    I think it is time for some more videos. I enjoy watching them and have learned a lot from them. I don't think you do other LEDS swaps for like window switches and everything else to get rid of that ugly Aqua color. As of right now I have a 07 Avalanche that I have replace cluster green back ground and with white needles. Also already replace LEDS in all window, headlight, 4x4 switch and more. I am just waiting on some more 2012 green smd LEDS to get here from mouser. To do everything else, even the factory radio. So thank you for your vids and for inspiring me to get into cluster repair.

      If you successfully pull off a SMD LED swap give your self a pat on the back. Seriously, not many people can can complete it without complications, especially without good tools like microscope and hot air or multiple soldering stations. I have done complete interior LED swaps, I just haven't had my schedule line up with the job for filming.

    • @mhjs10

      @@jeffescortlx It hasn't been that complicated yet. I actually find it to be relaxing. I use a microscope that use a hdmi output to a computer screen and use a hakko 888 and 2 $50 soldering stations like the ones you use, hakko desoldering gun and a cheap hot air station. Which they all work great. So by the end of this weekend should have mine full interior LED swap done. Then i got one other customer that wants me to do the same with his 09 but blue. Wanted to do mine first to see what I will need for smd's. Only problem I will find with his is that the climate control panel buttons have a green backing on them which I noticed with mine.

    Thanks so much for the in-depth video, I learned a lot!
    Couple of questions. Can you recommend a microscope that is less expensive but will magnify enough to make a ckt board repair? If I was going to do repairs a lot then I wouldn't mind getting the one you are using but I will probably repair a couple or three boards at first then maybe an occasional one later.
    Do you have part numbers for the LED's and where to purchase quality ones?
    And a bonus question, my tint causes my dash to be unreadable during the day. Is there some way to add some additional LED's for daytime illumination? that stay on without turning on the parking lights. Maybe something shining back on the cluster?

    Can you repair Chrysler clusters? Say from a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500? My cluster went out one day while I was driving down the road. All the gauges just froze in place while driving down the highway. I got home and with key off the cluster was still illuminated, so I had to disconnect my battery. Now I have no cluster, wipers, horn, turn signals, brake lights, dome light, and headlight switch does nothing. The headlights and taillights now automatically come on with key in RUN position. I've learned through research on these 3rd Gen Dodge trucks that all the other functions I mentioned run through the cluster circuit. I yanked the cluster and checked every pin at the cluster's connectors. All my powers and grounds are good, no fuses blown or anything. So I'm calling the cluster. Does this sound familiar to you at all? Also I took my cluster apart and inspected the circuit board, visually I saw nothing wrong. I reassembled the cluster and it's now just sitting in my garage. I did not attempt to fix the cluster. Sorry to make this lengthy, but do you only repair GM clusters? I wanna send mine in somewhere, but I don't know who to go to. Thanks in advance! =]

      Please no your giving nightmares. I also work in industrial controls and those people should know better. But nope, if a fuse pops instead of trouble shooting, they just stick in the biggest fuse they can find, and then send in boards for repair that were shooting flames.

      it's a good possibility or the vfd heater supply was a bit low so emission was lower so less bright.
