Would like to have the soldering iron! Good job, I follow you since 7 years ago.
Those tips are JBC 210 clone tips. They are getting more popular. T12 is still best bang for buck. I would love to get something that small.
Hello, the SEQURE S20 Soldering iron in this video is compatible with JBC 115 tips. If you need to be compatible with the JBC 210 tip, the SEQURE S60 Soldering iron it does the job.
That soldering pen is something that I need and I want it please.!!!
These are my favorite types of videos when the diagnosis process is explained and how to fix the problems that you come across. Great job on my 03 Sierra cluster, and I will be sending my 05 cluster that I emailed you about tomorrow. Keep the great videos coming 👍🏻
This would be a great soldering iron for me to learn how to solder and tinker
Very nice repair 👍 That soldering iron is definitely something I could use.
I love your repair videos. You and fixed until broken have made me into a cluster fanatic, and it's turned into my primary income these days.
I would like the soldering iron because I really need to upgrade from my old 10 dollar soldering iron
If you didn't win I can heartily recommend the Pinecil and the Sequre nano 60. (I bought one when I too did not win, but the Pinecil is a $25 version of the TS100 with the power versatility of the TS80 too. Excellent soldering irons. )
Your videos are quite instructive and the dim Sierra display I repaired using the information you provided is still working. I enjoy repairing electronics as a hobby and would love to add the USB iron to my tool box.
I'd love to have that soldering iron. I'm using one from Radio Shack. 1996? Maybe? Really enjoy these repair videos.
I would love to put that little guy to use! I’m used to handling small stuff so that iron would be perfect 😅
Check PP bus G3 Hot ;-) Nice work man!
Fan spin!
I want it.. Seen a number of those soldering irons. Never used a usb soldering iron, my go to is butane for small tight jobs. Sendit my way I would love to try it.
It's also possible the vehicle was reverse polarity fed when he tried to jump it which would cause all sorts of shenanigans. Definitely interested in the Sequre Nano. Been on the lookout for a soldering micro pencil. Fortunately I'm in WI so qualify lol. If not I'll have to try to sweet talk the wife.
Great video 👍👍👍
Thanks again
Write me down for the Soldering Iron
I've been meaning to ask. I've mentioned before that I repair classic car instruments but word of mouth gets around and I occasionally get an electronic cluster to look at. All I can really do is check for dry joints or anything that might be obvious but I can't power these things up. Now, this is Australia and there are maybe a handful of people who can repair these and their turn around time is in the months, if at all.
My question is, where do you find the information on pin-outs in order to safely power these up ? I have to tell a customer that all I can do is check for mechanical failure like dry joints etc but I can't do electronic work because I refuse to take the chance to power up the cluster and damage it.
It's kind of frustrating because I'd like to help the customer but I'm limited in what I can do. The customer can't get any satisfaction from the dealership because even they don't have the technical knowledge to repair or reset odometers in a replacement cluster and giving the cluster to a repair guy can take months.
Many clusters too are coded to the vehicle which means going to a salvage yard won't help either. Anyway, sorry about the long comment.
Would love to win the soldering kit, but after seeing you use it will probably order it if I don't. Know my ability with it won't come close to yours, but I try to at least repair the grandkids toys that manage to break all on their own. Seeing the tip on that makes my iron look like a pencil with a dull end.
Interested in the iron, Still using non cartridge style and now you've embarrassed me, LOL
Awesome video,first time watching*not the last*would love the nano soldering iron!keep up the great vids
Only
Love the repair video … Wish I had your skill…I would love to have solder iron giveaway…Thank you
That iron seemed really nice. I just bought one off the link. But got the s60
Awsome work..first time to see a cluster repair. Brovo! I want the soldering station please.
I would love to have that little soldering iron. I'm in the lower 48, so I'm good to go on shipping. Thanks
Those vfds are a PITA. on a side note i could use an upgrade from my 10 dollar walmart iron lol.
Hey Jeff , I’m in Canada , I’ll pay for shipping if I win if not you could ship it to my cousin in Tacoma
Your cost to to repeat everything you just did,repair cluster and replace led lights with red and about how long will it take
Great video and yeah of course I'd like that soldering iron!
