In todays video I show the in depth diagnosis and repair process for a GM vehicle with a failed instrument cluster. The subject vehicle, a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, came in with a symptom of no gauge operation and no drivers information display function. This symptom, diagnostic process and repair is similar to year models 1999-2004 Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac trucks and SUV’s including Silverado, Tahoe, Sierra, Yukon, Escalade and others. I cover many of the most common issues and repairs for this common issue effecting these instrument panels.

I got 12+ volts on b11, b12 but no readings on B9, any help? 2007 chevy Silverado classic 1500 cluster not working
How do you tighten the pins on the cluster?
One repair guy found an issue with the ground with the black and white wire at the odm hook up. I am going to try that first before having to replace a whole new cluster. Or do the reset too. But Thank you if all else fails.
This was literally the highlight of my month. I never thought to flex the damn thing and have it come to life!!! Simply amazing thank you so much!
Question got 99 gmc and cluster is inop but as soon I hook up ob2 scanner it will work until I unplug it
Can you still drive the car if you remove the cluster while it's sent.out for Repair?
On my cluster the circuit board solder joints were mostly cold. Open connections all over the board. I just resoldered them all. Everything came back to life. No problems since.
Pin number 8 is a ground for the odometer and gear selector
Had an intermittent on/off problem. Tied an additional ground to that wire and it's fixed

Does a 2009 Chevrolet Colorado have a instrument cluster self check test or no
I have same issue with mine but the weird thing is if I remove the fuse for the cluster my radio works just fine but as soon as I put fuse back in for the cluster the radio goes off and stays off. Is there something that ties the cluster with the radio? It drives me nuts…
Hii ok w did you get the mileage off the truck? I have a 2001 that needs a dash, but can’t get accurate milage to give for programming.
