GM Pickup SUVs Instrument Gauge Cluster Repair & Troubleshooting
Tech note: Any repair we do does not affect your mileage, keys or programming.
1995 - 1999 Square body Chevy 1500/2500/3500 Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Sierra
Speedometer Clusters have problems with the fuel gauge failing, called the hummingbird effect because the needle vibrates. Usually, the fuel sending unit or slosh module is going bad or faulty ground, which wears out the fuel gauge. Also, the 95-99 Chevy's see the speedometer needle hanging reading slow and odometer stops working. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, we do carry replacement parts you can purchase.
2000 - 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500/2500 Sierra 1500/2500, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon
Have issues with speedometer cluster display not lighting up also individual gauge failure and backlighting issues.
If you’re having a fuel gauge indication issue its much more common to be a sending unit issue (even if you just replaced it) than a gauge.
We have a bench test with the capability to test your cluster and eliminate cluster unknowns.
2003 - 2006 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Sierra, Avalanche Speedometer Cluster
Individual gauge, (stepper motors) and gauge backlighting will fail on 03-06 models. Gauge cluster will completely power off at times on many 03-05 models. When 03-05 models power off completely, the backlighting, check engine light, and turn signals will continue to operate. If your lens is broken, we have replacement lenses. It is also common for the PRND321 gear indicator to dim or go out, and typically happens just before the powering or draw issues occur. Please let us know if you are experiencing battery drain. If you think your battery drain is coming from the cluster, please unplug cluster to check draw rather than just pull IPC fuse.
Your mileage is held on an EPROM chip and does not change after repair.
If your odometer reads "ERROR”, we can repair that as well but there is additional charge. Also, if your mileage indicator is dim, we can replace the gas filled vacuum display. We are also able to program a used replacement, but we recommend rebuilding your existing unit.
