Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Oil pressure gauge repair

 

Ok, I was able to solder the circuit board, attached to the oil pressure gauge, and get my dash lights back on. The circuit pen didn't work, so I bought a flux pen to rub over the trace, and then just soldered it, coated it, and put it all back together. If the trace repair didn't work I was going to solder in a bypass wire to make it work.

If anyone else takes apart their gauges, be careful in there.

***Nate, I replaced my dash speakers the other day, and I too had trouble getting the grill to close right, so I cutaway a little of the vinyl and foam around the hole, to let the speakers drop in, and it closed properly.

Next is the Tranny rebuild, then a few oil leaks: one at the turbo exit tube, and also at the oil filter canister.

Nate,

Behind the gauge face there's a copper actuator the expands to move the gauge pointer. Mine was leaking, so I took it all apart, and replaced it.

I found in taking the gauge apart, one of the traces on the circuit board broke, so the now the dash lights aren't working right. I bought a circuit repair pen which hopefully fixes this, otherwise, I'll need to get an appropriate soldering iron and fox it, or find another board from a gauge.

I'm not clear on what you actually did to repair the gauge....

I bought new dash speakers from The Classic Center (thanx Tom !), they went right in but I cannot get the front leading edge of the grille's tab to hook in so it's popped up a tiny bit....GRrrrrrrrrrr.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY ! .

Thanx for celebrating Mom's birthday =8-) .
