Are the little pin that you were straightening attached to the board? Because I didn't see any attached to the stepper gauge.

[Roland Caston]

They are part of the stepper motor but soldered to the board. They get bent over during oem assembly

Yours is one the best cluster repair guides I've watched. I replaced a dead fuel gauge stepper motor but the new one acts sort of random. I don't I have bad sender but perhaps I did poor soldering job. Do you know how to recalibrate a GM fuel gauge stepper motor?

[Roland Caston]

sorry for the delay in response. I would simply (with the key off) rotate the needle a full counter clockwise turn back to E or empty or 0 (zero).

[asdy1979able]

after this is the melage of the car come back to zero?

[moktarhossam]

Can I use any welder or there is a specific one for electronics... I really don't want to damage the circuit while doing the job

[moktarhossam]

Is this the same procedure for my GMC Envoy 2005??

[Roland Caston]

I don't know what you are doing wrong either. Possibly not a good solder connection to the printed circuit? When you put the needle back on, move it counter clockwise one complete circle to "0" or zero. This video is my first attempt to do this repair. I have repaired a few others for friends since then. None of them have experienced any problems. Keep at it. You will eventually get it right.

No matter how much time you take it off will that mess up the steeper motor because I had to by some more because after I did that the first couple of times I some were moving backwards. :(

I hate to give up because I got this far to have to spend a 120 to get it rebuilt. I feel if I wasn't going it right the one that was not working wouldn't have started working I just can't figure what I doing wrong I re solder it to make sure I had the right connect not they won't go down when car is off.

I even changed the light and solder them back on, and they are working what am I doing wrong? Why is this getting so difficult? This there any way I can get this fix, or I will probably have to send it off, but I fixed the ones that wasn't working. Do you have to put the needle back in the twelve o'clock position.

[blessed777favored]

Well, I put them on solder them even changed the light now the ones that were working is not and the ones that were not work are working now. I have taken these things a lose so many times because you have to take the needle off to get to the motor. I took the solder off and re did them over, and the RPM is going in a complete circle and some or not going down when I turn the vehicle off I cannot figure what I am doing wrong why some or working and other are, I did the same thing to all of them.
