All gauges NOT working/moving. Backlighting works fine. I was able to fix this issue. How? Watch this vid to find out. HINT: Check your fuses first! They are kind of confusing to find on this truck but I'll show you where to look plus you'll see some other details that I learned along the way that may be useful if your fuses are good but you are still having issues. I took the long road to an easy solution but maybe you can learn from my mistakes!!!

Nice! That's awesome glad you got it fixed!

If I get to heaven (jury is out) before you, and I think at my age I will, there will be a cold beer waiting for you with my huge thank you for this. I get to save big by not needing to take it to the shop and as an added bonus I get to tell my wife I fixed it. You will eventually get the credit though. Thanks again.

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

Ha! The best comment I've ever had. I'll take you up on that. Coors Light is fine for me! Glad I can help. DIY vids on youtube have saved me thousands$ over the years so I really enjoy putting stuff on here that might be useful for others. Oh - and please do take the credit from your wife! I do the same...

Thank you for your research and information. Lol, I have spent 3hrs working on my suburban before I found your video. Thanks again and be blessed.

@terryjones341 5 месяцев назад

My 2003 Chevy Silverado 3500 8.1 L gasoline truck thanks you. I was having the same problem now I know where to look. Thanks for your hard work and effort.

@paulhaines5755 5 месяцев назад

You bet. Hope you find the problem easily!

@paulcastruita9700 Год назад

Thank you for the video, I would have never figured it out, my control panel cluster just stopped working randomly, checked the fuse and it wasn’t blown, but when I removed it and put back in, it worked…. Must have been loose.. Thank again!!

@altonbarcarse4158 Год назад

Thank you for your comment. My fuse also wasn’t blown and I saw this and turned my truck on again and everything worked

@bennyolson-cq9ks 9 месяцев назад

Same thing for me. Pulled the fuse put it back in then it worked. Thanks much

@paulhaines5755 5 месяцев назад

Nicely done. Thanks for the comments! Paul

@finn6684 3 дня назад

Me too same thing

You just saved me headache. Preciate it!

@johnmcdaneld4214 Год назад

Thanks man, you just saved my day. Thanks for sharing!

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

Glad to help!

@DavidSteffy Год назад

Thank you so much!!!! You're a life saver buddy. I'd have never found that under 5 more hours of checking and testing, if that. Truly appreciate you sharing this! God bless you and have a great day!

@xismyname4432 Год назад

Will check this morning

@CrudelyMade Год назад

thank you for sharing! if it weren't for people like you, we'd all be worse off. :-)

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

Thank you so much! The only reason I do these is to help other people out...

@chuckdavis3319 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much that was exactly what was wrong with mine

@nikoz86290 Год назад

Huge help brother. Saved me hours. Thanks!

@bradmckee6427 Год назад

Thank you for the tips on the separate power and wire colors. My problem turned out to be a mouse chewed my orange wire but it gave me a wire color to chase from there once I knew I didn't have power to the orange wire! Thanks

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

Great! Glad to help. The fuse box on mine has a square hole in the lid that is easy access for a mouse. I taped it shut with ZIP panel tape. Might help....

@finn6684 3 дня назад

Thanks for your video… mine wasn’t the fuse but I did pull it out and cleaned it and it started working

@ChickenView-uv8zi 3 дня назад

Nice!

@finn6684 2 дня назад

Did it again this morning so I’m just going to replace the fuse with a new one

@armenmm9 Год назад

Thank you great vidio but witch pins do I use to power the Cluster on the bench? you mentioned the Black and white as Ground and the orange as positive 12v is that correct? or I am missing somthig

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

I have not bench tested one of these things so I don't know the proper way to do it so do it at your own risk. Here's what I do know per my testing that i did: The black/white wire is ground. The orange wire is 12V (present at all times when everything is working properly regardless of vehicle running or not) and the pink wire is 12V; present when the ignition is turned on/vehicle is running.

@CooganBear Год назад

Hope I get that lucky. Gotta do one tomorrow...

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

Good luck! yea - I made this issue 100x too complicated but I Learned a bunch of stuff along the way so that's the reason for the vid - sharing the info... I suppose if I had a manual I would have found the fuse location right off the bat but I didn't...

@maximobautista9671 Год назад

Thanks.

@jaimecastro4375 Год назад

Nice

@trevin1691 Месяц назад

Thank You! Do you have a source or link for a good schematic for the cluster pin connection?

@paulhaines5755 Месяц назад

I don't. There is a vid on youtube a guy did on this where he shows the pin-out of all the wires. I don't recall who it is, though.

@user-sd4pd9li4b Год назад

Thank you for saving us all alot of grief... POS GM

@DAVID-rz5xg Год назад

ive got continuity with my orange wire and ground. what does that mean is it normal for power to have continuity with ground?

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

I don't think that's normal. It's likely your orange wire is damaged and grounded somewhere in the vehicle. What exactly are you referring to as "continuity" on your meter?

