Gauges get stuck in 2005 Denali

Hi guys, my 2005 yukon Denali, is normally parked under the burning sun for hours and when I go to start it, to go to work, the outside temp would be about 45degrees Celsius, So after I start my denali, I notice that the battery, fuel and rpm gauges get stuck and not functioning properly...

Why is that?
Is there an electrical problem in my car, or is it just the heat?

Thanks,
Aymen

    They just don't function (move) only the oil temp, temp and speedometer gauges work fine,,, and yes they work normally after sitting in a cooler weather or at night...

    Hope this clarifies my point!!!!

It's the step motors inside the cluster that control the gauges . From 2003 to 2006 GM had bad step motors . You need a new cluster or you can buy a kit off ebay or amazon

SOURCE: '04 GMC Yukon Denali Check Engine Light

Did u put in fuel shortly before the light came on? I own 2 service centers & the most common situation with "Check Engine" lights are because the fuel cap wasn't re-installed or not tightened. When you refuel make sure it "clicks" when putting back on. We don't charge for a "Code Reading" but a dealer will, don't go there. Go, like the others suggested. If it is the fuel cap & you re-install it correctly, the light will go off after a short drive. Good Luck. PS-Don't panic when the "Check Engine" light comes on unless it blinks, if that happens don't drive. PSS-RE: Murray's, Auto-Zone.......If it's a "Code" (the reader will give a #) the code book will tell you the problem. PSSS-Some1 please have Troy W's Mommy & Daddy take away his keyboard. Just because you can put together a "Lego" car doesn't make you a master mechanic. You only repeated what we said except you have a "Napoleon" complex against any1 plugging something in to a vehicle. It's the same as plugging in a light @ home. In conjunction with "kinder" nine out of ten time in my experience it usually is the oxygen sensor(s) which would be about right with the year model

SOURCE: Heated Seats, Yukon Denali

You will need to replace the switch module, it is the only thing that can cause this to happen

SOURCE: Heated seats won't stay on in 2004 GMC Yukon Denali

There is a widespread problem with electrical shorts with the seat warmers. I bought the extended warranty through CarMax and theyy fixed it. Retail repair cost on that would have been $900+. It may be covered by GMC via a recall, but only if you raise enough hell.

Where is the air compressor for the ride control on 06 gmc denail

Ride control compressors burn up because of leaking air line or shocks. Replacing compressor won't last long if you have a leak. Most of these units are mounted under floor near rear axle.

I changed the steering column on my 2005 Yukon Denali and now it will start but won't stay running.

You probably interrupted the antitheft system. This link explains.

Speedometer

I had the same problem with my 2004 yukon. It seems all the gauges in the insturment cluster are known to go bad from 2003-2006 in GMC and Chevys. The deaerships are trying to sell you a new instrument cluster which is pretty costly if your warrenty is up. I repaired the circuit board on my insturment cluster myself and everything is working fine now. Since hearing abouth this problem I have started repairing the insturment cluster as a side business. If your vehicle is out of warrenty and your intersted shoot me an e-mail ([email protected]).
