Erratic temp guage
Hey guys, I know this subject has been covered on other threads, However I cannot find any clear instructions on how to determine if the electronic panel behind the dash cluster should be replaced or not. R2225.00 for a new one so I want to be 100% sure its causing the problem. anyone know how to definitively test it?

Hi,

Mine did the same thing, Sac in Centurion put a new unit in for me and if I remember correctly it was about R500.

Maybe give them a call and find out.

Thanks,
Was that R500 for the parts or just for the labour or both?
Re: Erratic temp guage
It was just for the part, couldn't tell you how much the labour was because it was done with a few other things also.

good luck

Hi Henk,
I called them, They dont have a clue what Im talking about, any chance you can provide the invoice number so I can get them on the same page?
Re: Erratic temp guage
There is a very nice video on youtube that explains this process and a DIY repair. Cant access it right now but do search for "temp gauge cluster repair mitsubishi montero pajero" and you should get it.

Hello from Stockholm, Sweden !
Probably no need to replase the curcuitboard , just resolder the R10 resistor on the bord.
I had the same problem.Removed the curcuitboard and took it to a Place where they repair cellphones, because the R10 resistor is very small.He resoldered it, i put it togheter and problem fixed!
:D
There is lots of information on the Australian pajero forum.

That is a Good video, i used it ...but im 99% sure that you just have to resolder R10 resistor.the Money is nothing compared to a New circuitboard.....pull it out, go to someone who knows how to solder tiny things.it sägs R10 on the resistor, cant miss it....did mine at the cost of a few beers...
