instrument cluster problem
#11
I have an 01 Silverado 5.3l with about 60k on it. Came across a problem the other day with my instrument cluster. When I start the vehicle, the lights that display my gear selection dont light up and my battery light comes on in the display. I also noticed that my engine temp sensor isnt reading. Everything else works fine with the dash and lights on my truck. When i put the key in and turn it once, the gear selection lights up and everything seems fine its only when i turn it again and start. I checked the fuses and none seem to be blown. Any idea as to what this may be?[/align][/align]

I have a 2004 Silverado and my "voltage" gauge always is pegged to the far right whenever the truck is running. Every now and then my tachometer acts up slightly, but all the other dials, instruments and lights seem to be just fine.
If it doesn't get any worse, I'll live with it. If it does get worse, I suppose that I will have to get it fixed. If it is a 'recall' or safety issue, will GM still fix such a thing on a truck that is ten years old?

I have the battery light stay on in the message board, odometer not working, gas gauge not working, temp. gauge not working, heater/ac blower not working. Replaced the ignition switch, new battery, new altenator, replaced cluster, replaced pcm. Checked and cleaned all grounds. Nothing solved the problem. It turned out to be the mega fuse under the hood for the ignition B.

Good post! I have a 2003 2500hd I bought a couple weeks ago and have the gear selector that comes and goes whenever it wants.
