Intermittent Fault On M35 Factory Boost Gauge

[VSPEC32]

Wondering if anyone else has experienced intermittent operation of the boost gauge that's in the three gauge cluster of an M35? There doesn't seem to be any particular occurrence that makes it work and then not work. I guess a good start could be the sender unit as the cluster itself just has a plug?

If I was to check the sender unit for the the boost signal, where do I start looking.

Cheers

Brendan

Ah crap, who feels like a noob now. Thanks PN, should have known someone else more than likely had the problem in the past.

you're not alone mine plays up too

It's pretty common. Just remember you won't have to do it once, it will be needed again. Mine is playing up again, about a year or so since I last did it.

I guess using a heatgun to 'reflow' the board may help at the same time? Similar to how you could resurrect a PS3 with a Yellow Light of Death by breaking it down and 'reflowing' the contacts on the mainboard.

ive done it once and had no problems since. Just my experience. Wouldnt matter as my hdi boost controller came with a digital boost gauge
