How do I remove the dash cluster on my 2005 Silverado?

Watch the above video to see exact steps. Its a very simple process that can be done in about 20 min.

Be sure to first set the emergency brake and next disconnect your battery.

To remove the instrument cluster on a 2005 Chevy Silverado you must first disconnect the negative battery cable. If there is any chance of an air bag deploying you must put on safety glasses.

You must tilt down the steering wheel, turn signal lever and lower dash panel to access the screws that hold the cluster in place. After the screws are removed you will need to pull it out and disconnect all of the electrical connectors.

Can I drive my truck without the instrument cluster?

You can drive a vehicle without a working instrument cluster, but you won't have any information on your speed or fuel level. You may also be unable to keep track of the temperature inside your car if it gets too hot or cold because there won't be any information about that in your instrument cluster.

How do you know if your dash cluster is bad?

The easiest way to determine if your instrument cluster needs to be replaced is for it read "Service Engine Soon" and/or the Oil Life Monitor reads 0%.

The oil life monitor is driven by an internal counter that turns over once the engine starts. There are some other things that cause the "service engine soon" light to be on but 99.9% of the time it's because your instrument cluster is bad.

Where is the instrument cluster fuse?

The instrument cluster fuse is also known as the Fuel Pump Trip Circuit Fuse. It's under the hood on the drivers side of the engine compartment in a 2005 Chevy Silverado. Components that may cause the check engine light to turn on include:

1) Dead or dying gas cap. The OBDII connects to the fuel tank door and uses this as a ground to operate. If your gas cap is bad and not holding pressure or securely attached it will create problems with this system. Replace with OEM GM parts only.

2) Corroded/dirty terminals and wiring. This includes the connections at the OBDII and the fuel filler door (fuel pump trip). Clean with electrical contact cleaner or dielectric grease.

3) Bad instrument cluster. If you have replaced all of the above components and still get a check engine light on your Silverado, the instrument cluster may be bad.

How do you replace the instrument cluster on a 2005 Chevy Silverado?

First you have to replace the Fuel Pump Trip Circuit Fuse under the hood. Once that's done you need to get an instrument cluster from a junk yard. Remove the screws that hold it in place then pull on it to disconnect all of the electrical connections. Reverse this procedure once you get the new one in.

What controls the gauge cluster?

The instrument panel, which includes the speedometer and tachometer, is controlled by a device called a gauge cluster. Instrument clusters are responsible for relaying information about the vehicle's speed, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level and other data to the driver. These clusters are typically made up of five different gauges. These gauges are digital speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge and temperature/voltmeter. The various types of instrument clusters may vary in shape and size.

Does changing the instrument cluster change mileage?

Installing a new instrument cluster will not change the mileage of your vehicle. The circuit board inside the cluster is what regulates the mileage. When you buy a used cluster, chances are it will not be programmed with your vehicle's specific mileage. The transmission temperature gauge may operate sluggishly after installation of a used cluster, but this will have no effect on the overall performance of the vehicle. Replacement instrument cluster installations can be completed in an hour or two depending on the year and make of your vehicle. The process is a little complicated, so it's best to tackle this job with the assistance of a repair manual. Review helpful diagrams as you work through the replacement process.
