Hi Jeff 👋 just wanted to chime in and say that after much KZbin "U" videos last fall i preformed the A8 ground correction , minimal successes was had , after driving through the winter months with ever increasing random ( hit a bump ) outage/reboot. I slid the closest tool ( an ice scraper) above the cluster and wiggled the cluster connection,,,,, woop woop ,,, 🙌 it worked 💪 . So i left it stuffed in there 😆 worked great till the temperatures climed close to the hondo mark ,,,, so i decided to disassemble the dash again,,,, i know just 4 screws because i had never put the basel back on .... anyway to make a very long story shorter ,,,,, I had read about all the wonky soldier joints on these clusters ,,,,, imagine how surprised I was to find the joints for the actual cluster connector had were bad . I proceeded to resolider those ( yep i did em all ) and to my amazement lol the cluster is now working as designed 😅 thanks for all the work you do for the struggling 99-02 chevrolet silverado lovers out here 💪🙏🙌👍🏻👍🏻💯

@jeffescortlx7 ай бұрын
Since the volt gauge is continuously working, that lets me know the ground and ignition wire is good. And since the RPM and mile per hour are cutting in and out along with the gauges that use the bus signal, that lets me know it's probably not the serial bus. So you probably have internal cluster issues, like fractured solder joints on the cluster PCB.

I used to get a split-second signal loss of the cluster when hitting a bump but as soon as I grounded A8, the problem became much worst.

For 2002 and older it's always a sending unit. Chevy didn't start to use defective stepper motors until 2003. But the cluster doesn't trigger the low fuel light by the location of the needle. So even if you did have a bad aircore gauge motor, it's impossible for that to trigger the low fuel light. You have a bad sending unit, and or wiring to the sending unit.

I've been having issues with my 2000 Silverado cluster. When I turn the truck off, take the key out, open and shut the door, once the dome light goes out, the high beam indicator and cruise control indicator both light up on the cluster and stay lit. It drains the battery. Also the D on the gear select is dimly lit, just barely able to make it out when it's dark. Even if I take the key out and leave the door open, the lights will still come on. Everything on the cluster works fine and normal. I've sent the cluster out for refurbishment, still does it. I don't know if it's the cluster or something else shorting out waking the cluster up. I've replaced the multifunction switch with factory new, still does it. Next I will put a refurbished BCM in. Maybe it's bad?? Idk.
