I just smack the top of it and it usually starts working again lol
I had the same issue it was the fuel gauge that was inverted, I fixed mine over a year ago it was really simple, I got a thin piece of foam that was 3/4 to 1 inches thick, I cut it in the shape of the speedometer, I took apart the speedometer which doesn’t have ant screws once you have it off the car just pop the open put the foam behind the speedometer circuit and close it up. I realized when I press the speedometer it starts working so something must be loose after 14 years of driving. The foam just keeps pressure on the circuit board so it has good contact with LCD screen. Bada bing bada boom there you have it.
Literally spend 8 bucks just for the tool to push the pins and solder. Be careful with them and take your time.
OMG, the soldering in this video made me cry! Glad to see how easy it will be to fix, but my god please throw away your soldering tools
You don’t have to fix it cause it shows how much gas you used instead of how much you have they are made that way cause a lot with that dash have went bad
BULLI KID, this video, combined with your dash disassembly video, is amazingly helpful. I just spent a couple hours doing my wife's 2008 Civic and you made the process so easy. The fuel gauge and the digital speedometer were messed up. Many of the pins were loose and only required reheating to reset the solder, but some seemed to not have enough solder, so using a very small soldering iron I was able to re-solder them. I can't imagine how much this would have cost as a dealer repair/replacement, but you sir have saved the day!
This is a great video. I have had this exact problem in my 07 Civic for probably 6 years. I remember googling it like crazy when it first happened and couldn’t find anyone with this issue so it’s awesome to see others with the exact same issue. I just push on the gauge and it will come back. Sometimes if I hit a bump it will come back lol. I probably won’t fix it because that’s a lot of work and I can still tell my fuel level with it being inverted, but it’s awesome to know exactly what the issue is (and isn’t!) and to know how to fix it if I decide to. Thanks!
You need a lot of flux for it to take the solder
Having this problem, I have whitnessed success by continuously pressing the minitor until it sets correctly. Periodically turn it on and off when you achive it correct. As it will memotize and hone a longer and more correct reading let the car sit for several minutes (even with gas).
Thanks for this video. The important part is you showing the actual pins that needed re-soldering. I just did this procedure, and my fuel gauge reverted back to normal. How long it will remain normal is to be seen. I used a needle tip soldering iron, and it was still a bit nerve wracking, given how close together the pins are. No way I'd have the manual dexterity to use my normal soldering iron. If there were bad connections, they were hard to see, even with a loupe (magnifier). I ended up re-soldering every pin. I strongly suggest that you post on your original video so people who track that video realize you fixed your problem. Doesn't seem like this one has as much chatter on it. Thanks again.
This video is really helpful because it shows the process of trial and error that eventually leads to success. Great job!
Thanks for the awesome video. We bought my son a 2008 Civic and it had this problem. We followed your video and it worked just as you described. He is very happy as it was his first attempted car repair! Thanks again!
Awesome video Kid....
Champion effort! You just saved me money! Also fixed the speedo that had two dead pixels with this method. Cheers bro!
Perfect video was waiting for this video..to solve my inverted fuel gauge fault
You earned that repair! I have this exact issue on my 8th gen. Good video.
Great video! I was occasionally getting the inverted fuel gauge, as well as a segment on the speedometer that would flicker. I cleared away the conformal coating that was on the board, which revealed cracks in the soldering for the pins. Make sure you are using a soldering iron with a very fine point.
thank you! my temp gauge was inverted from time to time, used to think my car was overheating
Thank you. This is what my Honda had. Thought it would be difficult but it wasn’t.
This is the problem I’ve got and thanks to you I’m going to fix it.
