thanks for the threads got it fixed with the help found on here

 

EBAY has a number of places that repair for around $80 lifetime warranty.. seems a lot of these are popping.. put F81B-25519C44-A in search and it will take you to them..

 

Why pay $80.00 when it's free? Fixed mine several years ago and it's all good. Sure not $80.00 worth of work, at least not with mine.

 

I have no problem fixing my own, do you have a schematic? or where did you get the info to figure out what components? or were they black and obvious? thanks.. wayne

I fixed mine with a radio shack circuit board pen. It like a marker that writes in silver to make the lines on a circuit board. It works great if some of your resistors have fallen off by putting some on each end of the resistor and pressing it back on. It works as a glue to hold it and it's like solder for conductivity.

 

Mine is working for now.
I'm saving up for the future.
Thanks

 

Where can I send to get fixed rather than buy a new one for $500.

 

Welcome to the forum. Here's a recent thread where there are 2 links to places you can send your console board for repair. Less than $50 I believe.

If you're at all handy with a small-tipped soldering iron, they are simple to repair yourself, too.

There's always only one thing that goes wrong with them.

May have to go this route. One of my resistors is missing in action. I took all the precautions but still cannot find that one!!

 

Thank you. I think I found one on Ebay.

I can't see paying over $400 to know what direction I'm going in and if it's hot or cold and I can still read my fuel guage.

 

Just got my overhead console module reinstalled. Wow!! Quick service and it looks better than new. Scott did a great job on it!!!

 

Who is this Scott person? How do I contact him? Glad yours is working.

 

e-mail him at <scott@nftpr.com> he repairs your module, adds all current updates, and warrants it for life, all for $34.50 He is on e-bay also.
