The only realistic way the gauges can come back on is if there is a problem with your ignition switch - it is not staying off in the off position. The switch is located at the bottom of the steering column and may have come loose, may be misaligned or may be faulty.

SOURCE: Battery dies after 2 days of non-use. Checked

it would take about 350 hours to kill your battery at 200 ma leakage .. between the computer, radio and anything else that has "keep alive" conditions .. i would think 200ma is maybe on the high side of normal .. to kill the battery in 2 days would require a continuous drain of more than 1.5 amps .. that would be about what the trunk light or under hood light would draw .. make sure those are going off .... alternator diodes can have leakage thats very high .. of course if you are measuring the leakage current right at the battery connector then all leakage sources should be included in the reading .. if its only 200ma then you might have a bad battery (low on water or sulfated) .. Pb acid batteries are easily ruined by leaving them discharged for a while .. and the maintainence free types can only handle a few deep discharges .. .

SOURCE: 2001 chevy silverado 4.8 gas gauge not working properly

Fairly common problem with GM vehicles. The sending unit in your tank has a small circuit board that an arm is attached to which moves up and down according to your fuel level. This circuit board and arm are not making good contact. Unfortunately the only good solution is to replace this part.

Testimonial: "thought probably that was it but better off replacing whole unit .i was for for gauge proplem thanks. "

My 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 extended cab heater won't shut off when I turn heater off and when truck isn't started and still stays on

Sounds like the HIGH fan relay is stuck in the ON position. Pull the relay and see if it goes off. It should. Then simply replace the relay. This relay should be located under the hood, in the black relay/fuse center.

When i first start my truck it takes 45 seconds before my oil pressure gauge ever moves

First do an oil and oilfilter change, if that doesn't solve the problem check the oil pump and oil press valve. Your engine are running out off oil and you could damage the bearings.

ABS breack moduale wont shut off

May be your abs control module. Check autoecu.com and call the number listed and technical support can help and repair this abs control module if it is bad . They just repaired mine for the same problem you are having. My truck is a 2001 GMC Sonoma SLS with the extended cab. It works fine now. You need to pull the 60 amp fuse for the abs system that is under the hood to keep the pump from running all the time so it want drain your battery down. If the pump keeps running all the time it can damage it also and they are expensive.

How much have you driven vehicle? You need to drive long enough for computer to reset refrence points onboard. If that does not work, you have a bad voltage limiter on your instrument cluster board!
