SOURCE: Instrument cluster not working and truck wont go

I had the same issue with my 2002 F250 7.3 L. The overdrive switch was shorting the circuit due to exposed wires in the steering colum. I replaced the switch and resolved the problem.

SOURCE: pontiac 2003 aztec cluster panel not working

GM has a problem with clusters but the government nor GM will do a recall on the clusters. Check ur local yellow pages for a Speedometer fix company , if u cant find one hit me back and I can find one for you.. In Houston we pay $250 for the service.

SOURCE: instrument panel cluster gauges and odometer has stopped working

I had all my analog instrument panel gauges stop working after they did the state emissions test. I found the proper fuse in the fuse block located under the hood. Simply unplugged the fuse, noticed it was still good, and plugged the same fuse (10A) back in and all the gauges started working again. Guess it needed a reset atfer they plugged in for the emissions.

What must i do for tail lights and dash to work on F150 2006

Hello. It seems your Ford F-150 has a defective 'parking lamp relay'. This relay controls the rear lighting and, on some vehicles, the instrument clusters lighting. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

My 2003 hummer H2 dash lights all came on and the gages quit working as well as the power windows, back up lights, and radio. I checked all the fuses and they were all good any suggestions

Your best bet have a qualified repair shop check it . Thing's on that vehicle you probably have no clue about , serial data communication network between control modules , BCM - body control module , instrument cluster , door modules etc...U codes would be network problem codes . Hooking up a factory scan tool or someother professional type an checking for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes would be my first step as dealer tech . It is a fact that GM instrument clusters had problems with stepper motors that control the gauges -2003 to 2006 . Would not think all gauges would stop work because of that .

2005 chevy uplander overheating- new thermostat, sensor, reaiator still overheating

What's the actual temp of the engine ? Are you just going by the temp gauge in the instrument cluster ? Hooking up a scan tool an viewing engine temp sensor Data . Did you take it to a qualified repair shop ? GM instrument clusters 2003 to 2006 had bad stepper motors , these control the gauge needles . Guessing an just replacing parts won't fix the problem . If you don't have a scan tool that can view engine sensor data , go to harbor freight an buy a inferred temp gun .What's the actual temp of the engine .

You people that have no clue cost yourselves more money then if you would have taken it to a qualified repair shop.

My 03 envoy won't go over 15 mph. It has no oil pressure. I mean 0 oil prs. I changed oil v.v.s. cam sensor and the one above the oil filter and it starts without the key I just got it someone gave it to...

Any code's stored ? Test the oil pressure with mechanical pressure gauge an not going by what the instrument cluster is showing is what you should do . GM vehicles had bad step motors inside the instrument clusters from 2003 - 2006 . The instrument cluster gauge is probably not working . If you don't know how this workes ,your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop that does .
Hooking up a scanner to check pressure data to the PCM/ECM would be the first step in the diagnostic proccess .

Speedometer fuse 2003 buick regal

No fuse just for the speedometer , fuse for whole instrument cluster . No reset either , hooking up a factory scan tool to check for DTC's - diagnostic trouble codes in the instrument cluster or BCM - body control module . Could be a bad stepper motor in the instrument cluster . GM vehicles from 2003 to 2006 had bad stepper motors .

My speedometer stopped working and i replaced the speed sensor still not working

What make , model an year vehicle ? your gauge is probably bad ! The vehicle speed sensor is an input to the PCM / ECM - engine computer . All vehicles after 1996 have some kind of a serial data communication network that all modules talk on ,even the instrument cluster ! The PCM sends speed info . to the instrument cluster . Google automotive serial data bus communication network . GM had problems with the stepper motor in their clusters , but so have other car makes . If you would have taken it to a ASE certified repair shop you would wasted your money on a VSS - vehicle speed senor you didn't need .

I was unable to find anything on the fuse for just the speedometer, with the other gauges in the cluster working correctly. Below are instructions on how to test your instrument cluster. This will confirm whether or not the problem is within the cluster itself or somewhere else. I hope this will get you started on your problem or hopefully solved.
