Laurence Lee Roceta thanks . It was late and I was tired. After doing the sweep test it should align all the gauges to zero. I went back and reset all the needles . Usually I leave the front cover off to test and make sure they are all put on correctly.

jeffescortlx I hear ya. I've repaired probably 850 of these at the very least in the past decade for multiple dealers and a huge (won't say the name) nationwide used car chain . I have 25 of my own spare clusters of various models I use as loaners . I know my way around the gm clusters pretty well. He actually attempted to disassemble the cluster himself hence the screwdriver mark. He brought me his own leds. I tried to tell him not to go red. There is no diffusion and you end up with red dots showing through the face but he wanted what he wanted. I only use the flat top 3 strip dimmables when I supply the parts. A lot of people go on Amazon and buy kits then realize they might destroy their panel trying to diy them. I end up with them and parts I don't prefer to use. Probably why I try to stay away from public work and usually stick to the dealers, repair shops and car lots. Thank you for the info. I appreciate the feedback from my viewers always.

Hay Jack Meyers.. So in your video where you light up all the lights on the cluster I didn't see the check engine light ever come on whenever you done the bulb test. Is it just burned out or does it not work when you do one of these bench tests?? Thanks. Have an 02 That neath the check engine light works nor the speedometer.. But my scanner shows that the VSS is working now since I replaced it.. The truck is an 02 Chevy 1500 4.3l automatic..

Wow ur awesome thanks for the great info

Red is easier on the eyes for night driving, you don't want it to come through strong if its for function.

James Svetlovics thanks. I'm almost done with the laptop video. Have had a lot of interest but it's a tough buddies to make . I have so much on that laptop I didn't even realize it.

I am getting into this, i have a autel 906. Did you find out ?

@@raychad5058 did you ever find out?

+Paesan Control Centre That's a cool idea, but the lights are controlled by the BCM dimmer circuit, while a single multi-color LED requires different current or voltage levels. Serial Data as he marked is Class 2 serial data that communicates between modules. High Speed serial data is CAN or controller are network and is two wires, but not used to low speed devices like this IPC. The class 2 toggles from 0 volts DC to 7 volts DC, then the circuitry see an address and reads the message and directs action. This is true for most GM car since 1992, more so on the Corvette in 1997, but most all after 2000. Trucks & Vans falls behind for cost but are in a different category, but they usually get the newer tech a few years later. The factory scan-tool will work for this purpose, but he has some aftermarket equipment but still $2k and up. ASE Master Tech since 1978 / Retired

I don't think so. I checked Mitchell Repair (ProDemand) and the pinouts are different for different year/models. For instance, the 2002 Silverado shows Ckt. No. A-5 as the class 2 data pin instead of A-6 on the 2003 Silverado. Also, on my 2003 GMC Envoy it shows B1 as the IPC Class 2 Serial Data pin. So you'll need to verify before making these connections.

DaBuGzLiFe yes. Different protocol I believe. You need the pinout but yes I have done quite a few of the newer ones same way

It looks like the MK808 doesn't have bidirectional functions, which you will need to perform this task. The Autel DS808 is bidirectional though. Of course at nearly $800, this may be out of our price range. What I ended up getting, is the THINKDIAG unit. It has full bidirectional capabilities & only costs about $120 ! I just got it & verified it will do the all-gauge sweep, & and the all-light & odometer test on the IPC of my 2003 GMC Envoy. It comes with a one year subscription for two manufacturers of your choice. You can add any of the (I think 132?) Manufacturers for $39.99/year per make. It is a VCI/Dongle that interfaces with your android smartphone, tablet or iPhone. The app is free & user-friendly. (The app isn't compatible yet with older android OS version's) Considering how much it costs to update the Autel, Snap on Verus etc., I think this is the way to go.

RotoDan I'll find out and get back to you. I got my first one from a snap on dealer. Lost it and bought my second on Amazon. Just searched and couldn't find it. I'll do a little research and find it where you get them. It's seriously my favorite tool. I can check every fuse in a car in no time at all.

+Jack Meyers thanks bro appreciate it

I know this is a year later but to help someone else with the same need, Mitchell offers a month access to the factory service manual for $19.95 that all the pinout info can be accessed.

Clusters change completely in 03-07. Pre 03 might be a lot of work to get it to work if that's even possible

Yeah that's gonna be a pain. Things like the Volt and oil in the older cluster is going to be looking for a analog signal that doesn't exist in the 03 chassis.

Broke ground on passenger side of engine block in the back

I think I got the answer from one of your other videos. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q79gfMx-mbHbeps.html

Cutting the signal input line is a bad idea. Why is the light coming on? Have you read the codes? I do not recommend it. Cutting a data line input is always a bad idea. I have rebuilt many clusters that someone has dissasembled and simply taken the bulb off. If you're absolutley determined to eliminate it maybe just take the front cover off and cover the bulb with aluminum tape? That way when you do repair the problem its easy to correct. Disclaimer * In the gm clusters the ebrake ,abs and brake fluid lights are all interconnected so if you leave your ebrake on or your brake fluid gets low you will have no warning.

Check the frame ground under the drivers foot. Easy... Use a piloted brush to scour the frame surface and emery cloth to clean off the terminal lugs.

Gregg Estok have you done anything to it or did it just stop displaying the mileage

Jack Meyers just stop Just stopped in day can see at night

Have you done any work to it? Push on the 511 resistors while it's powered and see if it comes on. If not put pressue on various parts of the board until it powers up and that will point you where the problem is. Works for about 99 percent of the ones i fix.

@@jackmeyers2911 I have checked and resoldered all the 511 and 240 resistors. Still nothing. No motor noise, no lights or display

Figure this one out? I'm having the same issue

@@lazydog76 Did you figure this out ? Same problem in my Tahoe.

Yea for sure. Ive actually built 3 really nice ones in the last couple years. I keep adding features like a dimmer control for the lighting and a sweep test button. My newest one has 3 outputs . 99 to 02 . 03 to 06 and 07 to 2010. A basic one that gets the job done is pretty easy to build.

@@jackmeyers2911 I would like to have your newest one jack what do I have to do to git it ?

Also interested in a bench tester

@@jackmeyers2911 Building a basic bench tester would make a great video!

Hey jack how can I purchase your 3 option gm bench tester plug really interested please reach out to me on how can we arrange this purchase

Grumpy's Channel sorry. No I live in northern California.

:-) no worries we found a good guy here... or he is so far. Waiting for him to rebuild mine, the board shorted out some how! thanks for the reply back.

Meyersjj76@gmail.com

Michael Box maybe. Not sure which brand you used. To each his own i guess.I bought 400 of them aftert using my first set. They are quieter, faster and come with a lifetime warranty. I know that much. I have about 30 of the 400 left and have never had a cluster come back with a bad one. All the white ones out there even the jenken snap together, are noisy and slow. For me they work better. The fact that they screw together instead of snapping together and are not an identical clone of the failure prone originals will keep me using them.

I know this is a old post, but just wanted to add, even though I'm using genuine X27's, I've seen pretty much zero failures on the black screwed together steppers.

if the same pins probably

@scionnn no they are not the same pin qg18 nissan replaced cruze engine
