INSTRUMENT GAUGES FLICKERING

[SHooper4]

I have recently had some issues when starting my truck all of the instrument panel and gauges either intermitently work and flicker or don't work at all. It is not a defective needle motor and I removed the Gauge panel looking to see if it was a loose conection.

al the digital readings, lights and guages continuousy flicker as if a loose ground.

 

The dealer wanted $500+ to fix, by replacing the gauges and reprograming.

 

Anyone having or had problems like this? Any suggestions? I can order the part myself from GM Parts direct for $165. and it took less then 10 minutes to remove and resinstall the old gauges.

I still need to have it reprogrammed for the milage but just wondering if it isn't soemthing else.
