I've been having issues with my 2000 Silverado cluster.
When I turn the truck off, take the key out, open and shut the door, once the dome light goes out, the high beam indicator and cruise control indicator both light up on the cluster and stay lit. It drains the battery. Also the D on the gear select is dimly lit, just barely able to make it out when it's dark.
Even if I take the key out and leave the door open, the lights will still come on. Everything on the cluster works fine and normal. I've sent the cluster out for refurbishment, still does it. I don't know if it's the cluster or something else shorting out waking the cluster up. I've replaced the multifunction switch with factory new, still does it.
Next I will put a refurbished BCM in. Maybe it's bad?? Idk.
Do you know what circumstance would cause these lights to come on and drain the battery? Radio off, security light off, just what I stated above.
I'm lost with this one, I have to remove and install the radio fuse everytime I park and drive the truck.

I changed my back lights to LED. And now my fuel gauge is stuck on E with low fuel warning on. Gear selection highlighter not working.
But the passenger seatbelt, abs, Battery indicator, security light won’t go away.
I undid the harness made sure I didn’t bend any of the prongs. But no change.

Maybe I damaged the harness?
Post owner was smoker All the wires are nice yellow tan

Who is fluffy? says:

Ive got an 03 Yukon, the cluster acts the same as this does with a bad ground, would that also be an instance of a bad ground or an internal problem with the cluster?

+1 request for an 03-06 ultimate troubleshooting guide! Just watched you probe the water damaged cluster a few vids back. would be great to know all the test points and expected voltages for novices like myself!

Isaac Woolf says:

I have a 2000 Chevy silverado 1500 and the gas guage, trans temp, gear selector, mileage and the message center has a battery light on and they don’t work but everything else does how would I fix all of that

Jacob Greene says:

Any idea what would cause the speedo, tach, and fuel gauge to no longer work all at the same time?

Ricky says:

Would it work if I put an 02 Escalade cluster on a 03 Yukon please let me know or what I can do thanks

Mike Owen says:

Thanks for the guide…..ground wire was what had mine down.

Aaron Gelvin says:

Hi there how much does it cost to have a cluster checked and air motors service and just replace anything that needs it??

Preston Treadway says:

What voltage is a9 supposed to be?

Mike Hill says:

Hey do you have a email or a telephone number I have a cluster that I would like you to repair. Would like to find out a price and availability. Thank you

Hey Jeff, where is the odometer info stored? In the VFD display board or the microprocessor board? Thanks for all you do!

Jay God says:

I have an 04 gm cluster that the blacklisting is out until I push on the top of the cluster everything else works fine I just can see how fast I'm driving at night I'm no stranger to soldering any ideas??
