In this video we show more tests that we run on these DIMs before sending them back to the customers. czcams.com/video/jnEcrlL2nj8/video.html
Do you guys have a video aids in micro soldering?
im greatful..works now ..thank you..
Cool video I got 2002 Volvo thank you you Rock
Better on playback speed 1.25
2x is better
Thanks
great work.
Good video would be nice to see how you did the entire process but on my end was enough information so I can proceed but understand if to much is revealed people intend to loose some $$$$$$$. Good job thank you for sharing
Good job!
Nice done
Thanks for this video.
I have no problems with my S60 instrument cluster. Only the high beam indicator light (blue light) isn't working. Could this be just a defective bulb or is there something more going on?
Hi can you share what is the can id for the cluster lights? I am using a cluster like this one to play video game and I don't know the can id for the backlights.
This looks like it light be the problem I have with my 2003 s60. Just curious about the check engine light. It is staying on (no other lights work) because I need to replace my ambient temperature sensor.
Is that check engine light not tied into the DIM?
05 volvo xc90 v8 - can the car be driven without the DIM in the car? i have a ODB2 device that shows the speed on it and reallys that infomation to my phone? i have heard some volvos won't start if removed?
Hi!! Oil pressure light on the cluster of my 2008 XC90 d5 doesn't light up. Could be a burnt LED? Or what could it be? Thanks
the module you´re using ti test the cluster on a bench, any info on that? would save alot of time for me haha
Hi.nice video..Do you know anything about ford bantam 2003?
Hi. Could you send me to connector pin diagram? I am trying to make one for my sim, cant find the wiring diagram anywhere
Is it possible to change the place of the 2004 model volvo s60 display table and the top models with the 2013 or 2015 s60 table? Does it fit or what might be required for them. Can the problem be solved with extras such as software, program installation or extra electrical installation, thanks in advance.
Hi there!
A bit late to the party but I wanted to ask you what that circuit board you're using for testing the cluster after repair?
I've been fixing a few of these clusters but I have no easy way to test them without putting them back in the vehicle, which is an annoyance and frankly a bit time consuming!
Thanks
Can you repair the 2004 V70 R model clusters too? My DIM is intermittent
How do I power the cluster on bench
the DIM of my 04' S60R , sometimes it lose the electric power suddenly , and then resume , it comes up SRS/brake warning ,
1. is this same case that you figure out in the video?
2. can this DIM be exchanged with an used parts from another S60?
2a. if YES , it's just HW exchanged without any SW upgrade? will it keep the same mileage?
What do you charge to fix one ? I have a 02 Volvo S60 and my cluster don't work unless it's cold out or you push in the pin closest to the driver's door?
I have had these reflown and so far no luck.do you have and ideas how to find the problem?.ive got a good guy helping me but so far no fix.is a circuit board diagram available to me by chance? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hi thank you this worked great. do you have any videos or can you give advice to fix the xc90 ICM thank you.
Hello did you ever get you xc90 icm fixed
How do you change the lights for the info displays? I've thought about doing it but couldn't find a non-potentially-destructive way of doing it. I've got the R Design gauges and I think blue would look so much better.
Depends what year you have. The 02-03 models you just twist out the bulb an insert an LED. 04+ there is 3 smd leds soldered in for each display that would need to be replaced. A bit more complex because you need to remove the needles and disassemble everything.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions Do you happen to know if S60 2003 have these twist bulbs or soldered? Asking this cos R's cluster atleast looks different
My whole entire cluster is out in my v70, i have been driving like this for months and when i press on the back of the cluster where you said to resolder it will come on but then when i release pressure it goes out. Im gonna try and reopen it and look around the chip you showed. Thanks man
Be very careful working around the processor. It is fragile and can easily be shorted. Need any help, visit us on automotivecircuitsolutions.com
Automotive Circuit Solutions Can I order this part for a 2004 XC70 from you?
Yes we can repair that year and model. You can purchase the service here www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/products/02-03-volvo-instrument-cluster-speedometer-repair-service-s60-s80-v70-xc70
I've changed out my old bulbs to led today. I don't recommend using white LEDs, it ends up a blue/ green awful colour. I have put warm white leds . there are two sizes t4.7 and a smaller 4.3 or t3. I ended up taking the bulb and holder apart and fitting a 5mm led with built in resistor
How clone or use other cluster? My cluster dont work.. Any solution?
What do you use to power these up on the bench? I don't have an issue with a cluster, just like messing around with electronics.
These require a CAN signal generator to power up. You can't just give it 12v and expect it to power up like most other clusters.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions what can signal do you send? i am trying to sniff my cars network but am having issues figuring it out. This is for a personal project.
are 2008 s60.models affected by this?
