Replaced instrument cluster 2003 gmc yukon now

I'll try to help, everytime something gets replaced on these yukons, that circuit needs to be RESET ! Is there a reset button, on your steering wheel, to reset a variety of functions ? , check owners manual, or call your dealer for better advise

Hello,

This is a common problem with the 03-06 Yukons. Check this page for more about it - Yukon instrument cluster problems

Thanks,

Locate the fuse box underneath the drivers side steering wheel and replace the instrument cluster fuse. If your fuse comes out ok then the float inside your gas tank is stuck.

Pretty common problem with these. Here's a guide to learn how to fix GM instrument clusters yourself, I used it to fix mine and it worked great.How to guide for Silverado instrument cluster repair

Sounds as though u have experience the GM usual cluster failure. They go bad more often then probably any other vehicle. Gm has been replacing some under a goodwill warranty for some customers.

There is no speedometer cable on the 2003 Yukon, if there is no transmission issues like shifting problem. Your instrument cluster has gone bad, to pinpoint. Your stepper motor to your speedometer gauge has failed and needs to be replaced. You can do a search on Ebay for the stepper motor for around $10.00 which is better then the $400.00 cost of another instrument cluster.
There was a TSB on the replacement of the instrument cluster for your Yukon free of charge. The only cost to you is the labor charge unless your willing to do the job your self. Just go to the Gm Dealer and give them this TSB Number: # 07187C: Special Coverage Adjustment - Instrument Panel Cluster Gauge Needle Function - (Mar 20, 2009)

This is common on the 03-06 Yukon instrument clusters and is caused by failing stepper motors on the cluster's circuit board. It is fixable though, check out this page for more on how to get it fixed - Yukon tachometer does not work

If this is an intermittent problem,
remove the IPC 10A fuse in the fuse box under the hood,
not in the fuse panel by the driver side door,
for 5 minutes.
The electronics will reset.

disconnect ur positive battery cable. make sure not to set alarm with remote. let set for about 5 minutes, this happened to my 2003 gmc yukon xl and it actually worked
