I don't own a corvette or need to fix an HVAC control but yet I'm still watching this.
Jack Winand lol same, saving up for a c5
You can come practice on mine
This was me, and then I bought one 😂. Cheers 🍻
Dude!! Love your content. Love your energy. I own a 2001 as well and did this fix after years of waiting for someone on Corvette Forum to post it! The ONLY issue I see here is that you bridged the resistors with the globs of solder in the middle. It's apparently working, but if you ever develop an issue, it *could* be tied to this. By bridging I mean there used to be space between the connections and you've joined them now. I would recommend (not necessary, but to be on the safe side) you get a solder sucker and keep the connections separate. Thinner solder would be ideal on this, for those who have plans to do this in the future! Good luck and keep the content coming!!
Usually a fix like that should be done on the opposite side of the circuit board and the majority of the time you don’t need more solder if you are not changing any parts. Just locate the parts on the other side and touch each soldering joint with the tip of your well heated soldering gun which will reheat a cold solder joint to liquid and then re-cooling would of fixed any loose solder joint. Thank God for Electric Shop back in High School during the mid 60’s. They did away with those shop classes today. Not knocking you being it worked for you but anyone knowing electronics will tell you the same thing. Still another good video nonetheless.
These are surface mounted parts with the solder pad on top with the resistor, what the video shows is how its correctly done, these are not thru-hole components
@@djernairchecks Based on what I see on the Circuit Board soldering is required on the opposite side of the Circuity board. I don't like how it was done here. Its kind of Sloppy but happy it worked for him. Did you see he checked the solder on the opposite side to see if it was loose there also? Now its sloppy there with a over abundance of Solder on both sides. A simple touch of the soldering iron at those joints would of heated any cracked solder and made it whole again. I have done a lot of repairs on circuit boards over the years. I believe I know what I am looking at.
@@ffas23 these are not through mounted components, I’m literally looking at mine in my hands. Surface mounted only and need repaired exactly as shown
I have fixed hundreds of gm clusters and climate controls . I can assure you these are surface mount resistors . At least 90 percent of all modern electronics are the surface mounts . The board is basically screen printed with a solder paste then a robot places the components on the board at a Mach three pace . After all components are in place the board is baked . They did not use enough solder paste and the components start falling off the board . The correct solder and some flux make for a lot cleaner job .
Ok then,
I am watching your Drivehub channel because of the C5 corvette. I am looking for one like yours. The fix for the circuit board is a common repair for circuit boards and is usually done on motherboards in desktops and laptops. It is commonly called “floating the board” and is done with a slightly dampened paper towel and a clothing iron. You can place the towel on the circuit board and run the iron over it for a bit until you figured the old solder has floated a bit and you’re done. I much prefer this to buying a new board. I don’t like lay another layer of solder over the old and causing more impedance to the circuit.
But nice to see it worked...
How do you do this on such small area?
Nice job. Little bit of solder goes along way. Don't be heavy handed and it'll be all good. Should hold up better than the stock joints.
The bigger the glob, the better the job. 8-) But, it's hard to argue with success! Thanks for posting. Thumbs up and subscribed.
I did this repair about a month ago. I took an old 25 watt Radio Shack soldering iron and ground the tip to a sharp point. Then my wife held slight down pressure on each resistor by using a screw driver in the center of each resistor. Before applying the heat, I touched the solder with the iron - just enough to get some on the tip. Then I touched each joint with the iron just enough that the solder re-flowed.
Here's my mistake: I put the center console back together not knowing the fuel door release switch had come unplugged. Days later, as I was pulling up to the pump after sitting in line at Costco, I pushed the release button and .... nothing! At the time I did not know about the manual release handle. So, I got out of the gas line and went home. Pulled the console out (again) and BINGO, the wires to the fuel door were totally disconnected.
That's what she said!!
Nooooo!!! U bridged the resistors together. They're supposed to stay separate
Nice job...at least you have it fixed and running again.
OMG, I had a C5 back when they were new, and the dealer wouldn't fix this under warranty. It was one of many many things that made me hate the car. I wish I'd known the fix was so easy!
Thanks Tom Welling
You should do the leds too. I made the diagram on corvette forum my handle is vetteftw. Its a nice upgrade. Those incandescent lights go out eventually
I literally just downloaded that pic before seeing this. Thank you! Will be doing the repair myself rather than send it out. Where did you buy your LEDs from and did you use diffused or clear lenses?
I'm the guy that gets these from a junkyard after the garage diy'er solders things and I make it look good again while fixing it lol
Nice job!! And quit calling yourself an idiot!
Good Find but you should have used some soldering flux paste. Every one of the joints you touched up look like a problem waiting to happen.
2022 and still helping people! Thx
Can you explain to me why my passenger side on my C5 air conditioner is not coming on can only adjust the driver side?
How do you get the unit out of the instrument panel?
Well done since it apparently did the job, however it would be a good idea to practice soldering on whatever dead PCB 😁.
That soldering was...damn.
I was just about to order a replacement so I’m gonna give it a shot first. Thanks brother.
Thx.
