Hey Texas, see the picture for the PRND321 fix. Need to solder the diodes, Top & Bottom.

dhulsey779 this will fix the PRNDL not working?
because that is the problem i am having
do i have to replace the diode or just re-solder it?

Texas_smoker posted his cluster went dead other than the led's

i dont want to pull apart my cluster again unless this is a fix for Texas' problem


thanks

I re-solder the diodes both top & bottom. This brighten up the PRND321 & message center where you can read everything once again.

did you re-solder all of the diodes or only the one you circled in the picture you provided?

 

[dhulsey779]

I re-solder all of them.

When you resolder them make sure to desolder them first if you can. Either with a wick or desoldering tool. Also make sure not to leave the iron on the circuit board to long or you run the risk of burning the trace or ruining the thing your soldering,trust me it sucks trying to repair it. Also check to see if you ran the solder together on the things your resoldering, it's a tight spot so it's very possible for that to happen.

05 Yukon cluster dead

I just completed the Led swap and i was repositioning a few of the Led's and all of a sudden the entire cluster went dead except the led's. I have checked all the fuses and they are good. Also, if I start the car the check engine light comes on then goes out.
None of the gages work either. Any ideas???

Did u find a solution???? did the some thing