@decartusmcfadden4338 Месяц назад

Thanks for the video My cluster went out but the fuse was not blown. I took the fuse out put it back in it started working I guess the corrosion wasn't allowed to make the connection. Show me which fuse was the key Thank you big save for me

@quangquach918 Год назад

I took the long why to find this lol

@AngelHernandez-lv7xy 9 месяцев назад

When putting in a new gauge cluster does it need to be reprogrammed or is it just a plug-in play?

@paulhaines5755 9 месяцев назад

I've not put a new one in, only repaired a couple of them so I'm not sure.

@welderusa9063 6 месяцев назад

Just saw your video. I've got a 04 Suburban my cluster just stopped working. Lights work, I checked the fuse you pointed out and it is fine and getting power. But the whole cluster is still not working. What should I do?

@paulhaines5755 6 месяцев назад

I'd pull the cluster and verify power to the pink and brown wires on the cluster harness as shown in this vid. If you have power, reseat the connector and see if you have any luck with it working. If not, I'd suggest sending it to someone that can repair the cluster as it's likely an internal issue.

@Cleatus25 4 месяца назад

I’m having same issue. I doubt a mouse chewed my orange power wire but I don’t have a way to check it. I’m assuming it could be the cluster.

@papapoynor1956 Год назад

Going through this now! I’m only getting 5 volts to orange wire! Fuse isn’t blown so idk I just stole power from radio for now

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

You might try a new fuse. It is possible for a fuse to cause higher resistance = lower voltage but I'm not sure if that is a common thing in a small automotive fuse but it's an easy thing to try. Otherwise I can't really offer any advice as I've not had that problem.

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

I think I'm wrong in what I said previously; I believe a compromised fuse could restrict current therefore causing a voltage drop "V=IR" Same goes for a damaged wire that is restricting current.

@quintinverbonac6875 8 месяцев назад

Will a gas instrument cluster gm 2500 work in 05 dura max 2500 will a gas 05 2500 instrument cluster fit in the desiel

@paulhaines5755 8 месяцев назад

I'm not sure. I've never done a swap.

@TheVatocrazy Год назад

Awesome video, but it's not my fuse...☹️ My truck gauges come on sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. Where else does that cable lead to?

@paulhaines5755 Год назад

Thanks! Not sure about wiring to and from. If I was you, I'd first check the connector to the cluster. Because your problem is intermittent, it will be hard for you to know if it's a power supply issue. I would remove the cluster and jiggle the connector that goes in to the back of it a little and see if the gauges either start working or quit working when you do that. If so, you should consider removing the cluster, take it apart and re-solder the pins that go thru the circuit board to the connector. If you are not comfortable with that, there are plenty of people out there on e-bay that repair these for about $70. They are notoriously flaky gauge clusters. It could be another issue but what I recommend for you to do is pretty easy and low risk even if you aren't a great solder guru.

@tonywilliams332 10 месяцев назад

So I did what you said and the fuse is good but the dash still isn't working

@paulhaines5755 10 месяцев назад

Hmmm - hard to say. I would first try to unplug and re-seat the connector in the back of the cluster and see if that does anything. Beyond that, you should verify power coming to the wires as shown in my vid. If you have power like you should, you might consider sending your cluster out for repair as it's likely internal to the cluster at that point. Thanks, Paul

@paulhaines5755 9 месяцев назад

One other thing to consider if you have power present to the wires but no function... Sometimes the pins in the connector "go bad" and get kinda deformed and don't make a good connection. If you wiggle the connector and you get it to function you might have pins that aren't making the connection or the pins that go thru the circuit board in the cluster for the connector might need to be resoldered.

@nickb.6884 10 месяцев назад

Thanks good video. This doesn't help with mine. Mine works then shuts off then works than works etc...

@LilPeasers 11 месяцев назад

If my 2500 HD isn’t a diesel than what fuse is it under the hood ? I don’t have a ipc fuse because it’s not a diesel

@paulhaines5755 11 месяцев назад

Hmmm - I'm not sure. You'll have to do a little more research. Sorry I can't help.

@kimberlystanley4704 10 месяцев назад

I need the same answrr

@kimberlystanley4704 10 месяцев назад

Found it, it’s under the hood in that fuse box!

@sethflood1545 2 месяца назад

Thanks buddy! U are fuckin awesome for this video!

@paulhaines5755 2 месяца назад

You bet!

@latunguley Год назад

I washed the video because the same thing happened to me three plus Fridays ago going for pizza. The most reliable vehicle I've had in 6 years died 100 yards from its parking spot lost my gauges, lost my prindle lost communication to the TCM lost communication to the ECM and obviously I lost gauges washed a couple billion other videos. For some reason. My Allison transmissions is about 6 quarts to full. I'm going to drain that tomorrow. Don't know why it's not discolored. It's pink like it should be now. I'll be checking the fuses you'd recommended. It has nothing to do that. I saw on your video with fuse ECMB under the hood and nothing to do with ignition zero at the end of the dashboard but I'm going to be checking a screenshots. I took off your videos for the dash cluster cuz the dash is out other than the back lighting
