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!

Just did the same a few weeks ago for my 2017. Easy upgrade.

      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

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