Tidy - Toyota Curren, 2.0 L, 1998

Well, then, as I wrote ... the tidy was redone in the winter. I want to tell you about how it was done)

I fired up the idea to solder a new one for myself. Having bought everything necessary ... I started to fight.
Necessary:
1. SMD diode tape - 50 cm of the main color (in my case white), 15 cm for arrows (I have blue)
2. Soldering iron, solder, rosin ...
3. Solvent, white spirit (optional), cotton swabs (convenient)
4. tweezers (I didn’t have a bitch ... it got stuck with pliers)
5. komputer bus (or sooooooo little wires)
6. Two wires for connecting 12 volts.
7. Hands growing from the shoulders
8. Stock of patience and time

Removed and disassembled the tidy.

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

A bunch of spare parts ... the main thing is not to lose anything ... the arrows are removed either with your fingers or with two credit cards gently slipped under them.

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

That's what remains in the hands

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

Then we take the diode tape, it is a continuous board, which can be cut by three diodes (+ resistance).
Since round and semicircular elements were required, I decided to cut three diodes into pieces, and solder them separately with each other with wires from the computer bus, here visible (tried to lay)

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

This is for basic white backlighting. We need to bring the blue one to the arrows ... there is no room for a diode tape, therefore, from a piece of blue tape (three diodes each) we solder the diodes and solder them to the wiring ... and then the wiring again to the tape pieces. Two diodes are needed for the backlight of the tachometer arrows, three for the speedometer, for temperature and one for benz. In short, we solder just such a cuttlefish.

And we solder this little ribbon to the main lighting. Important! there de blue backlight ... instead of three diodes on the tape there will be two ... instead of the third diode we put a jumper.
As a result of all body movements, we get such a garland

Which we put in the tidy (the tape on the back is sticky)

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

Then we put transparent dies and bring the diodes to the arrows.
And carefully with a soldering iron or a drill we prepare places for diodes next to the point where the arrows are attached.
From the beginning I did it like this

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998
Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

That is, I ran the wires under the illumination of the arrows along the dies from above ... it seemed that everything was awesome

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

I even assembled the tidy and went to put it on the car ... but the wires pressed on the scales and prevented the arrows from spinning normally ... I had to re-solder ... and then I got confused for the whole day almost ... because the diodes put on glue ... came off together with soldering ... I had to re-solder. Plus I melted the tracks in the wire rods ... I got stuck in shorter but did it like this

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998
Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

now nothing seemed to interfere.
The output of the wires was soldered here

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

I pulled out the bulbs from the rest of the chips and screwed them back in.

Now, about the scales themselves ... they need to be processed, that is, remove a layer of paint from them from the back ... I tried different options, settled on this ... from the beginning with sandpaper, we remove the pimpled layer with a zero point, then the main paint with a solvent, but the main thing is not to overdo it, because burn the mona plastic. , and cleaned it with white spirit ... in short, this should be what

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

We collect all this happiness

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998
and here she is ... darling))
Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

We carry it to the car, connect the tidy (without arrows), start the car. we heat until the fan operates, set the temperature arrow in the middle, go to the gas station, fill in a full tank, wait for 10-15 minutes, put the benzene arrow on full, the tachometer readings must be memorized before removing the tidy and set the arrow on the heated car Speedometer ... in WARM! and a warm car with the ignition on! We put the arrow below level 0 behind the nail by 5-7 mm, take the tip with two fingers and carefully transfer the tip to the right place by the nail, it should work. We eat and check, preferably with a GPS. I have a discrepancy of 5 km (instead of 10 before the alteration. I didn’t go further. I left it that way.) We don’t plant the arrows very tightly ... because the scales may interfere with them. We take out the tidy, assemble, connect. We are happy: es:

ZY During the soldering of the diodes, you constantly need to check whether it is on or off, after each connection, so that later they do not suffer and look for a jamb, especially those on the arrows. I took 12 volts from the computer with a yellow and black wire (do not burn the power supply nah)

Then there was the climate and air ducts, made from the beginning in the version with white buttons

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

And then changed to blue

on a typewriter

Tidy - Toyota Curren 20 L 1998

Well, that's all. He hesitated to do, because the last time he held the soldering iron in his hands at school)

I did it again for the first time. It took three weekends to tidy, one more to the climate))

beautifully! not too bright? does not distract?

