Why does the instrument panel cluster wont work?

The cause is the motors behind the gauges are failing, they all go out eventually. You can get it repaired here – www.drspeedometer.com and there’s a DIY guide here – www.howtorepairmyinstrumentcluster.com This is very common on the 03-06 Silverados. The cause is the motors behind the gauges are failing, they all go out eventually.

Is the VIN info in the DIC cluster?

No it isn’t, it’s the door module which controls all the functions in the door. Well, I’m here to report that the cluster came back re-programmed and all functions returned. Apparently there was a VIN mix up with the programming, so my VIN info was programmed into the cluster and all is well.

How does DIC work on a Chevy truck?

So I sourced a switch from a used auto parts yard and made sure the codes on the back of the switch matched. When the switch was installed, apparently the VIN information from the used switch (thru the drivers door control module) was sent to the cluster, so the truck who’s switch I installed didn’t have the programming.

Why is my DIC button on my steering wheel not working?

Reinstalled the cluster and all functioned normally, but for some reason, the DIC and steering wheel buttons stopped working. The puddle lamps as well as the reverse light illumination via remote lock / unlock stopped functioning too. I contacted the company that refurbed the cluster to see if the firmware update may have caused the malfunction.
