Another victim of temperature/compass meter damage

Hi: I own a 2006 tacoma trd off road since december 26, 2009. This last saturday (april 39) the temperature/compass meter get totally off with no apparent reason. I think it can be a fuse but i read the manual, look in both fuses boxes and there is no fuse identification. I search in the web, until found this site. I will try removing the console and look if the 510 is unsolded. I will let you my luck.

 

Good luck with it

And

Welcome to TW

My temp gauge quit working so I took it apart. Looked like the solder was still there but added a blob anyway and temp gauge started working again.
