So for those of you who fixed it yourself, where were the bad solder joints? Were they on the pins next to where the connection is? Or other places?
My instrument cluster is having 2 issues.
1) Speedometer occasionally reads wrong after driving a while. I was driving on the highway the other day doing about 60 according to speedo while towing. After a little while I was passing everyone, something seemed wrong, so i checked phone GPS, and I was doing like 75+.
2) last summer the needle on my volt meter flipped upside down and has been that way since.
Sounds like the stepper motors themselves have failed in your case. I think they mechanically fail and don't always move the distance they're supposed to when pulsed.
The bad solder joints I fixed on my Dad's were the power pins on the main connector but his whole cluster was intermittently shutting off.