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

From the beginning it seemed bright, now I'm used to it, it doesn't distract at all. Someone put regulators, but I did not bother)

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

Thanks.
No, you can't, we've already passed. in the first, the glow is not even, in the second it is dim, in the third you cannot display a separate color of the arrows with bulbs)

For this whole canoe there are 3 lamps that are distributed by light filters to both the tidy and the arrows ... for everything in general)

d
dimoncarren 05.12.20

Well done for the work done) The only thing I do not understand is it not possible to put the light bulbs as usual, but only there red, or how did you put the blue, but without this hemorrhoids?

S
SergeyVDeyS 05.12.20

How many LEDs did climate control take? It's just that I also plan to replace the standard backlight with bright LEDs and in advance, before disassembling, I would like to know how many of them are there, so as not to buy less than necessary. The machine is really EDeshka, but the climate seems to be exactly the same

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

I honestly don't remember) I laid three tapes there ... like 9 diodes each, Well, there are 15-20 small diodes on the leg. Replaced green with white.

S
SergeyVDeyS 05.12.20

and one more question. Where is the light source located in the ducts and how is it directed? I tried to set it a little deeper on the top wall and it is directed downwards, but it turns out that the LEDs themselves are visible. And how many are there in each? I have one now, but this is apparently not enough

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

There, too, a diode tape, directed upwards, sometimes the diodes themselves are slightly visible, but not critical, they do not blind, and you can see them if you only look inside closely. There is something like 9 diodes.

but about the climate there is a photo?

There is no photo about the climate ... I mean the process

Tell me please, why did you chukhal the scales yourself? And if you can tell about it in more detail ?!

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

There the paint is applied ... green ... green ... and a light filter, as it were

U
Ur4ik-Odessa 05.12.20

Clear Thank you! And then I just now also want to put diodes in the tidy, and it's not as if it is impossible to place them correctly!

more details about arrows ...

and I lit it like that ... a slightly different scheme) can anyone dare to repeat))))) there is nothing complicated in principle

Hello everyone, tell me if someone has a designation of bulbs on the tidy, which one is responsible for what, bought a car and there half of the lamps pulled out

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

There are diodes on buttons and lamps for general illumination through light pipes. I re-soldered the diodes to others, removed the lamps and light guides, laid an LED tape instead, brought the diodes separately to the twist, like on the arrows at the tidy.

h
hALmEt89 05.12.20

Tell me how I changed it in the climate, did you solder the standard lamps that are there? and soldered the diodes on them?

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

hALmEt89

Light conductors do you mean plastic plates (diffuser)?

Left only around the twist. Introduced separate diodes into it.

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

Yes

hALmEt89 05.12.20

Light conductors do you mean plastic plates (diffuser)?

Y

There is no stand

h
hALmEt89 05.12.20

And the rest of the lamps are `` native '' they are like on a stand, did you remove this stand? And put the tape?

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

Unfortunately I didn't.

Aleck1990 05.12.20

but there is no photo of how tapes with diodes and wires laid in the climate?
I can't figure out how to do this so that nothing gets in the way (((

Web-Dima 05.12.20

I'm going to stir up a similar procedure for myself. I searched both on a drive and just on the Internet, but your article with photos is the most understandable for a person who has never done this. And then I have such a dim illumination of everything in the cabin that it is almost invisible even at night. And if you drive under the lantern, you have to peer for a long time at what speed I am driving. In the daytime, everything is a little easier, the backlight is visible only in the climate, barely, barely. So I'll bother.

vetalichhh 05.12.20

thanks, we will try further)

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

You take a credit card, slip it under the arrow on one side. A second credit card with another. And you bend them in such a way that a lever is created that would move the arrow base up

v
vetalichhh 05.12.20

Is it possible in a little more detail?) And then some also write that 2 credit cards, but how is that?))

Y
YUGEN 05.12.20

Easily. Two credit cards.

Are the arrows easily removable? Now a friend of mine is working on my tidy, he says nothing at all.

Listen, I'm also thinking about reworking the highlighting on my celic. Only I want to try to do it not with a ribbon, but with ordinary LEDs on 2 legs (from the advantages I see the exact location exactly where it is necessary and not near the difference from the ribbon.) What do you think the big hemorrhoids will be in comparison with the diode strips?
