However, an electrical issue arose. If: Daytime running lights are turned off (switch...

    Interior lights flickering

    My automatic interior lighting system is working correctly, if you need something checked for grounding or wiring or any kind of mulitmeter reading let me know. Doing right hand turns would make me assume its the drivers door not sealing properly, as it pulls away from the switch. Try pushing...

    Both Speedometer and Tachometer are wrong

    When you go to “add cart” on rockauto for the instrument cluster it allows you to enter in your odometer in and VIN number. They are remanufactured so you can get one with a faded screen. I switched the “new” faded with my original clear screen. Its 3 push clips that are super easy to be undone...

    Both Speedometer and Tachometer are wrong

    Thank you all for your help in trying to get my Tahoe fixed, received a Dorman replacement cluster today and it was exactly the issue. I could tell it was something in the gauges that was just plum wore out, as if you tipped the old one upside down the speedometer needle would very quickly move...

    1996 Suburban alt question

    I have a 1996 tahoe, and it reads on the gauge 14v when running, 10-12v while sitting (depending if im using it). If the battery reads 14v at the terminals while running then there really shouldn't be anything to worry about. Unless of course, that the gauge is showing that rest of the system...

    Both Speedometer and Tachometer are wrong

    Hello all, Recently got a 1996 2 door Tahoe in my possession, and has it been a great truck to work on (is it considered a truck really?). Anyways, I noticed that the speedometer reads 5mph too high in the city and 8-10mph off on the highway (i.e, Im actually going 25mph but the speedo shows...
