So my wife left our garage open over night and when I woke up my gauge cluster was acting weird. I'm thinking someone tried to break into the truck, but I'm not sure. I took a video of it. If anyone knows what's going on or how to fix it, I could use your help.

Thanks

I'm planning on doing that on Monday. But was hoping there was something else I could do in the mean time.

How cold did it get there last night? Almost acting like a bad battery or ground.

Do you have squirrels at your house? Better look under the hood at all of your wireing, I hope I'm wrong because they made a mess out of my wire harness on my Tacoma, over 1300 for the harness alone+ labor

So I got my truck back this afternoon. They said it needed to be flashed, not sure what caused it but it's fixed now. Thanks for the help guys.

Well the truck is back at the dealership! Not exactly sure what's going on but they think I've got a bad HMI module. Hopefully they can fix it fast!

Have you tried hitting it with palm of your hand? :lol:

I tried using my fist and that didn't work! haha

HI. I would like to know what happened to your truck having the gauge cluster issue. My 2015 1500silverado is doing the same thing. I have taken it to the more than six times for the same issue.

I have a 2015 silverado 1500 on lease. Got it December 2014. My lease is up in March. I started having weird things happening like my radio would stop working for a few minutes and then my lights on the panel would go out and come back on. My fuel mileage dropped from 18 to 13 mpg. It was running rough and the transmission felt like it was shifting slow and rough. Then yesterday I was driving along and all of a sudden It slipped out of gear and I couldn't accelerate it just reved up the rpms as I pushed on the gas but I wasn't moving then it kicked back in and drove fine. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the cluster that needed to be replaced and since I was past 36,000 mikes my warranty wouldn't cover it. They charged me 100.00 to diagnose it. I havnt had it fixed yet since the truck isn't very old this should never have happened and I want gm to fix it. I need help anyone k ow what to Do?

Isn't your lease up this month? Why not just turn it back in?

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
