Default Gauges reset in cold weather

Hey All,

I've got a 2008 Tahoe that works great except for one annoying problem, the instrument cluster resets continuously in cold weather (below 12c/54f), it only stops once it's warmed up.

Has anyone seen this before, and if so is there any easy fix, or do I have go get a whole new instrument cluster?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum,
I would try re-seating the connections to the instrument cluster first, I suspect its a poor connection and not a bad IP.

I also suspect a connection issue. Have you been able to resolve this issue?

might be worth running new ground wires too.