Awesome vid! Wound live to see trim removal and replacement of led bulbs if necessary
Sweet I'm gonna do it..I did on my abs module so this is next thanks
Globs, that is cool. My C5 has the same issue. I am going to soldier mine from the back side and probably skip the glob part. You made this look to simple. Wish me luck. How do you find time to video all the stuff you do? I have replaced my starter and if I videoed it I would still be doing it. I did put in a new Bosch with the long bolts. Had to take half the car apart. Keep up the good work.
Very easy to understand!
Well done!!! That was one of the best repairs I made to my C5 from a functionality perspective.
Just recently fixed mine also makes it look so nice.
Thanks for this! The repair worked like a charm for my C5.
You make great, informative videos, but the music is so loud when you speed up the video I have to turn it down, then when you start talking again I can't hear you. Just my opinion. Thanks for making great videos on C5 Corvettes.
I will be fixing mine now. I have the same problem. I do like your New Music system. I am looking for one to replace the one from my c5 stock. Thanks
How do you take it out of the panel
So awesome another thing I can fix myself!!!! Thanks c5pilot
Nothing like a DIY fix!!
Nice. Mine is also mostly invisible. But I never soldered. So I am a bit scared that I will damage something 😅
Always use the lowest heat setting for your soldering gun for starters on a circuit board and don’t keep heat on it too long. You don’t want to destroy the part you are soldering.
Hi !
Did you need to remove console / trim etc...to remove module ?
I like your set-up. Looks clean. What model is your pioneer doubledin? Also can you send the ordering info of the replacement dash kit. Thanks
I just commented about this on one of your other vids! I did it on mine and it was crazy easy. The only issue I had was the front board didnt snap back in at all so I had to super glue it back in whoops.
also this is an extremely great and simple video tutorial on how to get the job done. Have you fixed the oil pressure issue yet? I did mine and it wasn't too difficult to reach in there with some fiddling around. I can send u pics of my wrench setup and stuff if u need. I struggled a bit from the youtube videos already out there on it.
Nice job...doing this tomorrow on mine and putting in the new Vettenutz double din :)
Bro, It really worked, helps a lot, thanks Bro.
Woof, those solder joints mighty rough. You need some flux, lol
Great job and some great information..
Thanks, dude! Works great! 👍
Nice job. You made it look easy.
Awsome
Well done. Great conscience, practical, effective, helpful video. Thanks. Only advice is don't grow facial hair where facial hair doesn't particularly want to grow. You'll be handsome enough with out it and won't look like you are "trying too hard". lol
Had to do it to mine too. I just fluxed the contacts and re-floated them on mine. Never added any solder.
No need to reflux. They used solder from the factory with flux in it already. Never use acid flux whatever you do on electronics. That kind of solder is what is used on say a car radiator.
@@ffas23 It was flux for electronics. I watch a bunch of electronic repair channels on TH-cam and that's the way they do it.
Steve's N Vegas I am surprised I have been involved with electronics since the mid 60’s and the most common solder used through today is rosin core solder. The Rosin Core is the flux already in the core of the solder all electronic manufacturers use and electronic repair facilities. Don’t believe me read here. www.makerspaces.com/how-to-solder/
@@ffas23 I believe you, but what I did worked for me. The stuff I used was amtech.
@@ffas23 how do you do without solder? Any article or video?
Beautiful.....👍
Congratulations. Good job :-)
Nice vid. Except you did show what's involved to get it out the dash.
jack eby He did in his Double Din Radio Install a few videos back. Look there. He is making some nice video’s on both the C5 and C6. I am a Subscriber. I spend more time on You Tube today then watching all the crap on TV when something interests me. This video did although my ‘99 C5 has The Manual HVAC Controls which I am kind of happy with. My C6 has the electronic type similar to the C5 HVAC Control in the above video.
NICE
13 minute ad, time to m0ve on.
Awesome
Not pretty, but it works! As they say... "The bigger the glob, the better the job!"
Scott Berkey Not all the time if soldered on the correct side of the circuit board those globs could of shorted out the rest of the circuit board. He is lucky that by soldering it on the wrong side he didn’t damage the electronic parts from excess heat right on them. At the joint on the opposite side you are less likely to do that but as I mention above no new solder would of been needed in reheating a cold joint that was loose. Usually you can spot a loose joint better on the soldered side.
ffas23 - It was a joke, loosen up. The soldering job he did was perfectly functional.
Scott Berkey Loosen up? Yeah sure Scott what ever makes you happy. Sometimes you need to point things out to people especially if you know better. First of all he soldered on the wrong side of the circuit board. Why didn’t you point that out instead of joking. Did you even know to tell him? Oh I forgot you are a comedian when you need to be and I need to loosen up. Others look for the right guidance here when working on their Corvette.
Bridged connections ?????????
No shit, huh? Good info , but that was the worst solder hack job ever!
Your solder joints are all cold
understatement of the year award goes to "my soldering skills are not up to par".
The shot at the end must be someone else's C5 display because your soldering was pathetic. Just because you CAN buy a soldering iron does not mean you SHOULD.
Just because your computer has a keyboard Dave, Doesn't mean you should use it to be critical of those that give their best effort.
69 lol
YOU WENT RIGHT FROM SHOWING THE UNIT IN THE CAR TO IT BEING OUT OF THE CAR?? WHAT HAPPEND TO THE UNINSTALL STEPS??
