2000 silverdo in sig


I have no gauge cluster lights.

All gauges work fine other than lighting up at night.

Radio lights up and works fine

Ac control lights light up fine

dome light works

dimmer switch works

The digital read out in the middle works. Will also dim and brighten when dimmer switch position is moved along with ac and dimmer switch lights.

I check all fuses that would control gauges. good

I also check all fuses suggested through google searches. good

I also literally check every fuse in fuse panel under hood and inside cab on driver side. Good


From what i read online i believe i may have i loose wire in behind the dimmer switch. just assuming. I havn't got that far yet. Just wanted to see if you guys or girls have any suggestion into pointing me in the right direction.


I should also add. they were working at one time. i believe i was missing with the dimmer switch one day during the day and drove truck at night days later and noticed it.


thanks for any tips

 

All the light bulbs finally burnt out. If the gear selector dims properly then the wire to the cluster is hooked up correctly. Just have to pull the cluster out and put 7 new type-194 bulbs in.

 

I wouldn't think all the bulbs go out at one time.
Next chance I get I'm going to pull cluster.
I will try change bulbs and see if that works.

 

If they didn't go out, you have a defective cluster. It's not unusual for these clusters to have solder joint issues, particularly around the connector base. Soldering on them is retardedly difficult, due to the tinfoil circuit traces and crappy through-board traces.

 

Replace your dimmer switch. It is most likely the cause. If they went out one by one I would say it's the bulbs on the gauges. But since they all go out at once it points to the dimmer switch.

You could always call this guy and talk to him

It's a 2000. They are twist in. They do not solder in.
