I need some troubleshooting help on an WAMS upgrade I did in March of this year. Let me be clear that this is not a WAMS issue, but a GM issue. 
 
I have 2015 Silverado that I upgraded to the digital cluster and CarPlay/Android Auto HMI Radio. I had great service and everything has been working fine.
 
Yesterday, I got into the truck and the 8” screen was black. There was no logo flashing up as typical on the cluster or the screen. The radio is not playing and the cluster states Audio Off. None of the USB ports are live. I have pulled the RDO fuse (to reset HMI) and also tried disconnecting the battery for 10+ minutes. No change.
 
I am trying to determine my next troubleshooting steps. I am planning to reconnect the HMI connector (to make sure it is not loose). I also have my old HMI, but I am unsure if I should try it.
 
I am open to next steps/thoughts.
 
Thanks,
 
Chip

Start with swapping your old radio first that’s the MOST bus master then you can swap hmi if need be. It’s not too bad to troubleshoot if you have spare parts :)

Thanks to Mr. Chris White I now have a Denali gauge cluster in my 2016 Sierra SLT. Once he did his programming it was plug and play. Everything works just like it does in My wife's 2016 Yukon Denali

You’ve been asking and we’ve been listening. Granted it took longer than anyone would have liked we are changing up our operations a bit to hopefully make things easier on everyone; especially the con

Thanks, Chris. I will start with the radio  tonight since I do have all of my old parts.


Sounds like a plan. I don’t have records on me but if you got the car play parts from us they are still under warranty.

Did you have anything plugged into the USB similar thing happens to my boss. He has a iPod he left plugged in the dealer said that’s what burned out his. HMI or so they say but he has the same issues.
I also know these trucks have gremlins I drove to work one day with no sound blinkers nothing. Left work and it was back to normal. Another time went to a store I had no steering wheel controls or phone. Left the store it worked fine idk. I have the Denali cluster to but it’s def a gm thing.

Update:

 

I removed the CarPlay radio and hooked up my old radio. Hooked up the battery and everything came back to life.

Shutdown the truck and unhooked the battery. Replaced my old radio with the CarPlay radio. Hooked the battery back up and once again everything came back to life.

 

My assumption is that the MOST bus must have locked up and never got the power all of the way off the system for it to reset. Removing the device completely must have done the trick.

 

Chris, thanks for the suggestion and guidance. Definitely saved me a lot of trouble.

 

Jaychevy81, good suggestion. I didn’t have anything hooked up other than my phone for CarPlay. Maybe that freaked the bus out somehow. I appreciate the info. It may have had something to do with it.

I have reached out to WAMS with a few questions on making the cluster swap for my 2018 Silverado. I plan to trade-in the truck in 3 years or so, and it will be paid off. Do you guys think that when I go to trade it in then, that the dealer will give me a problem since I've made several different little mods to the truck?

 

I forgot to ask, on the infotainment center, does it show the GMC or Chevy logo?

I cracked the very thin clear cover to the cluster on my 2017 so I bought a used Cluster with the exact Part number and took it to get re-programed at the dealer but they are having issues programing it ,  I thought it would be a quick deal in / Out  but they kept the truck over night waiting to hear back from a "Sensay Guru" programmer out of another dealership somewhere else. So I'm going to fix my cluster (plastic see through piece) and see if I cant  Recoup some monies back by selling it.

Should have just bought the cluster lens thru WAMS..

Yeah they cant do it and if its the dealer that just contacted us today you need to get the truck back and contact us.

Holy cow there is a ton of information on here. (And a lot of people wanting to sell lol).

Not sure if this is the right place to post.. But here it goes.

 

-2015 PPV Tahoe  I checked the sticker in the glove compartment and it has the VV4 option on it so I'm assuming its the 2015.5?

 

-I currently have the stock I03 radio which can't do anything in the process of finding a replacement on Radio from CrutchField and wondering what are the chances that the radio will show up on the Denali Cluster or if only the stock one will do that... Hoping to spend closer to 500 than 1200.

 

*I know I don't own a truck but there is a lot more info on this site!  

 

*Yes I read through all 81 Pages. Confused if I'm supposed to email GTPprix on the weekend or weekday or whenever lol but figured I would ask here first. Maybe @cmatt knows something since hes a Tahoe Wiring guru

I have all the parts for a 2014/15 apple car play/andriod auto and Denali cluster upgrade.  I recently totaled out my 14 GMC Sierra SLE that I had previously upgraded (thanks to this webpage).  I took out all the upgraded parts and replaced them with my stock parts.  If anyone is interested in completing the full upgrade/swap please let me know.  Of course, like we've all read, the parts will have to get programmed to your VIN.  Thanks!

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

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