This one you thought is 3-Ohms resistor probably is a Zener protection diode that is shorted.
Came here to also say this!
Or reverse polarity protection diode
Did none of you make it to the end of the video? 30:57
@@jeffescortlx I think we all did, just commented prior to watching the end
@@jeffescortlx made it to the end but couldn't believe you stated the wrong thing so long.
I would like to have it if I'm chosen thank you very much Great video. I want it.
Another great video!!! Need to send you my cluster to repair.
Is there something going on with that left turn signal or is that just a loose connection to test equipment? Went out after you put cluster back together.
I could use the Sequre soldering iron. Great video, good to see a new post from you.
awesome I ended up ordering one for myself using your code thanks!
I would like the soldering iron. Thanks Jeff
As always thank you for your video and would like the solder mini thank you
Outstanding video thanks for sharing yes I would love to win it 😊. Artie
Another nice video. Where’s the cat? And of course a new iron would be nice.
Must be GM, 153K and it's on its second repair.
As usual excellent repair vide. Thanks
I'd like to have that Micro Soldering Tool.
I'd love to have that soldering iron. Thanks!
Awesome find and fox was wondering what temp you see your hot air to so want loose other parts and love the sodler fun
great job trouble shooting!! I could get rid of old iron if I win the nano iron.
Another great video and would love the soldering Iron.
Good video! I'd love that soldering iron.....
I want the giveaway love your videos learn alot from you
Nice tutorial. I can use the soldering iron.
I don't own a micro so I do want it if picked...
i want it. need a good solder iron really.
Nice video, that "resistor " is a transient voltage suppressor diode (TVS)
Yes thank you I had it mostly figured out by the end of the video. How come it doesn't have a stripe on it? Is it normal they don't have a stripe?
I'd love to have the Soldering iron! Very good video!
Interesting repair. I have a Pinecil and I really like it. I wouldn't mind the soldering iron. Were those regular bulbs or LEDs for the backlight? Thanks!
Incandescent style lamps equivalent to OEM.
Great videos. I love them all. You are so good at doing this stuff I can't get enough. I always won something so don't put me on the list. The wire strippers and multimeter. I would love to try doing this stuff but at 71 cannot afford to buy all the things and learn it all. What kind of solder do you use and flux and what kind of alcohol cleaning do you use? Rubbing alcohol? Still have steady hands though.....lol
I use Kester no-clean solder SN63PB37 both .4mm & .8mm. The flux is Amtech NC-559-V2-TF and the Isopropyl alcohol is 91%.
Another great video. I'd like the iron.
very educational, thank you
Another excellent video, oh ya, i want it.
I want it!
Great video Jeff.
That’s a cool looking soldering iron.
Could you help me fix my 04 Chevy Astro cluster? I have to push and maintain the pin trip reset for it to display properly, it goes dead if I let it go. 😢
It probably has fractured solder joints around the VFD display.
Interesting root cause. Always suspect when that many things are wrong at once. Also interested in the soldering iron giveaway
Send me an email at 1mr.repairman@gmail.com
Oh cool, I want it! That thing looks pretty useful, still using an old Weller that hasn't failed me yet. But it takes awhile to warm up. Though if I don't win, I plan to just go buy one myself then.
Well done, it didn't take you long to cure it's illness doctor digital :-)
I was mentally shouting at you when you ignored the two components with a burnt track between them.
One is a layered capacitor that typically goes short for no dam reason.
Usually laptops suffer from that.
I want it!! 😂Great video as always
You mention at the end something electrical could be going on. Could the BCM cause this on its own, or would it be more like a chewed up harness? I'd like an entry, I like that little needle tip! Thanks!
I would like the soldering iron.
Ive only just started getting into cluster repairs. but have my own little bench tester. but can i ask ya. how are you able to test activate the communication on the bench? i usually have to plug in a scanner or tech 2 with a dlc ive wired up.
I've built one of these th-cam.com/video/sK-0JmeoRZM/w-d-xo.html
Hey are those bulbs for the cluster, solder in bulbs or are the replaceable without soldering.