Can you share where you got the T5 LED bulbs? I got some from Ebay but were way too dim
amzn.to/2Os8wGs
Ok, I went this these, and 1 year later I can confirm they last long enough, however these are pretty DIM so don't expect strong light like in the pictures www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-T5-Wedge-5SMD-Amber-Dashboard-LED-Light-Bulb-Lamp-74-17-18-37-70-2721/202002473982?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Wow I didn't realize you could put LEDs up in there. Now I know.
All lights T5?
@@BrosLer- on the DIM all lights are T5 but bulb power is either 2, 3 or 5W, depends on the position
Note! - for those wishing to do a LED light mod on the XC90 dash lights...this shown mod ONLY works for 02-06 models, 07 and up do NOT have the removable T5 bulbs, they have LEDS that are integrated into the Dash PCB and cannot be changed out for different colours/shades...so buying some T5 LEDS and ripping your dash apart WILL be a waste of your valuable time and money
...dont ask me how I know! lol (damnit!!...I really wanted that blue white LED look)
Actually only 02-03 models have the T5 style sockets on them. 04+ have SMD LEDs soldered onto the circuit board and aren't accessible without fully disassembling the DIM. On top of that the 04+ models have a thick green color filter on the overlay which will interfere with whatever color led that you install. This is why on our website we do not offer LED upgrade on 04+ models.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions Hi! any idea about how replace this green filter on the overlay...... ? Please tell that there is a way to do it 😭
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions Really hope you can help as you seem very knowledgeable about these dims, I have a 2007 one with the green LCD's but much prefer the look of the 2014 ones with white character LCD's, what differs between them? Is it just SMD LED's? I read about a green colour filter too? I was going to just buy a 2014 dim and strip it and try to move parts from one to the other and get some new SMD LED's if needed but would prefer not to have to spend that much if it's not needed and I can find the info I need. Hope you can help....
Just received my cluster back from you. Everything working good. I have an Autophix ES610 but unable to remove the SRS Airbag Service Urgent message. Should this scanner work?
Here is a video showing how we erase the message. czcams.com/video/X_cM88qx4Fw/video.html
Can the ABS bulb be removed or not
I have a recently acquired 2002 c70 that has an issue with the instrument panel being completely dim, although the guauges work properly...dimmer switch on dash does nothing...could it be the bulbs or more likely an issue with the switch itself?
Thanks for any help!!!
Hi, I’m having the same issue. Did you get a solution?
What kind of emulator do you used for the tests?
What
May I ask where you got the LEDs from? Thank you
Amazon eBay basically CHINA. LOL
big socket are T5 but what are those smaller? how about those behind left corner screen?
We use T5 incandescent and LED bulbs in both sockets without an issue. Sorry for late reply.
Hi, are you still offering this service?
How do I get in touch with you guys. I have a volvo 2003 in Quito Ecuador with failure in the custer and I would like to have it fixed.
You can purchase a service online @ automotivecircuitsolutions.com or give us a call (417) 755-0179.
Hi! What type of LED bulb, is there a special size, volts, amps, rating, etc? Thanks!
The LED is a T5.
all of them is not T5!
Is the "urgent" message about the airbags common to see with a DIM problem? My cluster panel stopped working / worked sporadically today. At one point, when it was working, I saw this same urgent message.
Yes that is one of the first internal circuits to fail. Your cluster needs to be rebuilt. Send it in if you'd like.
Hi ! How do you change the LED colors ?
simon templar there is twist in sockets on the back, pull them out take out incandescent bulb and put in leds
Is it possible for direct delivery of an instrument panel? I’m not too far
Yes you can bring it in anytime weekdays 8-5CT. Thanks for watching.
Hi , the circuit board needs to be repaired as it do not work at all . can you send me information so I can send it to you thanks . rob
I know this is a late respons to yoyr video but I try anyway. Okay. I have a volvo v70 II 2002, the problem is the clock. I can`t adjust it and sometimes it start to count on it`s self. Do you have any tips on this problem? Thank you
The symptoms you are stating are early stages of DIM failure. You'll need to get it rebuilt to fix the issues. Here is a link to the service. www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/products/02-03-volvo-instrument-cluster-speedometer-repair-service-s60-s80-v70-xc70
I have an 05' XC70 the odometer is frozen, the tac shows blank lines, and the information screen on the left is out totally. How much to have one repaired?
www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/products/02-03-volvo-instrument-cluster-speedometer-repair-service-s60-s80-v70-xc70
where can I get the replacement bulbs?
Amazon eBay basically CHINA
and the moste important part was what you left out. can you show what parts you resolder'd and what was replaced? and if any reprogram was needed how is that done?
Actually I show exactly what I resolder.
it looks liek the chips itself is replaced?
Nope, we just reflow them.
ok.
This seems to be a piece of informative marketing, not an instructional video. I'd understand why a small business might wish to keep their trade secrets and, in any case, micro-soldering sounds like a fairly exclusive skill set. I'd gladly send them my DIM if the need arises.
