I had a 2007 equinox with a gauge problems
I bought an used one and it was only 10 more Kilometers over than mine
I replaced it my self and I don't see why need reprogrammed
Every thing is working good
All the gauges and messages and lights are responding properly
The only thing is that the cluster I got was from an AWD and my car was front wheel drive only
So it's displaying a light an message to service all wheel drive
But I can just ignore it and keep driving but if some one knows how to turn this light and message off I will appreciate it
Thanks
Any way for the other guys with a cluster problem you can just buy a used one near your millage and swap it out

 

I solved mine with some gorrilla glue one of the welds for my bumber was sloppy and was leaking. filled it from inside the truck with the glue, let it do it's expanding thing and I've had a dry trunk every since. I filled the whole seam just to be sure, pain in the back to be bent over like that with a spice injector as a glue gun but it worked.

 

First of all, You probably have it fixed by now, but, I thought I'd thought I'd answer this question for others. First thing is, does, or did your Equinox have a sunroof? If it does, due to either really poor judgment or design, there is a plastic tube notorious for pulling out of a rubber connector at that particular drain. What you have to do is remove the drivers side visor and lock clip (remove the passenger side visor lock clip to prevent bending of the headliner) and the front center dome/map light/Sunroof switch cover. Also remove the plastic driver's side window pillar cover. Carefully pull down the headliner on the driver's side and, you shall find your problem. The solution actually is rather simple, and, got this as a tip from the dealer: Remove the rubber connector from the sunroof assembly drain outlet. Use a bit of super glue put it onto the plastic drain pipe in where the sleeve of the rubber connector covers, and then, slide the connector onto the drain pipe over the super glue. Allow to dry. Reattach the now glued drain pipe and connector assembly back to the sunroof assembly drain outlet. and push it up into place as far as you can. DO NOT PUT SUPER GLUE ON THE SUNROOF DRAIN OUTLET. If you sunroof track ever has to be replaced, it will need to detach from the drain pipe. Reassemble pillar cover, visors, and dome light, verify that the calibration is correct with the all the way up in the screw holes, and, with the sunroof closed, run a water hose on top of it to verify that there are no more leaks.
