Just installed the LEDs I ordered from tachtronics. Everything works great. I would add that I saw in another video somewhere that you can check your lights by taking one of the square 9V batteries (used in smoke alarms) and hook it up to the far left bulb slot, which is empty on my 2003 Tahoe. I used that to check each LED as I installed them. That way I didn't have to wait until I reinstalled the cluster to find I goofed on one (which I did).

I did this to my 2001 Venture only because I cant find the replacement bulb. Do not pull off the needles or you could damage the delicate plastic gear inside the gauge. Instead desolder the gauge from the board. I had to buy another gauge as a result. I had to put the old gauge back since the mileage is lower and I did that by simply desoldering the gauge from the back.

So, I have a 2002 Chevy avalanche. And we are told we can't have a transmission temperature gauge installed in our cluster because there is no transmission sending unit on This year of avalanche BUT when I installed my diablo sport, trinity t1000 tuner/programmer which hooks into the OBD2 port and it tells me my transmission temperature so I must have a sending unit on My transmission. What say you. I know I have the spot in the gauge cluster for a temperature gauge and would really like to have one installed if anyway possible and if it's not because of no trans temperature sender in the 02 Avalanche why is it that a temp gauge can not be installed in an 02? Thanks for your time.

If you must have the light off without correcting the cause of the light, I’d recommend covering the light instead of removing it, that way you can revert back if needed. A couple of layers of black electrical take to the back of the appliqué should do the trick.

I’ve seen vehicles where the P R N D are red along with the LCD screen. Is there a way to change that or would they have bought a whole different instrument cluster? Great vid.
@Tachtronics
@Tachtronics 5 жыл бұрын
Killerteve thanks. There are a few ways to change the color of those screens. You can apply a film to the back of the gauge face to change the color or you can buy a custom gauge face. The film route is much cheaper but will also dim down the brightness of those screens a little.

JonathanP863 sorry for the late reply and the experience you’re having with your mechanic. Sounds to me like some of the backlighting bulbs are out. Your cluster should just need a few bulbs installed; however, if a few bulbs have already burnt out, I’d suggest replacing all of the backlighting bulbs while you’re at it.
