Stepper Motors

Post by Gagger14 »

Hey guys, just a couple of quick questions for you. My cluster is starting to go out on me and I'm pretty sure its the stepper motors so I would like to replace the current ones with the upgraded motors. Not my questions are where would you recommend that I pick some new ones up? Also, would they be pretty easy to install myself? I would be fairly new to soldering...

Thanks for the help!

Update: I had my dash sent out for repair to a guy in Winona, MN. Did the whole dash for $150 and included a lifetime warranty. Got the dash re-installed and works perfectly. I recommend if soldering isn't your thing, I would just find someone else to do the fix, the GXP instrument cluster isn't easy or cheap to replace...
