Cluster, Radio, HVAC LED Swap Polarity Info.

[2005-Z71]

I never could find this information for my truck specifically (2005) so I did it myself and figured it'd be helpful for others.

Here are a few pictures of the complete dash. Door switches and rear audio/hvac controls come next.

Looks good. Just got mine done about a month ago. I love them. Mine look a little darker blue. But very nice, just wish i knew how to do it myself. Was the radio very hard to do. I dont have that one, i have nav, but thats the only one thats not blue on mine.

I haven't a clue about a navigation radio but I will say I was the most nervous about doing the radio and had the most trouble with. It's a awkward series circuit with 2 series/parallel circuits with polarities colliding. It doesn't make sense electrically but it works.

Looks awesome. I did mine about a year and a half ago. Done several other trucks since, including Mike (TahoeWhat). I know what you mean about the series wiring on the stock bulbs. Its confusing as hell!! All the 00-02 AC controls are like that, so are the 03-06 controls with the sliders. Also all overhead rear AC controls are wired like that too. Keep that in mind when you go to do your overhead AC controls.

I liked the info however does the red line indicate that the solered point on that end is the positive node?
