Hey guys, Just got a 1992 d250 cummins powered. Took apart the dash because when I bought it the guy told me the wait to start and fuel in water and all that stuff didnt work. So, behind it the circuit board was cracked. Whats the name of this part and where can I find out? I searched the internet for about 2 hours to no avail I have a picture of the circuit board but it wont let me load it here or atleast I didnt figure it out. Thanks guys.

 

If the circuit board is all there, just glue it back together with some JB-weld on the non-circuit side then solder some wires to bridge the broken copper circuits. I really doubt you'll find one at a dealer but you might find one at the bone yard.

Yeah, what ^ he ^ said.

 

A small piece is missing, Ill look for it if I find it Ill be in business, if not I hope I can find a junk yard with diesels in it Thanks guys.

Id hate to see what itd cost at the dealer even IF they had it. Does anyone know the name of this piece so maybe I can check ebay/other sources? I have no idea when it broke so dont know if Ill be able to find the piece that broke.

 

It's quite a task to find anything with a Cummins in a junkyard. I know of 1 within 100 miles of my location.


That circuit board is not very precise or tehnical; I think it was just a few pennies cheaper than wires. I would think you could replace it all with wire if you wanted to take a few minutes; no active components on the PCB, right?


Or glue it together. That'd probably work too. (Does JB Weld conduct electricity?)

 

There is one integrated circuit, but that is on a part that plugs onto the board so to speak, I wish i could post pictures here itd make it much easier to show. I thought about hand wiring it, but placement of and holding the light bulbs would be tricky so they actually illuminate the proper thing (water in fuel, wait to start etc). O well, Ill try my luck at finding the piece i suppose and hope hope hope hope hope that junk yards have something.

Is it still driveable like this? Will the heater grid still function? (I know when its cold Ill have to "wait to start" atleast 2 min or so) Or should I just wire the heater grid to a switch in the mean time? It isnt cold yet but who knows how long this will take to locatea part /fix the one I have.

A picture of it, that plug on part (right hand side) is what has the integrated circuit on it.
Middle plug is where the thing gets plugged into the truck, There is that piece missing then a cracked off piece that i laid in there on the bottom.
