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!

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?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
