Before taking all of this apart and doing the soldering, try an EASY fix! Check the cigarette lighter on the right side. I just used a USB adapter with a light to see it didn't work. Picked up a 15A fuse at OReilly's and 10 minutes later, with the fuse replaced for the cigarette lighter, the gauge panel worked again!

When I hear a professional mechanic say it will cost an hour of time...I KNOW it will take me 4x that amount of time and I'll probably break something. I'm a horrible mechanic and impatient. I'll just pay to have it fixed. Much respect to the pros and diy mechanics. They deserve every cent they charge IMO.

The issue I was having was no digital display readings on either displays and no gauges working. Turned out to be several solder joints were broken. No kit required. Once I removed the needles and examined that side of the board it was obvious where the problem was. In fact if you look at the instrument cluster in this video when he has the circuit board exposed (the front side under the needles) you will notice two locations that have been discolored due to overheating. One at around 10:00 and one around 2:00 position. It was these areas that I had to resolder multiple joints. Although I did purchase a kit thinking it was the stepper motors for $30. I did use the kit to upgrade my lights so I am happy I did buy it. So if you are experiencing similar problems you might just need to resolder some joints. 2004 Chevy Silverado.

I just finished replacing all of my stepper motors. A word of caution. Do not attempt this if you are not experienced at soldering and own a nice soldering iron. I have done a lot of soldering in my life and used a $400 weller soldering iron. When I was finished all of the gauges were fixed except the speedometer. Turns out I over heated one of the pins a little to much which ruined the trace on the board. I ended up taking a single conductor from a piece of cat5 and making a jumper wire to the next point where that trace went to and now it all works. My point is that if I had used the standard $20 soldering iron from the hardware store, I am positive that I would have ruined all of the traces. If your iron can’t melt the solder in a second or 2 and you have to hold it there, the glue that they use to seal the back of the board will begin to melt and ruin your solder joints. Not a solution for an amateur. Then again, if your other option is the dealer and a new cluster all together, then I guess it’s worth trying. If you ruin it, you can still always have them put in a new one. If you can afford to be without the cluster and do without the vehicle for a few days, I think the best option is to send it off for repair.

You talked about the problem where all of the gauges go wacky at the same time and you fixed this by changing all of the steppers? Could be but that doesn't make much sense. They would they all go bad like on the same day? Is the fact that one or two is bad is making all of them not work? The every gauge dead problem sounds more like a wiring or connection issue or something on the panel circuitry. This repair is likely to fix my gauges that all died on the same day?

Any idea how to address a dead cluster? Warning/signal lights work, but all needles are dead. All new stepper motors. I’ve replaced successfully the motors on three clusters, but I have two clusters that are still giving me issues. I think it may be some surface mount components but I am not sure where to start. Also it is indeed the cluster because another good cluster does work in the vehicle, and the bad cluster does not work in the vehicle the good cluster came from.

@GMGaugeRepair

Using a professional desoldering gun is the proper process. Putting tape at the end of the needles is no way accurate.The black colored stepper motors your are seen installing do not hold up and will eventually fail only leading to another repair in the future. 2003 to 2006 models have up to 5 issues: (1)Gauges fail 1 by 1 because of defective stepper motors. (2) Dim or dead VFD displays which are the PRNDL and DIC(driver info center). (3) Back lighting at night dim or dead behind the gauges, not the VFD's or digital displays.(4) Intermittent power issue where the gauge cluster and the entire panel will eventually fail leaving only your back lighting bulbs, blinker bulbs and "Check Engine" MIL lit up. (5) Solder joints and bad parts on the circuit board. There can also be software updates and need to be updated on the circuit board. If you're going to ship your cluster off and want it rebuilt properly with a guarantee, it should be done right once and once only without the inconvenience of inferior experience and inferior parts with no guarantee.

GM Gauge Repair Hi, I am experiencing probelm #4 you described to a T. It appears all my lights and stepper motors have already been replaced once in the past. What is the fix for this one? And no, I can't send it in to you. I'm very capable of doing my own electrical repairs, I just need some help troubleshooting it.

Don't buy the $20 kit or any kit that has the black stepper motors like the ones he installed in this video. Buy the kit that has white stepper motors. They will last longer. Also check your board close because you might just need to resolder some joints which is what was the case on my 2004 Silverado.

@Kjellmclean I bought a replacement cluster for around $250 with the blue numbers. I love it cause it matches my radio. Funny you mention the cigarette lighter. I let my buddy use my portable tire inflator and it drew the max power out of the fuses. After about 5 min of pumping, it blew out his cigarette lighter. Both of them. I tried to use it but it just popped a fuse. A trip to Pull-A-Part later, got newish outlets and I got a pocket full of free fuses

If you have cluster problems it's not worth trying to repair it yourself. Try AutoXpressTech. They have a $89 Complete Rebuild for Chevy GMC Clusters . That includes all stepper motors, backlighting and fixes most common problems. I also includes return shipping.

Called 1-800# BlueDriver and they insist it should fit, returning the product. Is there an adapter cable for the older models to fit the readers?

You must be looking at the wrong place to plug it in. ALL OBD2 ports are the same make and model don’t matter. You can not get a adapter to make a obd2 work on obd or obd zero it is completely different and those it is just jumping a wire and counting the check engine light flashes. The OBD2 Is not square one side is longer then the other, so it only plugs in one way. I am thinking you are looking at the wrong thing to plug a OBD2 into.

Very good but you need some experience. My heater quit and the box replacement was $2,200.oo. Now 4 & 8 on the radio does not light up, nor the window & mirror defrost and the Ashtray does not light up. We looked at it today Wed. Oct.-18-2017 and there is no bulb. I think it uses reflected light from somewhere. Any Ideas? Why are the Unions letting such junk being produced? Before Unions we did not have all these problems.
