A Pulsar 150 sun-faded speedometer is one of the most common issues we repair at Gadi Garage. These older Pulsar digital meters lose clarity quickly when exposed to continuous sunlight, and eventually the display becomes so pale that nothing is visible except the backlight.
Today’s case was exactly that.
A customer visited our Chennai workshop with his Pulsar 150 meter in hand, worried that the display had gone completely blank.

Customer’s Concern: “Only the blue light is glowing… nothing else.”
The customer explained:
“Bro, the meter lights up, but I cannot see the speed, fuel, or anything. Only the blue glow is visible.”
This is a classic sign of a fully faded Pulsar 150 display.
He thought he needed a brand-new meter, but the price of new units is high.
So he asked the most important question:
“Can this be restored without replacing the entire meter?”
Yes — it could.
Initial Condition: Total Display Washout
When we examined the meter, the damage was clear:
- Entire screen fully faded
- No numbers or symbols visible
- Display turned pale white
- Backlight glowing without any information
- Meter body showing age and heat stress
Older Pulsar meters fade aggressively when parked under harsh sunlight, especially in open parking.
How Gadi Garage Restored the Pulsar 150 Sun-Faded Speedometer
Once the customer agreed to the service, we started the repair.
1. Careful Disassembly of the Meter
We opened the meter housing gently to avoid damage to the old plastic.
Inside, the display showed heavy sun exposure marks, but the motherboard was still healthy.
2. Internal Cleaning and Heat Damage Removal
Years of heat cause dust, dullness, and discoloration inside the display panel.
We cleaned and refreshed all internal layers to improve clarity and power flow.
3. Restoring Screen Visibility
This was the main task.
We worked on correcting the brightness and contrast of the faded display.
Slowly, the meter began to respond, and the information started to appear again.
4. Backlight Correction
The blue backlight was too strong due to sun fade.
We stabilized the lighting so that the display became perfectly readable, both day and night.
5. Reassembling and Sealing
Once the display clarity was restored, we sealed the meter properly and reassembled it with care to prevent future heat or moisture issues.
Final Result: A Clear, Bright, Fully Working Display
As soon as we powered it on, the customer’s reaction said everything.
“Bro… this is exactly what I needed. It looks new again.”
The Pulsar 150 meter was now:
- Clear
- Bright
- Fully readable
- Uniform and stable
- Working like a fresh OEM display
And the cost was far lower than replacing the meter with a new one.
Why Pulsar 150 Meters Fade Over Time
- Long-term sun exposure
- Heat damage from daily outdoor parking
- Ageing internal components
- Weak display layer
- Light diffusion problems
If ignored, the display eventually goes fully blank.
