So I guess my gauges went out? My speedometer is stuck on 60 and the RPM's are stuck on 2,000 with no movement on either. It doesn't even show what gear I'm in or I can't see the mileage or anything. Any suggestions? I turned the truck off and it says I'm going 60 mph lol

Can try and disconnect the battery completely positive and negative and reset the computer. Leave unhooked couple min. This may rep boot things for you.

If not pull the dash disconnect the cluster. If that doesn't do it. 98% sure the cluster board is dead.

Thanks for the reply. So if the cluster is dead what can I do to get it working again?

 

[jdpber]

Couple things.
Send off to a rebuilder.
Buy a used one off eBay.
Go to a pick n pull LKQ or junk yard and get one.

Finally cash this one with hammer. I prefer save this for last resort.

If I replace it with another gauge cluster will have all the info from my truck or will it have the info from the truck it came off? Sorry for all the questions and I really appreciate your help with this bro but I have nt had this prob before.

Referring to MPG and fuel and oil life etc it obtains that Infor from the computer in your truck. Along with miles. So yes you will have all of your same info retained.

Awesome, thanks for your help. Do the escalde clusters work with tahoe's? I have an 04 so would I need to get an 04 escalde cluster?

For you an 03-06 cluster from a truck (gas of corse) or Denali or ecki will work.

Well I took everything apart and right before I unpluged the cluster it went back to normal. So I just put everything back together. maybe the cluster is failing or maybe just loose wires either way I'm happy for now. Thanks for your input. I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for an escalade cluster, I didn't know u could just put one of those in and it would work with all the miles and stuff from the truck. I thought it kept the info from the vehicle it came off of.
