Off topic 04 Bonneville gauges - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a friend that is having trouble with his 04 Bonneville gauges. He says he needs to send the whole cluster to someone to fix and found a company called Mr. Speedometer in Missouri that will do the work. Anyone had any experience with this???

sometimes the circuit board goes haywire behind the dash cluster ,so maybe the speedo needs recalibration or repair to speedo head ,when i work at dealership for ford we used to sub work out to speedo shops to do repair if we didnt send them

sounds like a stepper motor lost it's baseline (zero setting)
many times I fix it by useing my scan tool with bidirectional commands to do a "sweep test" . usually costs the customer ~$30 and takes 10 minutes.

the little motors that run each guage needle is a common problem too. Call around to some local shops (not dealers) and see if they have a guy who fixes them. He have a cat that comes in and does them, he works stupid fast, pretty cheap, and we've never had him not do one properly.
