An instrument cluster from a 99-02 GM pickup brought to me for a look-see, the PRNDL and odometer were dim. After a quick look I determined that the vacuum fluorescent display had a low filament (heater) power supply problem. A little flux and solder and it is good as new again.

My Gage cluster gear selector and a odometer do not light up and oil gauge flickers back and forth I have changed the oil sending unit and it still does it what would you charge to do this.
How much do you charge to repair mine, i got the same issue
First video of all them that showed the type of flux and part number. I was always wondering what they were using. I been getting these out of scraps yard and doing minor repairs like lights, steeper motors and pdrl displays cause of here. I can bring most back to life. Now to maybe try to repair a dim message / odometer display on 03-06. Seen the resisters to solder and then how to heat and replace that square chip if need be. Only one video shorta shows that issue. Now going to try these 99-02. These 99-02 steeper motors seem to be an issue and have to installed same way. I learned record player oil can be added to them to make work again. Cool little trick and ordered if off fleabay $8
Nope. A perfect looking solder joint is not looking like a ball, it is actually concave and of course shining like silver. The ball is a sign of excessive solder material.
Thanks so much for this video. It worked for me. One was loose.
My mph gauge needle stopped working how much to fix it
Excellent information dear sir. Great repair as always. I'm also an engineering YouTuber.
I am new to electronics repair as a hobby. I recently tried the Amtech flux and was amazed at the difference in quality. Really makes a difference when soldering.