Great video thanks
With this model of cluster they are soldered in.
I've never seen your channel until this morning. I really like this type of content. That pen soldering iron is really cool, I will add it to my list. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate ya
Wish i could win it, but i live in alaska
I want the soldering iron!!
Your cost to to repeat everything you just did,repair cluster and replace led lights with red and about how long will it take
You shorted out your bus communication?
Excellent video!! I enjoyed watching. I like that soldering iron system. It's so compact and can be put away for storage easily when not in use. I would really like one of those. Will have to go look it up.
I really want the soldering station. It would be nice to do micro sobering jobs in trying to do. Please consider me for the giveaway! Thanks Jeff!! Awesome video of the express cluster!
Nice job, that’s a neat iron I’d lie to have, I’ve got some bulbs to replace in the cluster/hvac controls on my Rendezvous, and replace caps in a radio for my Chevelle.
Great video and wouldn't mind putting my name in the hat for the soldering iron. Also curious, what signal do you sent through the canbus wire to go full and/or half scale. Is it a frequency generator? And a certain frequency?
Would like soldering station
I WHAT THE NANO!!!! I COULD USE IT!!!
i would like it but let another use it.
Trying to contact you for my cluster but having trouble finding your email

Thank you for another great troubleshooting video. Please enter me in the drawing for the soldering iron. That 3 ohm resistor is very puzzling. Could it have originally been some sort of protection device and was somehow replaced by the person who previously worked on the board by the wrong part? You mentioned that it seemed to have been worked on before, unless I mis understood. If they were trying to find the original number part is would have been easy to get a mis marked part or they just took a WAG.
I want the soldering iron 😃
first time i’ve seen inside an instrument cluster. very informative. i wonder how much component similarity there is between different vehicle manufacturers. surprised to see the multiple stepper motor used - makes sense for large dial analog speedo & tachometer. the one plug interface makes for easy changeover. i hate to guess cost of unit. impressed by your fault finding/fix using visual cues, simple voltage & current tests only (no schematic).
I would like to have the solder kit
You're a freaking genius.
That's for the great videos
A line to ground usually indicates a flyback diode for handling a sudden voltage spike. The kind of spike that also takes out display chips. I've had one fail on my Peavey Tube Amp and it basically did the same thing - registered as a short to ground. This era of Chevy is full of weird electrical problems, particularly in the charging circuit. I wonder if the alternator went full throttle. Alternatively, I wonder if he jumped it off a 24v system like a tractor rig....
That's a pretty cool little iron. I bet you could get some quick field repairs done with a USB battery bank. If I get selected, I'd gladly add it to my arsenal, but if not, I'll add it to my shopping list.
Instructivo video.
The nano would look good on my bench
I do want that iron.
Last year or maybe it was the year before my neighbor had the vacuum fluorescent display go out on his Chevy and thanks to your videos I knew how to fix it and that that little thing in the corner meant the display was good and not a bad display as my mind would have told me thanks for posting we appreciate it.
Jeff, every time I watch your videos I learn something new thanks for your videos
Great video. What do you charge to check LEDs and or replace?

I want the soldering iron
I would love to have the soldering iron. I don't do "LOTS" of soldering so it would work great for me. Keep up the awesome videos.
I'm impressed with your ability to repair these clusters. And I could use a soldering pencil that you demonstrated.
Nice fix Jeff. There's one bulb that you never mention. It gets very little use and that's probably why. It also never comes on when you do a bulb check. It's the hi beam indicator. my guess is that it is powered up by the lighting or body control module but how would you power it up to check it, other than running a jumper wire? I'll put my name in for the soldering iron too, thanks.
The high beam is typically a LED, that doesn't go bad under normal conditions. it's turned on by a bus signal.
@@jeffescortlx Thanks Jeff.
That would be a badass little soldering iron to have specially in my home repair business.
I liked the soldering iron
Great Video. "I want it"
Great work as always! Been watching you for years. I would love the iron upgrade my butane iron!
Soldering iron please!
