Silverado instrumental cluster problems
Typically, these malfunctions are caused by, a broken gear in the speedometer system, a speed sensor issue or a faulty engine control unit (ECU). A malfunctioning speedometer may also be due to damaged wiring.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I really need to resurrect my old truck. I have an 01 Sierra 1500 with the 5.3. My cluster never had an intermittent issue, it just suddenly failed. I have searched all over the net and this is the closest I've found to the same fault I'm having.
My dad has a 2000 Silverado 1500 with an aftermarket radio that didn't have AM. I switched his radio with my stock unit. When I put his radio into my truck, I saw a spark from behind the radio and the cluster immediately lost the PRNDL/ODO display, the Message Center, Tach, and Speedo. Nothing else in the truck seems to have issue, but I haven't been driving it.
I have pulled, checked, and cleaned every fuse in the truck. I've checked all grounds. I've looked over all large power wires and connections. I have swapped in a known good cluster. Nothing has any effect on the fault.
I know it's my fault for leaving the battery hooked up and also trusting the wiring harness the previous owner put together, but Damnit truck Gods! Why punish me so harshly?
