I have researched this problem, I own a 2000, 1500 4x4 Silverado, My Speedometer bounces on occasion. They have had recalls for years on this, It could be the grounds, mostly on the drivers side " that's every ground", On some the 20amp radio fuse under the hood effects the cluster. GM was replacing them, but if it isn't the problem you are back at square one. Also the harness was faulty. I would check for recalls first. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: location of speed sensor on 2004 silverado automatic transmission

the speed sensor is located generally on the tailshaft housing or in other words where the driveshaft slides into transmission has a small black sensor with a couple of wires going to it. those trucks have a bad problem with the cluster going out on them though. more than likely that is going to be your problem. you have to take cluster to dealership (new one) and they have to burn the current mileage into it.

It could be the switch or your blower motor resistor.

The stepping motors in the gauges go bad. do a search on ebay for CHEVY SILVERADO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER for cheaper repair options. The dealer charges around $300.00. It will continue to worsen.

Am wondering if a 2004 GMC Envoy instrument cluster will work in my 2004 Chevy Silverado Z71.

Call your local GM dealer and have them check part numbers. I don't believe it will. If the stepper motors went out and the needles go haywire you should have the unit repaired for around 120$ most places will charge. US Speedo The Industry Leader in Everything Speedometer

Needle sticking or not reading correct speed

Speedometer cluster is defective. Many GM oproducts used stepper motors in the speedometer cluster. speedometer, gas gauge, tachometer etc what ever is a movement indicator.

Do not purchase a used one or one that is "repaired" if the stepper motors are not replaced with motors made after 2005. repaired units cost a few hundred dollars. individule stepper motors can be purchased on EBay for less than $10.00 each. The cluster must be removed from the vehicle and dismantled carefully, knowing it is electrical device and may be damaged by static electricity. good luck!!

Speedometer does not function properly. needle

A faulty vehicle speed sensor will cause this.
It's mounted on the back end of the transmission where the drive shaft slides into, near the top, it's just held in with a bolt, on the right side of the tranny, also has a wire connection.
