I’m having a issue with the dashboard not coming on not working what so ever . Speedo and rpm gauge not working and the digital display not showing up and also my radio blacked out as well plus steering wheels controls are not lit up . But everything else seems to work fine . Even my backup camera comes on in reverse it’s very odd to me so if anyone could help I’d appreciate it deeply .

Welcome to the site.

 

My guess is your HMI module is going bad. Taking down one function at a time.

So it that will cause all that stuff to not work. Or that just for the radio? I just wondering if it’s a fuse or something .

Believe it controls most/all of the electronics associated with the dash.

 

There are some post on here about the same/similar problem.

Could lead me in the right direction cause I really shouldn’t be driving it until it fixed and I’d like to do what I need cause I have no idea what’s going on and I just got the truck about a week ago and haven’t even drove it but once . And I appreciate your help

And it that the box that you remove the glove box to get to with like 5 plugs or something .

Yes sir.

 

I would do some research and see if you can upgrade to the current version so you can add CarPlay, if that is really the problem.

Ok cool I really appreciate the help . I’ll run through everything one more time tomorrow and see what I come up with . And also to know if it’s bad would I need to take it to the dealership to let them run a test to determine if that the issues if I can’t fine anything myself.

Well I have figured out the issue I’m sure I put in some aftermarket leds headlights bulbs and well I decided to remove them just to see and put the factory yellow bulbs back in and got up this morning and opened the dirt everything is working completely fine . That’s just crazy . So now I have to do some research and get some actual led bulbs that won’t effect that problem from happening again .

That is good news for the holiday's.

 

Search around on the site to find a brand of LED's that don't cause adverse electrical effects and you should be fine to run them.

 

Merry Christmas!!!

Post a picture of your dash, so we can see what you are describing.

 

Do any of the lights on the gauge cluster work?

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
