I swapped in a 2500HD cluster and mine worked with no programming.

It should have been plug n play with no programming. Perhaps you should double check your work

Some clusters did not have to be programmed and some do, unfortunately I think mine does,I have checked my work and all seems good,The speedometer shops have a way of turning the trans temp gauge on,I was wanting to know the process on how he dealer can do with a tech 2.

I guess I've been lucky with the 40 or so I've worked on, have worked with no programming. Don't know the dealer procedure

Maby I am doing something wrong,my cluster is one that has been reprogammed befor to turn the DIC and radio control on the steering wheel,My truck is an 04 ls,I dont know if that matters,so you have just soldered the stepper motor in and it worked,do you remember if the light was already in or not or if it made a difference,I soldered the light in mine and that part works,any help with this I do appreciate.

No light, no nothing in the position. We added them to all our trucks 7 or 8 years ago. I have heard second hand stories of people not having them work after adding the stepper. You might try searching the site for threads with this problem

Z71_AST went through the same issue. Not sure if he ever resolved it.

Look through this search. Several threads hit on your problem. I would contact a few of the rebuilders and ask them. They usually are helpful

I have talked to a couple of rebuilders and they have said some do and some dont work without programming,I was just wanting to know what procedure to do at the dealer if possible without having to ship it off.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
