Good video. I especially liked how you showed plug release mechanism. I was having trouble with it not squeezing enough.

Just used this as a guide for fixing my 2004 GMC Sierra instrument cluster today. Speedo and tach were flaking out so I just replaced those two motors.

This video is excellent. I did this, unfortunately didn’t fix my issue, but the walk through was spot on.

Great video. My speedometer of 2003 Chevy Silverado died and the mechanic wanted to change the entire unit for $800. For a grand total of 5 dollars (cost of stepper motor in ebay) I replaced the stepper motor as per the instructions given by Peetre and I am all set. Thank you

Addressing this issue with my 2006 2500HD Duramax. Tac went out on me so I’ll replace all of them since I’ll have the instrument panel out. The “Radio Shack” comments made me check out the date on this video. 2014! LOL, Radio Shack has been gone for a while now…. I’ll have to get my parts/equip from Amazon. Thanks for this production.

Nice HD video. I need this to fix my truck.

Very good video. Trying to replace the seat belt warning bulb in 2002 Impala LS and could not find a youtube on that. I needed to learn how to separate the electronic board from the housing. The needles were holding it from coming out. I tried pulling a needle out with my fingers but it would not move. The fork works real good. Thanks.

Great video, I just changed out 2 stepper’s. I had to pull down on the stepper motors while I had the solder gun on it.

Just had my oil pressure gauge fail on my 2003 Tahoe. Your video convinced me to do this repair myself, and I sure appreciate it. Step by step and clear as day instructions and walk-through! You saved me $380.00, so thank you very much and great video!
