1997 Chevy Silverado C1500 (5.7 V8) RPM/Speedo stuck at 0.
My check gages light is on. And my RPM/Speedo are stuck at 0 and the truck won’t shift out of first gear. I don’t remember the exact codes but one was for the MAF sensor and I replaced that, one was for the 02 sensor past the catalytic converter, replaced that. And one was for the ECM. I have one on the way but any other ideas on what’s happening?
What code led you to think the ECM needs to be replaced? I wouldn’t install a new one until you’re sure it actually needs to be and there’s not an external reason (shorted wiring for example) that caused it to malfunction in the first place.
A code does not necessarily mean a component should be replaced. They’re more like clues in a scavenger hunt - they don’t tell you what the problem is they just give you a place to start looking.
Inspect the wiring harness under the driver side dash near the bracket for the parking brake pedal - some have been known to rub through the insulation and cause the issues you’re describing.
