Stepper motor

probably gonna try it this weekend. It would be nice to find a supplier for
new stepper motor's. I am sure someone sells them, there are companies who
will replace them for you so someone makes replacements. The only problem
with a boneyard is they want $75 and up around here for a used cluster,
hate to spend that much to experiment.

David,
FYI, I just got a notice from GM letting me know of extended coverage
for this problem on my 04 Sierra Z71 (which I don't have anymore).

Marsh, your either gonna have to wait til I come to FL or forward your
shipping address. But don't wait long, I'll have to drink this 1/5 of Crown
Royal instead of gifting it to you. Think of how many people have dropped a
few hundred bucks to fix these. Remove cluster, fron and rear covers snap
on, remove pointer needles by pulling straight up, desolder 4 connectors
using copper wick or solder sucker. Use a low wattage iron. Install reverse
order. If you are uncomfortable with a solder iron pay your local tv shop a
few bucks to install. 95% of the problems I have seen with gauge clusters
have been stepper motors. Less than $10.00 to fix. If sippin CR makes you
that good I'm gonna have to switch from my Makers Mark, it's been a long and
mostly enjoyable relationship but sometimes ya got to let go.

They are driven to the stop when you turn the key on. After that the
computer just counts the steps. Just like an old pin printer.
