Hi 113chikito, Probably not; I imagine the design is different. Go to our
website and send me an email from there, I may be able to find you guidance
on dropping your console. -greg

Hey Greg, thanks for your very infomative video. I received a quote from
Penske Toyota in Downey for over 700.00 dollars and with your video you
save me a lot of money. I was able to fix the overhead compass on my Tacoma
for 10 bucks and in less than 10 minutes. Thanks again!

SiliconMethodRepair says:

Harry, Yep, yours can be repaired with no issues. The burn spot is normal
oxidation (removal of oxygen from the vacuum fluorescent display). Check
out our website using the link in the description for more info -greg

SiliconMethodRepair says:

Gustavo, Sounds like a blown fuse…

Theodore Huff says:

My temperature is not displaying accurately. What do you charge to repair
the temperature compass display?

SiliconMethodRepair says:

@scubahbca Yep, the dealerships do charge quite a bit for a new gauge.
However if you send it in to us, we will repair it better than new…and a
three year warranty.

SiliconMethodRepair says:

Cesar, Excellent! Glad I could help. Check out my ‘blog’ on the website, I
just posted a modification to control the auto dimming function of the
display. -greg

Ha….just noticed your comment. 🙂 -greg

Hi thuff1150, Our website link is in the video description and our rate is
$49 including return shipping. Our work is guaranteed.

SiliconMethodRepair says:

Kayla, You can, *but*…you will most likely need the entire overhead
console; as that contains the plastic design you will need for mounting.
You may or may not have the ambient temp thermometer (sending unit) and
wiring; just take a look and see. You will have the power plug; so worst
case scenario you have a working compass and no temp. Good luck and let me
know how it goes… greg

Kayla Childs says:

Can I put a used/reman unit in my 07 Tacoma, even though there wasn’t one
before? Anotherwords, do all the Tacomas come with the wiring available to
make the compass and temp work properly? Thanks

SiliconMethodRepair says:

You’re the man, Harry! -greg

after I install temp. display. can you help??

Theodore Huff says:

I have an 2006 Tacoma and my temperature is not displaying accurately. What
do you charge to repair the temperature compass display?

Harry Arriola says:

WOW! quick response, and That was exactly what i saw (near the very end of
your FAQ list! thank you! most likely be sending you my unit soon. Save me
some money from going through the dealer.

Rob Perry says:

I busted the electrical clip holding the driver side lamp light while
installing led replacements. (it was actually busted before I even started
but just hanging on. I just finished the job). Can this be repaired? Can
you do it? Thanks!

Harry Arriola says:

I took mine apart, and apparently it actually burned the display. like when
you press too hard on a calculator screen and it is permanently black on
one side….. any suggestions other than getting a replacement?

Desmond Machado says:

How much do you charge to fix the unit???
