Gauge Cluster 03 1500HD

[30 1500HD]

I have a 03 1500HD LT new body style

I am having some issues with the high beam & door lock (padlock) looking indicator lights staying on when truck is off

hence killing the battery. (red top optima)

I have had my cluster in for recall repair

I have checked the EBM disconnecting 1 at a time to see if problem/indicator lights goes off

I have not checked the ECM yet as it is under battery tray

Does anybody have a clue why this is happening?

Thanks

Mike

Does anyone have an issue like this or heard of this?

I take my keys out truck off

and the high beam (blue) indicator light is illuminated and so is the(red) (padlock) Doorlock indicator

light on gauge cluster. not bright just faintly illuminated, but enough to kill battery after 3 weeks parked.

I have had my dash in for recall, worked great till I parked after hunting/camping/towing season

theses 2 indicator lights drained my red top optima. Now this issue has arised in gauge cluster

I have checked the BCM under column unplug 1 at a time to see if they go out still on. im thinking its the ECM under battery tray because im having a low idle issue.

 

I am a marine tech/mech working on mercury/mercruiser Sea-Ray, Boston Whaler Boats

Sea-Ray uses gm modified for marine engines only. form 3.0L 4cyl to 496-502 V-8 blocks

 

of coarse the boats don't have theses gauge cluster or BCMs under steering column

But they do have the ECMs but are mercuiser modified and controlled

just kinda stumped on this issue

 

Thanks for any feedback

Just got my trk back for Coopers Auto Repair

They found the circuit board in gauge cluster was bad $740 to repair

no lights staying on all good.

Chevrolet screwed all ( late 02)-03-06-(07 early) truck buyers when they put these crappy circuit boards and clusters in our trucks these years

Like A Rock (Bunch of Rocks)

Don't know why there was not a more extensive class action law suit against GM/Chevrolet about theses junk gauge clusters

I still Love my Truck 03 1500HD LT Crew

But come on GM/Chevrolet Step up do the right thing stand behind your product!!!!!
