Overhead Compass/Temp Fix

Thanks for your clear step by step instructions. It costed me $7.53 (tax included) for the soldering iron and about 10 minutes work. It is fixed for now.

why so much for the comp temp i get them for bout 120.00 from toyota mine lost the 510 part looked high and low so had to order one

 

big thx to the op for the quick fix...and to my local computer shop for the fast, free soldering job. hope it hold out. at least i only broke one tab

 

just did this to my unit last night, works just fine... thnks

 

did it to my friends double cab sport. at first it would fade on and off for a few seconds on and a few off, that happened for about a minute, then it just stopped. and the next day it worked fine so i guess it was just hot or something.

saved him a bunch when he goes to return the truck after the lease is up

 

77F heading N - all looks and sounds about right!

Most difficult part of this fix is:
The size of the 510's and my weak*ss eyes.
The size of the 510's and the fact they move around when heated up. I used a dental pick to hold them in place until they cooled off.

Thanks to the OP for another easy fix!

 

this fix could not have gone smoother! save my cousin 900 bucks apparently and now i can fix mine if it ever goes

 

WORKS, many thanks

 

thanks for the write up, very Very helpful

 

Thanks, my display went out on my 2006 a few weeks ago. I will definetly be fixing this tonight after work. Just hope I have a torx that small.

 

Took me about 15 minutes to do the job, only because I had to wait for my soldering iron to heat up. Works like a charm now. I now have $900 to spend on something else.

 

this maybe a dumb question but were did the $900.00 dollars come from list at toyota is about $185.00 ?

 

I think its like playing telephone.

When i fixed mine the number on TW was 700...

 

Ok that makes sence. Still good advise for the fix wish mine had all the parts to fix it a lost a chip had to buy new .

 

Awesome! This happened to mine not too long ago.

 

Great thread! mine was completely off floating around in the plastic housing. Kind of a PIA soldering that little bastard back in, but hey it works!!!!

 

I'm guessing that many people found this forum, like myself, because of this thread. Thanks again to SS for posting it.

 

You can use a pliers on he torx they are in plastic so they turn out fairly easy...thats what I did

 

thanks man, i just fixed mine.

 

I didnt read this entire thread but I am wondering if mine needs this same fix done or something else.

I constantly use my temp console and just noticed yesterday that it had turned off. So I press the button and it turns back on, but it only stays on for exactly 10 seconds every time and then shuts off

Is this the same issue you all are having?
