connection on the circuit board but I bought an instrument cluster from a junkyard. If you go that route, the mileage will not be correct and you will want to have it programmed. Luckily I have a scanner that will do that.

[@matthewpetersen4417]

pulling my cluster today to do this, the p0462 has been beating me until I found this. All wires ring out good all the way to the cluster. So this has to be the root problem.

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

I hope it goes well. I hope this fixes your problem, let me know if it works out.

[@matthewpetersen4417]

@@DCAutoEnhancement I took it out, pulled the needles flipped it and torched it, what I found was at that c20 or whatever solder connection the one below that had zero solder and a few over too, so I put new solder down, installed and gages still work correct, not light yet but I only did like 2 miles, so I gotta see after she sets the monitors. But Good thing is gages still work right, I dont think they are placement specific as per they are controlled by a pod.

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

@@matthewpetersen4417 it's a good sign that you were able to visibly see the lack of solder. Good job!

[@matthewpetersen4417]

@@DCAutoEnhancement So that did it, I now know how much gas I have, no light, green go for emmisions. I thank you much for your video!!!!!! Big time

[@matthewpetersen4417]

I only have to take it out and readjust my rpm and coolant needles but other than that were good, gotta place them at zero on the cluster.

[@RT_AL8X]

fix it for me

[@Reggied103079]

Did it work?

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

@@Reggied103079 yes, for a while. I ended up buying a cluster from the junkyard and reprogrammed it using a scan tool from tool. It is model number D7

[@Reggied103079]

@DCAutoEnhancement this is what I'm leaning on doing. How tough was it to reprogram it? Do you have a video reprogramming the cluster?

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

@@Reggied103079 it was pretty straightforward. I contacted XTOOL before I bought the scan tool to make sure it could program the cluster. They confirmed it would but asked me not to make a video because you have to alter the mileage on the new cluster to match the mileage on the car. It's pretty easy though without instruction. The scan tool will walk you through it.

[@Reggied103079]

@DCAutoEnhancement you got a link for that scan tool? I already see a cluster on ebay is gonna run about 120

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

@@Reggied103079 absolutely! amzn.to/4fgFh65 I was able to buy a cluster locally at a pull it yourself type junkyard considerably cheaper. I don't recall exact price right now.

[@alpha2595]

Thanks

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Did this fix your check engine light too?

[@ibwicked69cc]

A bad gas gauge stepper motor would also cost the same issue

[@RobinRoy14]

Hey i did this thing,after reinstalling the cluster.All the gauge is arrows are going to the buttom.I took it would and positioned the gauge at the right spot.Same thing.When i start it all going to the buttom.Please help.

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

One thing you can try is take the needles off, plug it in, turn the key on, turn I to off, and then put the needles back on in their "home position and see if that works

[@RobinRoy14]

@@DCAutoEnhancement Yeah i did that.It works for the first time.When i taken out the key and get into the after some time,then again all the arrows are going way down the bottom

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

@@RobinRoy14 that's the only suggestion I could come up with.

[@jerrell7314]

Trying this tn wish me luck 😅

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Good luck, it's not a guaranteed fix but it might save you from having to buy a new cluster. That being said, if you do have to get a cluster from a junkyard, it will have the mileage from the other car on it.

[@rayshonwilliams3969]

Dannngggg. U didn’t explain what happened after yu install the panel back in, I was actually paying attention and was going to try it out. Now I have to find a mechanic that’s knows what to do. I’m trying to save money 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

Sorry to leave you hanging. I ultimately ended up getting an instrument cluster from the junk yard because I couldn't get this one to keep working. It did work for a bit after doing this repair. I think I just didn't get the solder joint(s) good enough. It did work though for a short time. If you do replace yours, a mechanic will have to adjust the mileage on the new cluster to match your ecu.

[@rayshonwilliams3969]

@@DCAutoEnhancement ok thanks for responding,,, thst was my next thing to do. Go to the junk yard 😎

[@DCAutoEnhancement]

@@rayshonwilliams3969 no problem, wish I could have been more helpful and I wish I had done better on the video.