Where are you located?
Hi, Browsed through your website, and there are only couple Volvo models listed there. Do you also service other models. I have a Volvo 06 V50 (same as S40 I believe) that starts to show a dead dashboard occasionally. Car runs OK just very annoying and feel weird when you see your speed is zero while driving on freeway :DD Do you service this model too? Thanks.
We have not worked on any of that sort but we can attempt to repair it. Go ahead and send it in.
How can i get ur Office here in Nigeria
Hi,if i am not wrong,is there one small speaker( blue )? If yes,why ?
Yes there is a speaker on this board. It dings when a message comes up on the screen to get your attention and also possibly the door chime.
Volume !! Can't hear, and it looks like a very helpful videeo.
Hi how much to repair a cluster?
isn't a reflow a 'temporary' fix. I base my question on an assumption that reflowing is simply heating up the chip enough to remelt the solder so it flows over any 'microcracks'. After a period of time, wouldn't the solder just crack again from the heating, cooling and vibration process?
I already had my cluster done (by someone else). Prior, the display was erratic, the characters looked 'russian' at times, sometimes they were upside down. This happened around 110,000 miles. I sent it out, got it fixed and it lasted for a good while. The car now has 319,000 miles and the symptoms are starting to show again. My message area is barely readable. The odometer still works but the time display likes to cycle through rapidly. Forget about setting the time- it never stays. Anyway- I'd be interested in a little more detail on your reflow process. Thanks.
Your assumption is incorrect. We don't just heat up the existing solder. I don't like to bad mouth our competition but it seems like most of them do just that. We cannot disclose our exact procedure for obvious reasons. With this repair we are confident it will outlast the vehicle, that is why we give a lifetime warranty, so if in the unlikely event it will fail again you can just send it back to us and we'll repair it free of charge. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the reply. I'll be placing an order as soon as the weather warms as I can drive my motorcycle while I wait for the return of the DIM. The 24 hour turnaround makes it a lot easier- Kind regards
Do you have to disconnect the battery before removing the cluster?
It's not necessary. But if you turn on the ignition with the cluster out it can trigger fault codes in other modules that will say lost communication with DIM. But they won't cause any harm and can simply be cleared with a capable scan tool.
my 2006 model v70 has a totally different circuit board to this ! grey plug too, not green, have you repaired these type before?
Yes we repair the newer model also. What are the issues you are experiencing?
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions intermittent info center part occasionally works fine , bot 80% of the time its just blank or pixels, all other dash components are perfect with no issues
@@mikewatson5570 Yes those issues are typical for these. We can fix it, purchase the service and send it in.
Hello friends. I have doubts as to whether the part of my vehicle is genuine. I have a request from you. When we remove the 2004 model volvo s60 2T vehicle dashboard, you can share the part code as a picture. Or can you share with me what is written on the barcode sections. thanks thanks. 😊
What part of the country are you? I have a Volvo semi that has some instrument cluster problem.
We are in southwest Missouri. Email us semi details for a quote autocsolutions@gmail.com
Would be nice to actually see the reflow and drag soldering technigue.
Where would I take mine in Greensboro NC
Not sure of anyone repairing these in that area. You can mail it to us here www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/products/02-03-volvo-instrument-cluster-speedometer-repair-service-s60-s80-v70-xc70

Some DIM units from 2001-2003 are also interchangeable without programming. There are 4 numbers on the side, the first 3 of them must match. I have a DIM from a 2003 XC70 in my 2003 S60. Here's how to replace the LED with T5 colored czcams.com/video/IW08m6o0TpQ/video.html
Hello,
Can you tell me where are these four numbers ? Kind regards

At 5.04 it looks like the meters already is blue , why ?
It had cool white LEDs installed there. There is a blue color filter on these clusters so when you install cool white leds it turns out bluish.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions Ahh , thanks
There was no XC70 in 2002, it was the V70XC and yes they are different.
Do the v70r's have this issue?
Not as common but we have repaired them with similar issues in the passed.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions good to know. Thank you
How much u fix it ? I have one I send u

Check out this video it shows how someone destroyed a DIM by trying to repair it. czcams.com/video/Jc0GuFoJu2g/video.html
Could you just get a new one ? Just asking for a friend.
Why do people make videos about fixing something then cut out the important part but talk about things that don't matter so that is a waist of time really
We pretty much point out the exact issue. If you know how to solder it shouldn't be an issue. If you need me to show you exactly how to resolder it then you shouldn't be repairing it because you can't just learn it by watching a video, there is too many variables for a successful repair.
bs self promo video teaching nothing
Whatever. Explain the problem does not help the DIY. Show how you repaired not just the issue. You do that people who are willing or not to take the challenge Will or will not pay but at the least you give a true option and still gain business.
