You may need to tilt the steering wheel down and move the shifter down to make room. The failure mileage was 118,700. The second cause is due to surface insulation resistance failure on the board. Last year my temperature gauge was getting stuck after I turned it off. For example, an instrument cluster with 6 analog gauges will have 6 stepper motors. Better than new, been fixed by Fred.
If you are exiting an interstate highway with a sharp turn rated at 35mph and you don't have a working speedometer it could be tragic. Keep posting and good luck. I went home and researched that there is a recall on this vehicle for the dash cluster not working properly. Take a test light and see if there is power to the blower. The transmission temperature gauge suffers from the same tendency to fail as all the other gauges and again will be caused by a failing stepper motor.
Now I'm stuck with a speeding ticket cost and the new dash cluster. This is yet another common issue with 03-06 Silverados. Would be greatly helpful and thank you for reading my post. Probably what happened is the circuit board got too hot during the old solder removal causing damage to the board. Only other option is the whole gauge is shot but that is usually very evident in that half goes and the other half works or just the reset button and info display doesn't work.
This vehicle and many with this same defect is used for towing. My problem is that my vehicle is a 2004 with now 144,000 miles on it and gm will do nothing. Ruling out the speed sensor you can be certain you need speedometer repair to fix the issue. He told me they only replace the entire cluster at the dealer. Work your way around one tab at a time, you can insert a pencil or similar item between the lens and the body to hold them apart while working your way around. Can someone elaborate how this works? You remove it by squeezing the tabs together and then pull back firmly while wiggling.
Ultimately all gauges will fail if not repaired. These thiongs go out as they are usually driven from the gears in the tranny via plastic gears in the module. We've called multiple dealerships and not one of them will cover it. Well, the same thing happened to me not too long ago. Digital Dash Solutions is the name of the place.
Ground for the courtesy lamps goes through the courtesy lamp relay. These are the years that you will need to find and that will work in that truck. If I turn on and off the vehicle, the speedometer will reset back 5 mph each time I do this until rest to 0mph at a stand still. If you can't find the problem we could take a look at it for you, I'm sure we could get it. I also wanted to let you know that if you need a reference, I would be happy to participate.
The use can reset to English but the cluster will change the language randomly or simply scroll through the options endlessly. Clean the lens before installing if needed. And the back lights to the Tachometer, Speedometer, gas, oil, battery, and Temp Gauges do not work, as well as the back light to my climate Control. It really is great being able to see how much gas I have, how fast I am going and being able to see it at night. It doesn't matter what angle the needle is pointed at this step but, to make it easy slide them on pointing roughly at the 12:00 position.
When I purchased this vehicle it had more then 70,000 miles so I get penalized for the purchase! The failure mileage was unknown. My son who just received his permit was driving with me in the passenger seat when we were pulled over by a policeman for doing 20 miles over the speed limit. The speed sensors in modern vehicles are actually very reliable and rarely go out, but it is possible. The dealer who fixed it is no longer in business. If you have your gauge cluster rebuilt it will not need to be re-programmed. It is not hard to remove-one or two small bolts and it should slide right out. Remove them and you will then be able to angle the instrument cluster out.
Either one or both screen will typically be affected. I really believed that I would be without it for a month or better. If I continued to bang on it… No it will not. While driving approximately 45-55 mph he noticed that the speedometer was no longer working and displayed zero. The fuel gauge is turned halfway down where it no longers lets you know if you are between full and empty on fuel.
You must return your core with 21 days or face a steep core charge. I too wanted to mention that the online video allowed me to remove it without any problems and the replacement was just as easy. Replacement requires de-soldering of the faulty stepper motors for removal and soldering in of the new X27. The dealer advised there was not a recall for the failure and any repairs would be at the contacts expense. Basic electrical testing needs to be performed. Repairs include our 12 month hassle free warranty on the entire unit not just parts changed. This can require replacement of the whole instrument cluster costing more than a professional repair would have in the first place.
